On Synergy Effects with MDN

Hello,

Disclaimer: I'm not engaged with Mozilla and speak here completely on my
own.

I learned about the W3C efforts of setting up a beginner's documentation
of HTML and CSS just the other minute. It instantly reminded me on
Mozilla's developer network MDN:

http://developer.mozilla.org

It is a community-driven wiki, too, and aims at being a complete
resource for web-related technology, all together with references,
tutorials and in-depth articles on specific topics.

Evaluating possibilities to work together may be a rewarding option.
Just recently the HTML element reference

https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Element

has experienced a lot of work put into, with people from Mozilla and
Google working side by side with volunteers as myself. The content
becomes also more and more less Firefox-centered but enriched with
cross-browser information, like compatibility charts. As far as I know,
Opera and other browser vendors have been contacted to be invited in the
process of extending MDN.

If there is a basic interest in collaborating, I suggest getting in
touch via IRC: irc://irc.mozilla.org#devmo, with a Mozilla Foundation's
contact at the W3C or mailing Eric Shepherd (eshepherd at mozilla dot
com) or Janet Swisher (jswisher at mozilla dot com) of Mozilla directly.

Cheers,
Manuel Strehl
