Web compatibility tables (WCT) are one of the key feature of MDN. It allows users to know more about the reliability of any web standard features and to ease the use of web technologies. Currently, the data are gather and maintain "by hand". Thanks to our awesome community we have some good data. However, this is hardly sustainable as the number of technologies is growing as well a the complexity of the implementation. We start to face some difficulties to stay up to date and to provide and improved content around those data.

Goals

Goals and how we see the project is elaborated in the Vision Document

NOTE: Initial goal elaboration is commented in this page.


Critical Path

To ensure the success of the project, the following schema detailed its critical path in term of actions.

Critical path

It can be roughly summarized as follow:

  1. Retrieve the most important needs (requirement and use cases) regarding the data
  2. Handle a data storage
  3. Build how to get data
  4. Build how to expose data
