Notes

New chapters to be written

# Chapter Pages Priority Notes
1 Shared Memory. SharedArrayBuffer, Atomics ? 5 In Nightly. Will ride the train to beta soon. Spec

Other tasks to do

  • asm.js/wasm explanation doc ?
  • Go through Firefox release notes for developers and site compat notes and make sure JS changes are documented properly in the references.
  • Make sure our compat tables are up to date by also going trough bug trackers of other open source browsers (e.g. WebKit, Blink)
  • Write a changelog for Chrome JavaScript releases like we have for Firefox. Same for other browsers/node.js?
  • Meta article about how to document in the JS MDN area.
  • Create a page that explains error messages (v8, Chakra). So that people searching for errors will find guidance.

Tagging standard

  • Pages in the JavaScript/ page tree should at least have the tag "JavaScript".
  • For methods belonging to an object, the name of the Object should be added (e.g. String.fromCharCode should have "String").
  • Methods should have "Method" and properties need a "Property" tag. All prototype members have the "prototype" tag.
  • Features added in a new ECMAScript version have the tags "ECMAScript6" and "ECMAScript 2015" or later versions/years.
  • The Experimental tag should only be used with new features where the standard in not yet finalized (e.g. in a strawman proposal) and the feature is in a Nightly version or behind a preference.
  • Features are Deprecated if their usage is discouraged and are Obsolete if they have been removed from engines.
  • If pages need any type of work, a "Needs*" tag should be added (see above).

<ul>
 <li>asm.js/wasm explanation doc ?</li>
 <li>Go through <a href="/en-US/Firefox/Releases">Firefox release notes for developers</a> and site compat notes and make sure JS changes are documented properly in the references.</li>
 <li>Make sure our compat tables are up to date by also going trough bug trackers of other open source browsers (e.g. WebKit, Blink)</li>
 <li>Write a<a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/New_in_JavaScript#JavaScript_release_notes"> changelog for Chrome JavaScript releases</a> like we have for <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/New_in_JavaScript/Firefox_JavaScript_changelog">Firefox</a>. Same for other browsers/node.js?</li>
 <li>Meta article about how to document in the JS MDN area.</li>
 <li>Create a page that explains <a href="https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/js/src/js.msg">error messages</a> (<a href="https://github.com/v8/v8-git-mirror/blob/master/src/messages.h#L75">v8</a>, <a href="https://github.com/Microsoft/ChakraCore/blob/master/lib/Parser/rterrors.h">Chakra</a>). So that people searching for errors will find guidance.</li>
</ul>

<h3 id="Tagging_standard">Tagging standard</h3>

<ul>
 <li>Pages in the JavaScript/ page tree should at least have the tag "<strong>JavaScript</strong>".</li>
 <li>For methods belonging to an object, the name of the Object should be added (e.g. <code>String.fromCharCode</code> should have "<strong>String</strong>").</li>
 <li>Methods should have "<strong>Method</strong>" and properties need a "<strong>Property</strong>" tag. All prototype members have the "<strong>prototype</strong>" tag.</li>
 <li>Features added in a new ECMAScript version have the tags "<strong>ECMAScript6</strong>" and "<strong>ECMAScript 2015</strong>" or later versions/years.</li>
 <li>The <strong>Experimental</strong> tag should only be used with new features where the standard in not yet finalized (e.g. in a strawman proposal) and the feature is in a Nightly version or behind a preference.</li>
 <li>Features are <strong>Deprecated</strong> if their usage is discouraged and are <strong>Obsolete</strong> if they have been removed from engines.</li>
 <li>If pages need any type of work, a "<strong>Needs*</strong>" tag should be added (see above).</li>
</ul>
