00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,599
MDN Web Docs
Contributors needed

2
00:00:02,599 --> 00:00:05,277
MDN is the biggest resource on the internet
(Ruth John, MDN Staff Technical Writer - Mozilla)

3
00:00:05,277 --> 00:00:07,333
for documentation of languages

4
00:00:07,333 --> 00:00:09,246
that we use to write web code

5
00:00:09,246 --> 00:00:11,096
it's a very big resource
(17 million global users)

6
00:00:11,096 --> 00:00:14,071
so keeping it up to date is quite a task
(13,000 pages of documentation)

7
00:00:14,071 --> 00:00:17,272
which is our main remit here on the MDN team at Mozilla
(Translated in 7 languages)

8
00:00:17,272 --> 00:00:18,285
we need contributors

9
00:00:18,285 --> 00:00:21,333
because the web is a big complex technology 
(Daniel Beck, MDN Technical Content Lead - Mozilla)

10
00:00:21,333 --> 00:00:23,400
and this is not something

11
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,969
a small isolated group can do by themselves

12
00:00:25,969 --> 00:00:28,160
you can only have it happen through collaboration

13
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,844
there are many ways we can contribute to MDN
(HoChan, MDN contributor from South Korea)

14
00:00:30,844 --> 00:00:32,539
MDN is open source

15
00:00:32,539 --> 00:00:35,160
that means that anybody can contribute

16
00:00:35,160 --> 00:00:37,949
and help us to keep all those pages up to date

17
00:00:37,949 --> 00:00:39,830
contributing to open source projects 
(Irvin, Volunteer of MozTW - Taiwan Community)

18
00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:42,069
is an opportunity for you to improve your ability

19
00:00:42,069 --> 00:00:43,829
and also build your resume

20
00:00:43,829 --> 00:00:45,840
build your experience

21
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:49,704
the good thing contributing to MDN for me
(Takeshi, MDN contributor from Japan)

22
00:00:49,704 --> 00:00:53,224
is it helps me to know many people

23
00:00:53,224 --> 00:00:56,965
in MDN there are several ways to get involved

24
00:00:56,965 --> 00:00:58,399
if you spot something

25
00:00:58,399 --> 00:01:00,119
that you think could improve on a page

26
00:01:00,119 --> 00:01:02,343
something to add, a typo to fix

27
00:01:02,343 --> 00:01:03,424
anything at all like that

28
00:01:03,424 --> 00:01:06,267
you can scroll down to the bottom of the page

29
00:01:06,267 --> 00:01:07,367
and there's this box

30
00:01:07,367 --> 00:01:09,310
where you can say you found a problem with this page

31
00:01:09,310 --> 00:01:12,490
you can directly edit the content on Github

32
00:01:12,490 --> 00:01:14,060
or you can go to this link

33
00:01:14,060 --> 00:01:16,830
where you'll be taken to a template

34
00:01:16,830 --> 00:01:19,620
and you'll be contributing in just a matter of minutes

35
00:01:19,620 --> 00:01:21,752
going to Github and check our repository

36
00:01:21,752 --> 00:01:24,120
it's under mdn/content

37
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:25,245
the easiest way to get started

38
00:01:25,245 --> 00:01:27,485
is just to tell us when you spot a problem

39
00:01:27,485 --> 00:01:31,000
