Introducing the new MDN Community page

We aim to make your community experience welcoming and engaging. You'll quickly find the resources you need, and we'll showcase more of the community's contributions. I'm excited to guide you through the new updates that make this space more interactive and valuable for everyone!

Our new Community page highlights contributions from developers, writers, and learners who work together to improve MDN. Many community members contribute to MDN to grow their technical, writing, and language skills while building connections with collaborators. We invite you to connect with other members, share your knowledge, learn from others, and grow professionally alongside peers as passionate about the web as you are.

Meet Our Contributors highlights people who have contributed to the platform. We celebrate the diverse skills and backgrounds that help MDN's mission to provide a blueprint for a better internet and empower a new generation of developers and content creators to build it.

The Contributor Spotlight program is a series of personal stories about what motivates people to work on MDN. People like Joshua appreciate MDN's infrastructure, which is unique in how it helps everyone work efficiently, or Hochan, who enjoys the community's diversity and how it broadens his perspective. We're proud to amplify and share the voices of our community and the reasons why they are driven to improve MDN.

We want this to be a community where everyone's contributions are visible and valued. If you're passionate about making the web better, there are so many ways to get involved. You can squash bugs, improve content, help with localization, or even answer questions on Discord. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps shape the future of MDN, and we want to ensure those efforts don't go unnoticed.

By contributing, your name could also appear on this page as one of the dedicated individuals shaping the web. Whether through our GitHub repository, working on translation efforts, or simply helping out other developers, there are plenty of opportunities to be a part of this community and leave your mark. The new page makes it easier than ever to get started, with guides and resources available to help you find the best way to contribute.

If you're new to contributing to MDN, we've made it easier than ever to get started. We've added a video that offers simple, clear instructions on how you can begin making an impact. We collaborate on GitHub, and you'll find step-by-step guidance to help you with writing, fixing bugs, or even improving documentation. Plus, you can check out our helpful video on how to get started with contributing to MDN Web Docs, so you're fully prepared to make your first contribution.

MDN is driven by a global community dedicated to documenting the web for the future. Whatever your skill set, there's a place for you to make a difference. You can now easily get involved, and start playing your part in building a better, more inclusive web.

We understand if you're new to MDN or open-source projects, and would like to start right away. That is exactly why we have our first issues front and center, it is the perfect place to start. We've highlighted beginner-friendly issues to help you improve MDN. This section lists specific tasks that are great for first-time contributors, whether it's fixing a bug, addressing an issue with documentation, or enhancing translated content. You'll find clear guidance on how to contribute, along with links to relevant repositories, so you can jump right in and start making an impact.

MDN is an open-source project that you can help us shape in many ways. We'd love it if you dropped by our Discord so you can get to know other community members, ask questions, and get help from fellow developers. It's a space for lively discussion where you can share ideas and seek advice. Also, we invite you to Join our Community Call, where you'll receive updates from the MDN team, hear about new initiatives, and share your questions and thoughts on how we can continue improving the platform and content. Whether through Discord or our calls, we want you to have the space to connect and make an impact in this community.

MDN Resources are openly accessible and free to reuse under a variety of open-source licenses. We encourage developers, educators, and content creators to use and share MDN's materials, as long as proper attribution is given. Our goal is to ensure that the knowledge we build together is freely available to anyone who needs it, while still protecting the contributions of our community members.

We're incredibly excited about the future of our community and what we can build together. We want our platform to be even more collaborative, accessible, and vibrant, where every contribution supports and shapes the web, and there's a place for everyone to make an impact.

We'd love to hear your feedback on the new community page or any ideas you have for improving MDN. Let us know on Discord or start a discussion on GitHub. I look forward to seeing you there!
