You can directly support Mozilla Developer Network (MDN)
I use MDN almost every day, but had no idea that it was possible to directly support them. I just found out about two ways:
- Sponsor for $ a month: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/payments/
- Buy Merch: https://shop.spreadshirt.com/mdn-store/
- gtirloni 6y agoThey fired the MDN team of technical writers. What is this funding exactly?
- julianlam 6y ago> What does the money go towards? > The money collected through MDN (minus processing fees, taxes, etc.) will be reinvested back into MDN. We will publish a monthly report on MDN Web Docs showing what work was completed. > What will MDN user funding pay for? > Currently, Mozilla pays for site operations and overhead (including staff writers and web developers). MDN user payments will fund accelerating current projects or launching new ones, including: Adding more content, and updating current content, Improving performance of the site, Modernizing the MDN platform, Adding offline access to MDN, Supporting integrations with popular developer tools, More tutorials and guides, Training and webinars
- gtirloni 6y agoIn light of the recent news, that means very little.
- dflock 6y agoThey're still hosting & running it, and I think Chris Mills is still there?
- julianlam 6y agoHm, I'd like to donate, but their subscription page is 404 right now... https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/payments/management/ https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/payments/management/
- dflock 6y agoYeah, doesn't look like that works any more, sadly. The merch store does, though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
- dflock 6y agoApparently the sponsorship thing doesn't work anymore, but it looks like the merch store does.
- thevagrant 6y agoSeems like Mozilla didn't do enough to publicise this option at the time it was made available. At least Wikipedia put an in your face notice when doing a funding drive. It might annoy people but it is effective.
