Just want to note that you specifically mentioned Microsoft working with open source hackers in this comment saying that the ship has long since sailed on Chrome/Google contributing to the open web.
I don't know, never say never I guess. I'm certainly not going to defend Google's track record on openness and privacy -- there have been, under even the most generous of interpretations, huge missteps, and I don't think they deserve the benefit of the doubt -- but they do contribute. Edge backed by Chromium?
- diggan 7y agoI was thinking about a particular announcement where Mozilla announcing that they are working with Microsoft on MDN. Color me surprised when I discovered that also Google is mentioned there! Here is the announcement: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/10/18/mozilla-brings-microsoft-google-w3c-samsung-together-create-cross-browser-documentation-mdn/ https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2017/10/18/mozilla-brings-micr... Reading that announcement makes b1tr0t's statement "We've started to consolidate docs under web.dev" even worse, as they previously said they are gonna contribute to MDN, but now they have turned and use their own shit anyways. Screw you Google.
- b1tr0t 7y agoOur team actively contributes to MDN. Web.dev is not an MDN replacement, it's a channel for guides & other supporting documentation.
- diggan 7y agoJust so understand correctly, you're contributing reference documentation to MDN but then everything else goes into web.dev? Why not contribute the "guides and other supporting documentation" to MDN as well? As I understand, the Product Advisory Board for MDN was created with Mozilla + others in order to combat the fragmentation of information, but your actions seems to do the opposite.
