== Getting Started ==
== Getting Started ==
Note: As of July 2016, we are starting the long process of switching from a Vagrant / Virtualbox development environment to a Docker development and deployment environment. There are many issues and bad experiences with the Vagrant environment, and, since it will soon be retired, those will probably not be fixed.  During this transition, which may take the rest of 2016, it will be more difficult than we'd like to contribute code to MDN.
We use Docker for development and deployment. Docker works reasonable well for backend development on a macOS or Linux environment. There are additional steps required for front-end development. No staff developers use Windows, and you will need previous Docker experience on Windows to get a development environment working.


Some other projects that are in a better position for new developer volunteers:
We're triaging incoming bugs and legacy bugs (oldest first), and marking good first bugs by adding a mentor. We also annotate with a Level of Difficulty (<code>[lod:]</code>) and a Point system (<code>points:</code>). Smaller numbers generally mean easier issues. See the [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1h3R5v60ZXaRG4pFI5Ia2Woov-39Swda6Z5Jxp0F4GDI/edit?usp=sharing MDN Triage Process] for details.

* [TestPilot](https://github.com/mozilla/testpilot/labels/good-first-bug)
Staff developers are currently focused on tuning MDN for AWS and reducing existing technical debt. MDN has a mature codebase, and there's not much new development, which means there aren't a lot of good first bugs. We're not aware of other Mozilla projects that are in a better position for new contributors.
