Session description

At the Secure the Web Forward workshop in 2023, writers from Open Web Docs led a discussion about the state of web security docs on MDN. One outcome from this was that OWD would draft an outline for some improved security documentation for MDN, which would be written in 2024.

We've now written up a draft outline and it's had some internal review: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1p1GtjmTd1uQrO2PRb_uUflAfQpEsfs7hBaopYeuoPMM/edit, and we're ready for some more extensive review of the outline before we start writing docs.

We're very keen on finding security experts to collaborate with us on this project, both in these early stages as we scope the project, and for detailed technical review of documents as we write them.

In this session, we'll present the draft outline, discuss any feedback, and next steps, which we hope will be making a start on the documentation!
