Project updates
Firefox Desktop
Firefox Mobile
Firefox OS (B2G)
- changes to the schedule are likely to happen, more details to follow
- b2g/gaia work week in MV this week, stas is attending
Mozilla.org
- Working on porting firefox/new page from PHP to bedrock, this will probably be a 2/3 weeks work because we also need to port the download box logic to bedrock
- l10n is now a priority on the site for webdev too thanks to the pressure myself and Anthony put on the whole team
- New simpler processes are being put in place thanks to Anthony too (we may have a dedicated staging server just for l10n for example)
- Please look into these task for improving discoverability of our localized products https://l10n.etherpad.mozilla.org/12 I can't see this document
AMO
MDN
- Telefonica is investigating putting internal resources on translating B2G/HTML5 pages in Spanish and Portuguese. It may be an intern working on that, I suggested that he should focus on helping build a community of localizers instead of just translating
SUMO
Identity
- Last two releases of Persona brought many new & fuzzy strings (~ 50%). There are three reasons for this:
- renaming BrowserID to Persona
- a general string proofreading by copywriters
- adding main website (https://persona.org) to the list of items we localize
- Anyway: 4 days atfer we prepared strings for the last release, 1/3 of the teams are at 100% (yay!)
QA
Other engagement projects
- Facebook tab for olympics event to go live this week (9 locales)
- Survey for Jane Finette needs 4 additional strings for surveygizmo UI, will work on that today
- Firefox Brand survey for Jesse Montano done by agencies to be reviewed today and also published this week
Labs
Infrastructure
- Pontoon is looking for a pilot project (hooray!!!)
Tools / L20n
Grow Mozilla
- Nailing down SOP specifics for inquiries through Get Involved page. So far, we've identified Verbatim and SUMO as good areas for newcomers to contribute and pass through a "trial period". Both of these have the PM framework to allow us to see an individual's actual l10n contributions, thus we can use it to track the activity status of the newcomer and identify milestones that he/she would reach to move beyond the "trial period".
Other
- Working with Creative/Branding to create a better icon for L10n, Can be used for swag, Twitter feed, and theme matching for ELMO.
- Continuing discussion with community about Twitter feed. Good discussion. Be sure to jump in if you have an opinion (Pascal, your opinion would be very valuable).
