Jay's Notes

Hacks.mozilla.org

• Need better navigation (perhaps a universal Mozilla Developer Network toolbar nav/ribbon?)
• Add breadcrumbs to assist navigation (home -> blog | demo | ??? -> some category -> page title)
• Categories for posts, demos, pages + Tags for everything? ----> to make the indexing and search better
• Keep blog stream with posts + demos... but pull demos into a Demo Gallery
• Add "Team" page so folks know who we are, adds some personality... we can invite community members that contribute regularly to be a part of the "team" and include them on this page.
• Add "Reference" links to any common terms or tags.
• Add "Code/Source" button next to all demos for those that want quick access to the source.

• Add demo gallery
• Add view of articles by topic/feature instead of by date
• Directory of all articles
• Add prev/next page navigation at the bottom of each page

MDC

• Improve layout of reference pages (e.g. https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/opacity)... there is a lot of great info there, but it's all stacked in rows. It would be great to have get some UE love to clean these pages up.
• Home page needs to integrate DevNews and Hacks better. Either through a navigation menu or layout tweaks. MDC + DevNews + Hacks should all be consistent in look and feel.
• Not sure where we would enable comments... we should figure out which content would be better served with community discussion.
• Promo space for developer related outreach

• add comments to docs
  • need ability to disable comments on a per-page basis
• localization: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=519025&hide_resolved=1
• integrate/promote hacks (consistent headers & footers on MDN)
• fix search
• add a form-based setup for user profiles, could tie into the user page
