More than 30 contributors from at least a dozen countries, touching approximately 300 documentation pages.

Those are the results from the documentation sprint that started Friday, January 28 at 14:00 UTC. While the sprint was scheduled to end at midnight UTC on Saturday, some participants were still making updates on Sunday.

This sprint provided a couple of instances of cooperation with other organizations that I believe bodes well for MDN’s future as a resource, not just for Mozilla technologies, but for open web technologies in general.

Paul Irish, developer relations dude for Google Chrome, and one of the folks behind Modernizr and HTML5 Boilerplate, helped muster participants, and then during the sprint, added browser compatibility tables for a number of CSS and DOM pages.

Colin Clark and Anastasia Cheetham from the Inclusive Design Research Centre began work on updating and migrating information on accessibility and ARIA from the CodeTalks wiki to MDN. Colin first approached me about the possibility of doing this during the Mozilla Drumbeat Festival, back in November. During the sprint, Colin created An overview of accessible web applications and widgets, and Anastasia created Keyboard-navigable JavaScript widgets.

Below is a summary of the work that was accomplished. Given the massive amount of work that was done, I might have omitted something; if so, please let me know and I’ll correct this post. I am deeply grateful to everyone who contributed, and especially to those who spent large chunks of their weekend free time on the sprint.
