=== | === MDN wiki gets a brain transplant === | ||
The Mozilla Developer Network's wiki, which used to run on the MindTouch platform, is now running on the Mozilla-built [https://github.com/mozilla/kuma/ Kuma] platform. Based on the [https://github.com/mozilla/kitsune Kitsune] platform that powers SUMO, this new wiki system provides incredible performance, flexibility, and power. On top of all that, because we built it, we have a great deal of capability to update and improve it. In fact, it's already been upgraded three times since we launched it at the end of July! | |||
If you're curious about the new system, check out [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Project:Getting_started_with_Kuma Getting started with Kuma]. If you'd like to learn more about the KumaScript language that provides scriptable templates for the wiki, have a look at [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Project:Introduction_to_KumaScript Introduction to KumaScript]. | |||
The MDN writing community sends a tip of the hat and an enormous "thank you" to our development team: Luke Crouch, Les Orchard, James Bennett, David Walsh, and Craig Cook. Bonus kudos go out to these folks in IT and WebOps: Jake Maul, Jason Thomas, Chris Turra, and Sheeri Cabral. And of course, don't forget the guys in QA and security that tested this stuff for us: Stephen Donner, Raymond Etornam, and Adam Muntner. | |||
These guys worked very hard -- sometimes too hard -- for the last few months. We're easing off a bit to let them catch their breath, but we have [http://www.bitstampede.com/2012/08/15/mdn-development-plans/ lots of excellent new stuff coming]! | |||
