Hi
I think this is an amazing project and it will be very helpful for
developers :)
- If our compatibility data are available in a structured way, How would
you have us to display/use such compatibility information on MDN?
I like how the tables are displayed in
http://caniuse.com because you can
see at a glance if something is supported in the different versions (or if
there is any regression).
Maybe the table at the bottom of the page and a link/button in on the top
to access directly to the table. I prefer not to use tabs to separate
mobile and desktop but have all in the same table. Also it's a good idea
hide the old versions of the browsers with the option to expand the table.
A section of notes (or footnotes) I think is also needed to put links to
bugs or documentation for not fully implemented features.
- When contributing such compatibility data, what's bother you and how
would you prefer to contribute such data?
With an "Edit" button that transforms the cells in inputs/selects and that
allows add new rows (browser's versions) could be easy for contributors to
maintain the tables manually.
Get all the info that we can automatically from browsers is also a good
idea, but with a warning (some kind of tag, or maybe put the cell in other
color) to change or confirm the sent data.
Also, I don't know if lot of people (contributors in that case) going to
access MDN with browsers others that Firefox (desktop) or Chrome/Chromium,
so we are not going to get data from new mobile/tablet versions of the
browsers (one of the most interested things for me)
- Beyond displaying the data on MDN, how would you access those data
(while editing MDN or on another web site), and for what purpose?
An API that can be used for debugging tools would be great (and really
useful), but if people are not actually in the page, we're not going to
have less contributions to this data?
And agree GA integration is a great feature :)
Best regards
