Welcome
Glad you're interested in helping with Mozilla Developer Network! As you get involved, please reach out to us:
IRC
We're in #mdn on irc.mozilla.org. Check with groovecoder and lorchard about how to get started. Just send a groovecoder: or lorchard: message and we should see get a notification even if we're not immediately available. Or you can email us.
If you're more comfortable with email, you can email lcrouch at mozilla dot com or lorchard at mozilla dot com. We get lots of mail but we'll try to respond quickly.
How to contribute
There are a few ways to contribute to MDN:
- Code
- Localization
- MDN Documentation
- Demos
Code
We always like to see more coders around! MDN code is something of a hodge-podge - we run an instance of MindTouch to power the documentation wiki alongside a django site very close to, but not derived from, the standard Mozilla playdoh site. So our technology stack is primarily python, django, html, javascript, and css.
It's best to contribute to the django code. Our repository is on github - https://github.com/mozilla/kuma. Make a fork, and then either do a local installation, or use a ready-made virtual machine.
Local Installation
Follow the installation instructions. We try to keep them updated, but if you run into issues, ping us on irc or email so we can help fix them.
