Is basically a wiki right? Anyone can contribute? What proportion is written by paid staff and what proportion is written by public contributors?
It seems like it suffers from a free rider problem which isn't at all helped by the lack of focus (and funds) in Mozilla's initiatives. I understand that people are sick of corporate greed, out-of-touch execs, etc but I don't blame Mozilla for deprioritizing it when they literally are running out of money to pay staff (this is a whole other issue in and of itself).
It should be spun out with formalised its goals then go full wikipedia with annual fundraising or donation drives. If this fails they should look to be subsumed under similar non-profit foundations who can afford to maintain it. The free rider problem is not easily solved and if it isn't I expect MDN to decay, there isn't away around this.
