MDN is undergoing a major redesign with improved design, layout, page customization options and navigation. To ensure that the redesign is the best it can be, we have made the design available to anyone who would like to help with beta testing. Remember that this is a beta. You can expect some bumps in the road, which we will work to correct them over time.

== How you can help ==


We would love for you to go around the site and take a look at everything. Try reading documentation, editing pages and making other site contributions. Remember that even though you will see our new design, you will be working with the same documentation everyone else sees. Any changes you make will be seen by all users, whether they are testing the beta or not.

== Final word ==
 
Really don't hesitate to give us information. The more feedback of good quality we get the more we will be able to consider in the next cycle beginning now.
 
Try to be precise and specific, it helps us. If you are using bugzilla, one problem per bug please, if you are using dev-mdc, you can of course put several points in your e-mail. But try to use different paragraphs, maybe numbered, so that it can be more easily referenced and evaluated.


We are very excited with this redesign and we want to improve it a lot in the next few months: your feedback is a very important element in achieving this.
== Thanks! ==


'''The whole MDN team thank you in advance! And let's test!'''
We are very excited to be launching the beta of this new design, and are even more excited to be working with you to make it better. Thank you for all of your feedback.
