Do you often need to check browser compat on MDN or caniuse.com?
Do you use tools like browser DevTools or VSCode in your work?
If so, you rely directly on the work that Open Web Docs does and you should consider sponsoring them.
Here is how to convince your boss:

Launching the W3C Docs Community Group
Open Web Docs supports web platform documentation for the benefit of web developers & designers worldwide. We are a community of web developers, standards makers, and technology companies that rely on this documentation as critical digital infrastructure, and we work cooperatively to ensure its long-term success and maintenance.
@openwebdocs is proposing the creation of a new Community Group at W3C: the Docs CG.
Its mission is to ensure that web developers and designers will have the best information available to them, so they can build for the web.
If you're interested in web documentation, either as a publisher or a consumer, please support the creation of this CG at https://www.w3.org/community/groups/proposed/
And, once it's created, please join the group! UPDATE: GROUP CREATED AT https://www.w3.org/community/docs-cg/

W3C Docs CG
As presented at the W3C Breakouts Day last week, we're considering launching a W3C Documentation Community Group. A place for technical writers, specification authors, and web developers to meet and discuss docs with the goal of providing a better understanding of web technologies.
Leave your feedback on the proposed charter: https://github.com/w3c-cg/charter-proposals/pull/1
Thank you @igalia for renewing your Open Web Docs membership and sponsoring us again in 2025! 💜

Amazing new CSRF article on MDN from Open Web Docs https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Attacks/CSRF 👏👏👏
From: @openwebdocs
https://front-end.social/@openwebdocs/114234696584156037
In a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attack, an attacker tricks the user or the browser into making an HTTP request to the target site from a malicious site. The request includes the user's credentials and causes the server to carry out some harmful action, thinking that the user intended it.
