This is a virtual sprint, with no central gathering. However, local meet-ups are encouraged.

Schedule
- Start: 22 March, 15:00 UTC (8:00 a.m. Pacific Time)
- End: 23 March, 23:59 UTC (4:00 p.m. Pacific Time)
- Coordination via #devmo on irc.mozilla.org
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:
- getUserMedia
- offline storage, including localStorage, IndexedDB, and cross-browser strategies
- DOM Storage
- IndexedDB landing page
- Blog posts to integrate: There is no simple solution for local storage (verbatim, but capture limitations re localStorage]
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.
