MDN Q1 Sprint 2 demo, Thu 2 Mar, 08:00 PST, 16:00 UTC

[Janet Swisher]

Hi MDN folks!

On Thursday, 2 March, (08:00 PST, 16:00 PST), the MDN team will be
holding a demo session to show off achievements accomplished during the
second sprint of this quarter.

This is session is part of a series of demos by "durable teams" within
Marketing to show work done during this sprint; as such, it is a chance
for us to show our work to the rest of Mozilla Marketing.

Since significant work on MDN is done by community members, we are
inviting you all to attend and participate. If you have something you'd
like to share, please add it to the agenda
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/10DA5icVCOwiAevvrXMESfsdUr5uohlYNemtj9HPKzRE/edit?usp=sharing>.
If you aren't able to access Google Docs, email me and I'll add your
item. Also let me know if you have something to share but aren't able to
attend and show it yourself, so that I can share it on your behalf.

For connection info, including a guest link for Vidyo, see the calendar
item for this meeting on the Public MDN Events calendar
<https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=mozilla.com_2d35383...@resource.calendar.google.com&ctz=GMT>.
Please use that Vidyo link only for this meeting.

See the MDN Durable Team
<https://wiki.mozilla.org/Engagement/MDN_Durable_Team> wiki page if you
want more info about what this is all about.

Janet,

I thought sprint 2 included some web assembly work, but I don't see it on the agenda. Do you have an update on that?

[Chris Mills]

Hi Joe!

the reference and guides are all written:

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAssembly

This was the bulk of my work in sprint 1, and again in sprint 2.

Is there any outstanding work?

More work may follow later, but the initial set is pretty much done.

Later on we probably want to publish more guides on advanced techniques to build on the basics, plus we may also want to publish a reference to the commands available inside the S-expression language (we are holding off on that until it is finalized and we know it isn’t going to be radically changed).

Hi Joe,

Here's the WebAssembly epic:
https://tree.taiga.io/project/viya-mdn-durable-team/epic/1471

Chris showed off some of his WebAssembly work in the Sprint 1 demo
(which led to a discussion that helped less-technical Marketing folks
understand what WebAssembly is and why it's good).

For those who missed it, here are the slides from the MDN demo:

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1_z7jkfqz2gkgWhdCZgTB-m5bXD8kpOpO2iUuxEOoZMM/edit?usp=sharing

(If you can't access Google slides, let me know and I'll send you a PDF)

1. Florian covered progress on the HTTP documentation; advanced topics
are now complete. More than 180 pages have been written in total. Next
up will be HTTP/2 in Q2. We have already exceeded the goal for pageviews
(500K/month) of this section that was set last summer; in February
there were 508K pageviews. HTTP header articles are now linked from the
(Nightly) Dev Tools netmonitor, similar to the JS errors in the console,
which have been very successful.

2. Jean-Yves reported that the MDN team has taken over maintenance of
the content on platform-status.mozilla.org, and updated it for the last
6 months. This site was created by the WADI team, which no longer exists.

3. Jean-Yves also talked about the work done for "Firefox 52 for
developers". Fx52 will be the most important Firefox release from the
webdev perspective this half-year, due to delivering CSS Grids and Web
Assembly (and much more!). MDN has complete release notes, and >140
pages were updated for this release. The team also prepared about 20
tweets. Rachel Andrew is writing a set of guides about CSS Grids;
initial feedback is very good. This will be the best info about CSS
Grids on the web. Every member of the writing team contributed to this
effort, and there was collaboration with many teams inside and outside
Marketing.

4. Jon Petto showed the promotions that have been added to MDN for our
partnership with Sauce Labs for an extended trial offer to their testing
resources. The promotional boxes are only in relevant locations, with
great artwork and tasteful, non-pushy copy. This effort was a
collaboration with the Web Compatibility and Creative teams.
