MDN/Archives/Get involved/Doc Sprints/2013July

This is a virtual sprint, with no central gathering. However, local meet-ups are encouraged.

• Etherpad for notes

Schedule

• Start: 26 July, 15:00 UTC (8:00 a.m. Pacific Time) See this time in your time zone
• End: 27 July, 23:59 UTC (5:00 p.m. Pacific Time) See this time in your time zone
• Coordination via #devmo on irc.mozilla.org

You are welcome to start earlier or continue later, but this time frame is when you are likely to find other people online working on MDN. Obviously, you do not have to participate the entire time; drop in when it's convenient, and sleep when you need to.

Topics

One focus area for this sprint will be tagging pages that have static samples that need to be converted to be "live samples". Use the tag "NeedsLiveSample"

For this sprint, please don't actually convert the samples to live samples. We will be using these tagged pages in a workshop at the OHM festival in early August.

Here are some other suggestions of things to work on.

• MDN documentation wishlist
• Firefox issues with doc impacts
• Add browser compatibility tables to CSS, DOM, and JavaScript reference pages.
• Fill out browser compatibility tables on reference pages where they exist, based on info from caniuse.com and quirksmode.org.
• Pages that need technical review.
• Pages that need editorial review
• David Bruant's TODO list (mostly JS-related stuffs)
• Make videos showing how to get and build Firefox code.
• Integrate Mozilla blog posts into documentation.

Suggest a topic, either that you want to work on, or that you'd like to see done by someone.
