The MDN redesign launched on December 9, 2013. While the beta testing phase is over, we are welcoming feedback on the live redesign site.


MDN is undergoing a major redesign with improved visual style, layout, page customization options, navigation, and platform features. To ensure that the redesign is the best it can be, we have made it available to anyone who would like to help with beta testing. Remember that this is a beta, so while we are correcting issues quickly, you may discover some bumps along the way.

'''Before anything else, please [http://mzl.la/mdn-redesign-feedback file one bug for each piece of feedback you want to share]. We would love to hear from you on IRC and through our mailing lists, but if you have not already filed a bug we will probably ask you to do so. Remember to always use this form, as it will group feedback appropriately and ensure that the team sees it.'''

You can join the conversation in [[IRC|IRC]]. You can meet us in #mdn for general discussion, #devmo for discussion about documentation and #mdndev for discussion about development work that is underway. You can also Talk on our mailing lists. The documentation community can be reached at [https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-mdc dev-mdc@mozilla.org] and the platform development community can be reached at [https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-mdn dev-mdn@mozilla.org].
 
== Follow up on Bugs / Feedback ==
 
A couple times each week, we'll send out the list of bugs that are new and need to be categorized (blocks launch or does not) to the [https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/mdn mdn@lists.mozilla.org] mailing list (which is used to prioritize work on MDN and is open for anyone to participate). Bugs will be discussed there and the team can, collectively,  decide what needs to be fixed before the redesign launches to the general public. We also will have a weekly, open meeting to make calls on anything that is stalled. Meetings are held every Tuesday at 17:00 UTC (10am PST) on IRC in #devmo.

=== Following development in real time ===
 
If you want to stay in the loop on a bug or a set of bugs, be sure to '''add yourself to the "cc" list'''. Designers and developers update bugs with discussions and decisions as they go. A github robot will automatically comment on bugs when corresponding code is merged into the master line of development. Those commits are automatically pushed to the dev server every 5 minutes:
 
https://developer-dev.allizom.org/
 
The dev team pushes commits to stage and production servers when the code is ready. You can see which commits are on the stage & production servers here:
 
http://mzl.la/mdn_whats_deployed
 
Commits also often include numbers of bugs that you can visit to see relevant discussions.
