1197210 - Allow adding new MDN feature pages

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: BrowserCompat, defect)

Description

[John Whitlock [:jwhitlock]]

What problem would this feature solve?
======================================
Writers continue to document features with new pages.  This requires:

1) Creating a Feature resource
2) Adding an importer FeaturePage
3) Downloading the content to the importer
4) Scraping the page

There are user-facing tools to do steps 3-4, but not 1-2.

Who has this problem?
=====================
Core contributors to MDN

How do you know that the users identified above have this problem?
==================================================================
Thread on dev-mdc:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.mdc/SnLYhbAi0Aw

How are the users identified above solving this problem now?
============================================================
They ask John Whitlock to re-run the tool 'mirror_mdn_features.py'

Do you have any suggestions for solving the problem? Please explain in detail.
==============================================================================
We could periodically run the mirror_mdn_features process to gather new pages.

The importer tool could add an interface for creating a Feature resource and FeaturePage.



Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
