To follow up on #371 (comment) and following comments -- I think we should consider replacing the links to Can I use with links to MDN. It seems like a number of the newer caniuse tables are (based on the IDs) powered by MDN data underneath anyway, and it seems like MDN provides more depth of information.

Thoughts?

Given how much more detail MDN provides, this sounds like a net improvement to me. On a quick glance through those few entries with non-null ciuName fields, I see straightforward replacements for most of them:

WebMIDI is an exception, as there is no parent article, so we'll probably want to support linking to multiple pages:

Client hints is another exception, as we have a compatibility table per header, all on different pages: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers#Client_hints

So maybe this needs to be an array of links instead of just a single link per entry.

It's also not clear to me that we'd want to link specifically to the Browser compatibility table rather than linking to the MDN article as a whole (which in turn has a browser compatibility table).

An array of links to resources on compatibility seems fine. I am ambivalent on article vs. table - if the goal is to provide information on compatibility, then the table is probably OK.

(As Adam has done most of the legwork, I'm OK with doing some replacements, but I would be happy leaving caniuse links in place for older items and having MDN as the target for newer ones.)

@dbaron
Add a way to show links to MDN, and show them for a number of specs.
c395f89 
This fixes part of mozilla#375.  It does the following:

 * adds an mdnUrl field to activities.json, using @adamroach's list in
   mozilla#375 (comment)
   which can either be a string or an array of strings (like mozBugUrl)

 * adds a way to show the MDN icon in the "More Info" column (which I
   commit as an asset rather than picking a glyphicon, and use via CSS
   mask).

 * adds code to validate the new field in activities.py (matching
   mozBugUrl)

 * adds an `mdnUrl` field to `activities.json`, using @adamroach's list in
   mozilla#375 (comment)
   which can either be a string or an array of strings (like `mozBugUrl`)

 * adds a way to show the MDN icon in the "More Info" column (which I
   commit as an asset rather than picking a glyphicon, and use via CSS
   mask).

 * adds code to validate the new field in activities.py (matching
   `mozBugUrl`)

 * adds code to add the new field for the `add` verb in `activities.py`

I suppose we should add an MDN field to the issue template, and maybe remove the caniuse field?
