The team is smaller, but the site exists and isn&amp;#x27;t going away. We will be working with partners and community members to find the right ways to move it forward given our new structure at Mozilla.&amp;quot; [0]&lt;p&gt;There are tech writers from Google and Microsoft that contribute full-time to MDN. (And it&amp;#x27;s a wiki, after all, anyone can edit it!)&lt;p&gt;But yes, very sadly, the Mozilla tech writers that maintain the docs, maintain them, and keep those browser compat tables running so smooth... were part of the layoffs.&lt;p&gt;You can be sure that the site will find a new home if Mozilla defunds it further. It certainly won&amp;#x27;t drop off the web.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;twitter.com&amp;#x2F;MozDevNet&amp;#x2F;status&amp;#x2F;1293647529268006912&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;twitter.com&amp;#x2F;MozDevNet&amp;#x2F;status&amp;#x2F;1293647529268006912&lt;/a&gt;</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>goldenManatee</author><text>This is mind blowing. Those docs are the gold standard for creating so much of the web. Does their management understand the gravitas (that word is warranted here) of what it means to lay-off parts of the team in charge of setting, keeping, and raising the bar for creating so much of the internet? This is truly alarming and saddening that some MBA exec who’s in the role because they’re “a people person” and “get tech” is deciding the fate of creating for the internet.</text></comment>
