The MDN site is under active development and is constantly evolving. In addition to the paid engineering, writing and product teams, the MDN community contributes feature requests, helps prioritize work and contributes code to the platform.

Development Process

In March of 2013, the MDN development team switched from using Agile to a continuous deployment process using Kanban.

Following development in real time

If you want to stay in the loop on a bug or a set of bugs, be sure to add yourself to the "cc" list. Designers and developers update bugs with discussions and decisions as they go. A github robot will automatically comment on bugs when corresponding code is merged into the master line of development. Those commits are automatically pushed to the dev server every 5 minutes:

https://developer-dev.allizom.org/

The dev team pushes commits to stage and production servers when the code is ready. You can see which commits are on the stage & production servers here:

http://mzl.la/mdn_whats_deployed

Commits also often include numbers of bugs that you can visit to see relevant discussions.
