== Converting MDN Pages to New Tables ==
Starting October 2015, we are converting 3-6 pages to include new compatibility tables generated from API-backed data.  These will only be visible to select MDN staff and collaborators.  The purpose is to:
* Discover bugs in the importer, API, new compatibility tables, and the conversion process,
* Enable MDN staff to make informed decisions on priorities and deliverables, and
* Define and deploy the features needed to open the new tables to beta users. 
=== Prerequisites ===
The new tables are only available to select MDN staff and collaborators.  To see if you are in this group:
# Sign into [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/ MDN] (Anonymous users get the old compatibility tables)
# Go to the [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/background#Browser_compatibility Browser Compatibility section of Web/CSS/background].  If you see the new table (green and red boxes, icon headers), then you are in testing group on MDN.
# Sign into the [https://browsercompat.herokuapp.com BrowserCompat website]
# Go to the [https://browsercompat.herokuapp.com/importer/651 importer page for /Web/CSS/background].  If there is a "Commit" button under actions, you have the ``import-mdn`` permission needed to convert an MDN page.
