Action Items
Project updates
Firefox Desktop
Firefox Mobile
Firefox OS (B2G)
- figured out a good plan for the localization story releng-wise, i.e. where do we keep the localization files, what user scenarios we want to cover etc
- working on extending the httpd.js addon included in Gaia if you run DEBUG=1 make to look for localization files in multiple places so that it's easier to just drop in an hg clone somewhere and test Gaia by being able to refresh the apps
- blogged about l12y testing: http://www.informationisart.com/13/
- meeting with Pete Scanlon this Thursday to talk about engagement plans for B2G/FOS.

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!)
