MDN Plus
Late comment but I don't understand why all of MDN, and this, can't be fully funded through corporate sponsors via Open Web Docs. There's already about ~750k in annual budget and there is nearly(I say nearly because I'm not sure but couldn't find it) zero reference to it from MDN; you know, the site people <i>actually visit</i> and know about.<p>I would imagine if sponsorships were more visible, and given the importance of MDN to the industry, there would be plenty of money available to operate the project both technically(servers etc) and managerially(staff writers/developers providing the framework for browser vendor and other contributions).<p>It's really baffling to try to pull these funds from individual developers' bottom line instead of companies; the entry point of the revenue stream generated with the benefit of these docs. It just doesn't quite feel right but I can't fully explain why. The move just feels <i>off</i>.<p>EDIT: Okay I think this might come close to conveying my sentiment. We are being asked to pay to support Google, Microsoft, Apple, and Mozilla's browser documentation.. Huh?
