Doc Sprint Planning

Open Web Doc Sprint

Goal: Create tutorials for web developers on using open web standards.

Dates: 9-11 October, 2010

Location: Mozilla office, Paris France

Potential Topics

• HTML5 (incl. video)
• CSS3
• JavaScript (esp. multithreading)
• SVG
• WebSockets
• MathML
• IndexedDB

Some of Paul Rouget's demos could be used as a basis for a tutorial. That is, describe each of the parts that go into the demo, and how they fit together.

Here are some examples of tutorials to use as inspiration:

• Canvas tutorial on MDN
• Tutorial on HTML5 and CSS3, focusing on document sectioning
• Read HTML5 Audio Data with Firefox 4

Participant Profile

• Familiar with at least one of the target topics.
• Able to read code and then describe it in words.
• Lives in Europe.
• Moderately fluent in English.
• Preferably already active in the Mozilla community. However, topic expertise trumps this.
