News

Note items here that you want to be sure the community is aware of. We won't rehash what's listed here, but may raise and discuss questions about these items.

• MDN 2015 plans
  • This page also contains staff deliverables for Q1. If any of these interest you, talk to the person responsible. You can also take ideas from the prioritization matrix.
• (Jeremie) The Learning Area is about to be soft launch
  • It will be added to the main menu on MDN, but not announced, except at FOSDEM.
  • The glossary has had a thorough cleaning, and is in very good shape.
  • Next week, we will resume adding new content, and improving the contribution process.
  • If you are interested in helping, please attend the next Learning Area meeting on Monday at 18:00 UTC.
• (Jean-Yves) Next Wednesday, WednesdayDocs in Paris and London and we have a meetup page! [1]
  • Everyone is welcome, in person or online. Please respond on the meetup page if you're attending in person, so we know how much food and drink to order.
• (Sphinx) We have a new, very active localizer, known as cdr.
• (Jean-Yves) For those attending FOSDEM, there will be a Mozilla locasprint on Saturday, exact location TBD. Check with the Mozilla booth for more info.
• (Ali) Hack on MDN Attendee invitations will go out tomorrow. Location: Berlin; dates: March 27-29. This will be in the current Berlin office, even though it's moving very soon after that.
• (Jean-Yves) Translation of JavaScript docs in French is in very good shape, thanks to Sphinx!

Topics for Discussion

Are you facing a challenge with something related to MDN, or need help from others in the community? Please bring it up for discussion.

• (Janet) Spam situation
  • Rate of spam pages is slowing a bit, but profile spam remains high.
  • Discussions of ways to prevent it continue.
  • If you want to be able to help with spam by banning users and deleting pages, contact an MDN admin (most staff).
• (Saurabh) What's up with recognition/badges?
  • The plan we decided on a year ago got stalled because development priorities shifted. Janet is working on revising the plan so it doesn't depend on development (manually awarding badges via badges.mozilla.org).
  • Janet is also working on a process to make sure that MDN contributors get vouched on mozillians.org. These will both be part of the Community Engagement plan for MDN.

Miscellaneous
