That's right! We threw the switch!

As of about 10:30 am, we have switched from the MindTouch-based wiki to our new Kuma platform wiki for the Mozilla Developer Network.

Huge thanks to our dev, QA & IT teams: Luke Crouch, Les Orchard, James Bennett, David Walsh, Craig Cook, Raymond Etornam Agbeame, Jake Maul, James Socol, Stephen Donner - words cannot even begin describe how awesome you guys are. You've been tireless in making this thing happen, and happen well. Plus, you delivered one of the most flawless launches I've ever experienced. Kudos. Now go take a breather, you deserve it.

And...another huge thank you to the entire MDN docs team (especially Sheppy, Jean-Yves Perrier, John Karahalis, & Jay Patel) and community (you know who you are) for the feedback, testing, bug filing, template fixes & enthusiastic & vocal support you've provided for kuma. We will keep on making it better!

A few notes:
*There are likely to still be some rough edges on the wiki, and it might be missing functionality you've been asking for - we have a big list of fixes and improvements we are planning to make in the weeks and months ahead. We will be reaching out to everyoen in the community to help prioritize improvement requests and keep making MDN even better for you.
* Please use the big "Report a bug" button at the top-right corner of the window any time you have a problem, concern, see something that looks wrong, or have an idea for a brilliant way to improve the system.
*We have updated documentation for using the wiki, as well as an updated Editor guide & guide to the new template scripting (Kumascript)
* l10n features, in particular, are much improved. We hope you enjoy and use them!

This is a huge milestone for MDN and the culmination of several years of planning and development work. We're all very excited and hope everyone who uses MDN will enjoy the new platform features and performance improvements.

I AM SO HAPPY :-)
So many improvements that fix things that were so painful ("save and
keep editing", being able to decouple title and URL slug, etc.). And
performance and I guess stability. For the past 6-8 months, people have
been suffering from code snippets occasionally not loading. And JS-based
templating is just an excellent idea.
As far as I'm concerned, the best feature is that now, we can move
forward to improve the platform and fit it to our needs better. It's not
really a feature. I guess the platform is the feature :-)

Anyway, thank you very much !

David

Huge congratulations to everyone who made this happen. Each and every
person on this project has blown me away more times than I can count....
and the final product shows it.

Huge improvements for editors, huge improvements for localizers,
JavaScript templates, performance that continues to amaze us, a platform
that is much more extensible for our unique needs, and much much more.

This could not have happened without some of the most amazing
developers, users, community members, and managers I know. Looking
forward to many more improvements to come.
