Mozilla Developer Network
Mozilla Developer Network (MDN), formerly Mozilla Developer Center, is the official Mozilla Foundation website for development documentation of web standards and Mozilla projects.[1]
History
The project was started in 2005, and initially led by Mozilla Corporation employee Deb Richardson in 2005. Documentation efforts have been led by Eric Shepherd since 2006.[2]
The initial content for the website was provided by DevEdge, for which the Mozilla Foundation was granted a license by AOL.[3][2] The site now contains a mix of content migrated from DevEdge and mozilla.org, as well as original and more up-to-date content.[4][5] Documentation was also migrated from XULPlanet.com.
MDN has a newsgroup and an IRC channel #mdn on the Mozilla IRC Network. MDN is funded by the Mozilla Foundation and Mozilla Corporation with servers and employees.
