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 [edit]
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] Significant effort has been made to migrate content from mozilla.org.[4] Many pages on mozilla.org now redirect to MDN. The site now contains a mix of content migrated from DevEdge and mozilla.org, as well as original and more up-to-date content.[5][6] Documentation was also migrated from XULPlanet.com.
MDN has a newsgroup (mozilla.dev.mdc) and an IRC channel #devmo on the Mozilla IRC Network. MDN is funded by the Mozilla Foundation with servers and employees.
