Please consider contributing to MDN. It's the best source for web development and it would be great to keep everything there, properly cross-referenced, etc.
The statement from b1tr0t directly refute that Google is contributing to MDN, as they put it: "Fully agree with you that docs are all over the place. We've started to consolidate docs under web.dev". As far as I know, web.dev is not MDN and has nothing to do with MDN.
As another user mentioned, we do contribute to MDN. MDN is where we point devs for reference documentation. web.dev is for guides, how to's and other support docs.
Heh, you're asking a googler who's basically responsible for some of the actions Google is taking with Chrome, trying to make the web only browseable via Chrome and centralizing information under their own Google brand, to contribute to a cross-company/community effort (Mozilla + Microsoft + open source hackers)? While noble, I can only wish you good luck.
I think the sail has long sailed for asking Chrome/Google to help out with the openness/sharing on the web/internet. It's time we just start ignoring them instead.
Just want to note that you specifically mentioned Microsoft working with open source hackers in this comment saying that the ship has long since sailed on Chrome/Google contributing to the open web.
I don't know, never say never I guess. I'm certainly not going to defend Google's track record on openness and privacy -- there have been, under even the most generous of interpretations, huge missteps, and I don't think they deserve the benefit of the doubt -- but they do contribute. Edge backed by Chromium?
Reading that announcement makes b1tr0t's statement "We've started to consolidate docs under web.dev" even worse, as they previously said they are gonna contribute to MDN, but now they have turned and use their own shit anyways.
Just so understand correctly, you're contributing reference documentation to MDN but then everything else goes into web.dev? Why not contribute the "guides and other supporting documentation" to MDN as well?
As I understand, the Product Advisory Board for MDN was created with Mozilla + others in order to combat the fragmentation of information, but your actions seems to do the opposite.
