I'm curious, why does a team working for Mozilla need to host their blog as a free account on wordpress.com? They really don't have a unified blog system to provide a more official feeling to all their different departments?
Or is this just an unofficial blog from people that is unrelated to Mozilla?
- staktrace 7y agoIn this respect (and probably others) Mozilla is more like a ragtag army of rebels than a uniform-wearing platoon of soldiers. The blog is hosted on WordPress because the person who started it found it most convenient, and it never got migrated anywhere else. We also have hundreds of different github organizations and repos (despite also hosting our own "official" mercurial server), use lots of different communication tools, spread documentation over multiple wikis and bug trackers, etc. But yes, this is an "official" blog from Mozilla employees on the graphics team, of which I too am a member.
- j1elo 7y agoThat's both strange, very confusing, and amazing at the same time :-) It surprised me that Mozilla is able to simultaneously have things like the MDN, basically the best resource for HTML and Web APIs, but then other references or publications scattered around everywhere.
