  • Anything's slipping, but localizers are catching up.

• • Wow.
  • latest state available at: http://l10n.mozilla.org/~buildmaster/beta1status.html

1) Track the decisions, changes and current state. https://intranet.mozilla.org/L10n_Webservices_Contacts_by_Locale

2) File a set of bugs against each locale starting with Tier 1 and 2 locales listed here: http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox3/ Firefox_Requirements#Locale_Support

3) Complete the research to validate current decisions in every locale. (E.g In Russia mail.ru has moved up significantly in terms of user adoption therefore discussing if it should be included might be good. etc.)

4) Work with the localizer community to finalize and implement decisions

5) Ensure all issues, bugs are resolved in time for Firefox 3 shipping.

can we create a succinct policy or set of policies that better defines what we mean by good web services e.g., good search options for each category of search we're after (we've got a first draft of this from the work on the slovenian bug - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375198), RSS feeds (in Hindi bug most recently is a good example of this lack of clarity coming through https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384408), webcal, webmail, RSS reader, etc.

used BBC as a way to introduce the fact that could have RS feed on bookmark toolbar; only work every done; deliquent to customize to fit towards target audience; until we do work to change that feature from demonstration to a more useful tool not allowing any changes; only change it if BBC is not offered in their language need to do work to improve feature for all users - research to figure out how want to change that like other partners to provide a feed that meets more of the demographic of en-US users
