We had the first MDN Product Advisory Board meeting! What happens when you get 9 standards-loving people in the same room to talk about documentation? Find out: hacks.mozilla.org/2018/01/in…

A particular @w3cdevs objective in the MDN PAB is to bring the standardization and documentation workflows closer together

For instance, the @w3ctag has been pushing @w3c groups developing specs to develop at the same time explainer docs, which puts features in the context of their expected usage by developers docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Hopefully we can facilitate the adoption of these explainers as seed to future MDN content.
Some groups have also developed dev-focused material that might usefully migrate to MDN github.com/w3c/payment-reque…

We are also looking at bringing more visibility to existing best practices from @w3c_wai and @webi18n from MDN github.com/mdn/pab/issues/1

There are also low hanging fruits in ensuring data about @w3c specs is kept uptodate e.g. via the github.com/w3c/w3c-api - early work toward that at github.com/mdn/kumascript/pu…

And in the longer term, we hope MDN can serve as a conduit to getting more input and contributions from developers to our specs - ultimately for better specs and a better Web.
We are just getting started, but this meeting was a great start!
