No, it wouldn't! I don't want yet another corp running MDN who might have their own agendas, or will be just as susceptible to reorgs and layoffs.
It would be great if Microsoft, Google, and Apple funded Mozilla to maintain and improve MDN. I like the idea of a "neutral" third party looking after MDN.
- giancarlostoro 6y agoThat is the alternative I'd also be glad to see, I only mention GitHub because it seems to be their goal to fund and maintain open source projects that are vital, like NPM, in this case MDN is definitely vital. Although I'd expect if anybody were to buy out MDN that they create a foundation for it and donate to that foundation in an effort to make it as independent as possible. I guess MDN can someday stand for MDN Developer Network if we're lucky.
