In order to plan ahead for the work that we need to do to make MDN better for everyone, we spec out large-scale projects that need to be done in advance. This includes both content projects and development projects.

A content project is any project primarily centered around the writing community. This includes cleaning up of landing pages, writing large-scale new documentation sets (such as documenting a whole new API), and so forth.

A development project is primarily handled by the development team or development volunteers. These projects are things like implementing large-scale new features or broad changes to the site's function or appearance. Some examples might be things like redesigning the editor interface or adding a new dashboard.

Potential priority documentation work

The following list is a list of APIs and/or technologies which we've been told are a priority. We record the number of people/teams that have requested an API to help gauge importance.

API/Tech Num. Requests Notes
WebCrypto 1
Media Source Extensions 1
WebRTC 3 We have scraps of very very old docs for this. A doc project is ramping up; this is a Q3 2014 goal. Details soon!
mozCameras 1 Docs are now very out of date, and it's now available to privileged apps, not just certified ones, so more devs may find it useful.

Completed Projects

Google Summer of Code
