This directory contains the tools and content for the MDN Web Docs for Contributors site, also known as the meta documentation. While MDN documents the web platform, this site documents MDN itself.
If you want to document an MDN tool or process, use this site generator and its content (found in this repository's /meta/content/en/
directory). If you want to document a web platform technology, see MDN Web Docs for Contributors instead.
Before you author or develop this site, you need:
- A clone of the mdn/content repository
