A decade of writing at Mozilla

Thanks for the pointer. I'm just starting to toy with the idea of shifting focus towards technical writing, and never would've thought of contributing to MDN (though I've referenced it often enough, of course). I'll give it a look once registration opens back up.

Can you recommend any other resources that've helped you along the way?

Everything you need is available in the meta-documentation[0] and on project-specific DocStatus pages (for example, the one for the Glossary[1] and the more general one for the Learning Area[2]). Also, as a corollary to what Sheppy says in the other reply to your post, ping on #mdn, people are there to help you.

Finally, you can join on the bi-weekly meeting on IRC [3]

For what it's worth, if anyone wants to open an MDN account to contribute (whether to fix a typo or document a new API), you can ping any of the admin types in irc.mozilla.org #mdn, and we can help you get an account set up.
