MDN/Archives/Development/Redesign/Testing

MDN is undergoing a major redesign, with improved design, layout, page customization options and navigation. To ensure that the redesign is the best that it can be, we have made the new design available to anyone who would like to help with beta testing.

Notes and information

New features look look out for are as follows:

• Certain pages have been converted into Zones, which are basically landing pages for specific focus topics like projects or tasks (Firefox, Firefox OS, Building Apps.) These have a distinct look and feel, and an integrated zone menu that persists between all the pages that under the zone in the document hierarchy. Examples:
  • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox_OS
  • https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Apps
