    MDN is the biggest resource on the internet
    (Ruth John, MDN Staff Technical Writer - Mozilla)
  • 0:05 - 0:07
    for documentation of languages
  • 0:07 - 0:09
    that we use to write web code
  • 0:09 - 0:11
    it's a very big resource
    (17 million global users)
  • 0:11 - 0:14
    so keeping it up to date is quite a task
    (13,000 pages of documentation)
  • 0:14 - 0:17
    which is our main remit here on the MDN team at Mozilla
    (Translated in 7 languages)
  • 0:17 - 0:18
    we need contributors
  • 0:18 - 0:21
    because the web is a big complex technology
    (Daniel Beck, MDN Technical Content Lead - Mozilla)
  • 0:21 - 0:23
    and this is not something
  • 0:23 - 0:26
    a small isolated group can do by themselves
  • 0:26 - 0:28
    you can only have it happen through collaboration
  • 0:28 - 0:31
    there are many ways we can contribute to MDN
    (HoChan, MDN contributor from South Korea)
  • 0:31 - 0:33
    MDN is open source
  • 0:33 - 0:35
    that means that anybody can contribute
  • 0:35 - 0:38
    and help us to keep all those pages up to date
  • 0:38 - 0:40
    contributing to open source projects
    (Irvin, Volunteer of MozTW - Taiwan Community)
  • 0:40 - 0:42
    is an opportunity for you to improve your ability
  • 0:42 - 0:44
    and also build your resume
  • 0:44 - 0:46
    build your experience
  • 0:46 - 0:50
    the good thing contributing to MDN for me
    (Takeshi, MDN contributor from Japan)
  • 0:50 - 0:53
    is it helps me to know many people
  • 0:53 - 0:57
    in MDN there are several ways to get involved
  • 0:57 - 0:58
    if you spot something
  • 0:58 - 1:00
    that you think could improve on a page
  • 1:00 - 1:02
    something to add, a typo to fix
  • 1:02 - 1:03
    anything at all like that
  • 1:03 - 1:06
    you can scroll down to the bottom of the page
  • 1:06 - 1:07
    and there's this box
  • 1:07 - 1:09
    where you can say you found a problem with this page
  • 1:09 - 1:12
    you can directly edit the content on Github
  • 1:12 - 1:14
    or you can go to this link
  • 1:14 - 1:17
    where you'll be taken to a template
  • 1:17 - 1:20
    and you'll be contributing in just a matter of minutes
  • 1:20 - 1:22
    going to Github and check our repository
  • 1:22 - 1:24
    it's under mdn/content
  • 1:24 - 1:25
    the easiest way to get started
  • 1:25 - 1:27
    is just to tell us when you spot a problem
