MDN/Doc Sprints/2013April
Location: Mozilla Space in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Remote participation and meet-ups are also encouraged.
Schedule
The following are the times when in-person sprinters are going to be working. Remote sprinters are welcome to work outside these hours, whenever is convenient in your time zone.
- Friday: 9:30am to 5:30pm PT (16:30 Fri to 00:30 Sat UTC)
- Saturday: 9:00am to 4:00pm PT (16:00 to 23:00 UTC)
- Sunday: 9:30am to 5:00pm PT (16:30 to 00:00 UTC)
You are welcome to start earlier or continue later, but this time frame is when you are likely to find other people online working on MDN. Obviously, you do not have to participate the entire time; drop in when it's convenient, and sleep when you need to.
Topics
There are two major topics to focus on:
- Web Workers
- Web device APIs
We need to improve the reference pages, and create or enhance tutorial and guides for these topics.
Contributions on other topics are, of course, also welcome.
- MDN documentation wishlist
- Firefox issues with doc impacts
- Add browser compatibility tables to CSS, DOM, and JavaScript reference pages.
- Fill out browser compatibility tables on reference pages where they exist, based on info from caniuse.com and quirksmode.org.
- Pages that need technical review.
- Pages that need editorial review
- David Bruant's TODO list (mostly JS-related stuffs)
- Add live samples to existing articles on CSS, HTML, and JavaScript.
- Make videos showing how to get and build Firefox code.
Suggest a topic, either that you want to work on, or that you'd like to see done by someone.
