Content

• Template updates
  • We did a regeneration of all pages last week to ensure that all templates were up-to-date site-wide. This took about 18 hours, so we expect to do it periodically going forward
  • Work continues both to modernize and improve template functionality, but also to update the way things look for the MDN redesign
• MDN user/editor docs work continues
  • Getting closer to having the new versions done!
• APIs
  • Goes well! But huge amount of work to do
• We probably will need some help with tagging articles in the next 2-3 weeks!
  • Info will come on dev-mdc asap!

Process

• You've heard this before, but the Trello system for tracking our work should deploy by next week. There's now some... encouragement... from management to have this done. :)
• dev-mdc is the place to learn about the day to day work and to ask question, get information, give feedback, ...

MDN Site

• For those interested in the impending redesign of MDN, there will be a meeting to discuss the proposed mockups & First Draft of new homepage design on Friday, at 13:00 UTC, in #devmo
• Redesign is now available on the production server, behind an admin setting per-user.
• Still under heavy development, but it's now usable.
• Iterating with the dev team to update and improve things, and stuff not yet implemented at all is coming soon!
• The team is rocking it big time; special kudos to the designers (habber and mart3ll especially) and the dev team (most of the credit here goes to davidwalsh).
• If you'd like to beta-test the redesign, please talk to an MDN admin (sheppy, teoli, jms, wbamberg, or chrismills) or to one of the MDN developers (especially groovecoder or davidwalsh).
