A decade of writing at Mozilla
I've had the pleasure to volunteer with Eric on MDN for more or less one year. He and the other staff and volunteers are amazing people. Then I had the pleasure to meet them in person last year in Canada for the Mozilla work week and see how things are organized in person.It's incredible how much stuff you can churn out when a lot of work is done by volunteers and not only paid staff.Also, as a volunteer, you have a lot of freedom in starting projects inside the main one, there's a real sense of meritocracy (you are valued for the work you do). I, for example, have been the topic leader for the MDN Glossary, a sub-section of the learning area.I recommend volunteering on MDN to anyone who wants to start technical writing and needs some guidance.
