MDN comments on MindTouch

Eric Shepherd said of "MindTouch:"

"I like the editor and the ease-of-use of the admin tools. That said, there are weaknesses. The key weakness is that it doesn't scale to truly enormous traffic loads like ours well. We have a good bit of trouble with performance and stability due to the huge load our site puts on the software."

Regarding auto-generated API docs:
"We have a tool that imports certain types of API from javadoc format comments and creates HTML we can inject into our site, but it doesn't automatically update as the headers change over time. We mostly keep the reference and conceptual content separate from one another."

"We encourage community editing and writing. There's simply too much content for a two-person writing team to keep it all up. Plus with such a wide range of content for our site (from basic stuff like HTML and CSS to crazy-complicated stuff like how to add code to the Midas editor that's embedded in the Gecko runtime), there's no way for two writers to learn enough to cover everything without encouraging others to help."
