MDN & APG Integration

[lolaodelola]

Hi folks,

I'd like to add this to the agenda.

I've been in talks with Mozilla about what it'd look like to integrate APG patterns and examples into MDN and would love to feed that back to the group. The headliner is: Mozilla is happy to get this work started, as is Open Web Docs (the main non-Mozilla contributors to MDN) and apart from folks in the APG task force & Meta, I think they're our main stakeholders. Please do say if there's anyone else not involved in APG who should know about and contribute to this work.

However, there are some things to figure out, the current main blocker is where the content should live. The ideal scenario would be if we had a CMS that MDN & APG could consume so we'd only have to update the content in one place, however, I'm unsure of how feasible that is at the moment. MDN is currently going through a platform re-write to make it easier to manage and maintain. Another option, which is a quick win for now, is to copy the content over to MDN, Ruth John (Senior Manager of MDN) has mentioned that they'd be fine maintaining things on their end quite easily but it does add a tiny bit of overhead maintenance-wise.

I'm currently in the process for sourcing funding for this work as well.
