We'll be back in the new year! We've learnt a lot from the previous sessions and can't wait to implement some new ideas. Watch this space.

There's no Ask MDN this week We'll update you when we have a date for the next session! :)

We're aware of some issues with the dashboard. We'll work on fixing it up and introducing some new functionality soon.

Please keep the discussion going on #askmdn if you've got something to talk about or ask re: HTML5 canvas.
