'''Content on developer hub sub-meeting: Action items'''
*Andy and Piotr: Submission API. 
**add to MDN. not user friendly yet. How to fill in gaps and add to MDN. 
**which pieces need MDN help? (Action items for Mark)
**Submission API docs are currently on readthedocs [3]. They are not dev-friendly enough and there are some gaps. Please proofread and propose changes or point out gaps that need filled. help move this into MDN [4]. We can do that anytime, just need to poke andym beforehand to avoid conflicts. Then we'll remove the docs from zamboni and consider MDN canonical from then on.
*mortar docs are somewhat slim.
**[1] Please assess what currently exists (incl. James' new tutorial) and point out which gaps there are to make it compelling.
**same for WebGameStub, please.[2] WGS has more docs than mortar, and a lot of them are likely to apply to mortar just as well, so keep that in mind.

*Havi/Janet happy to help with wording and setting expectations for developer docs and foreseeable changes / expansion.
