[ANNOUNCE] Firefox 4 and Firefox Mobile (Fennec) 4 getting ready on l10n-central.
Hi, this is a call out for all localizers who have been waiting for Firefox 4 (desktop and mobile) to get stable. Stable we are, at least as stable as it gets. Strings are frozen for both applications, up to nits around the current betas, update 7 for desktop, update 2 for mobile. As you probably seen from posts on planet and elsewhere, Firefox 4 and in particular Gecko 2 carries a ton of really cool stuff. But not all is going as planned, so we're throwing plans away and do new ones. * We're not going to make any plans depending on the 2.0 branch * That branch is going to come, but not in time. Thus, we're going to get our localizations in shape to ship on l10n-central, now. When we branch, we'll branch, and do our best to make that as little pain as we can. For that, we'll help you now to get a proper setup. Not only for now, but also such that we'll know enough about your setup that once we branch for 2.0, we can help you quickly then. The team of helpers here is me, stas, and gandalf. Please try to reach us on the irc channel #l10n, with your favorite client or via the http interface mibbit, https://www.mibbit.com/?url=irc://irc.mozilla.org/l10n. In our experience, mail is insufficient. We'll experiment with facebook and twitter, though. Contact details below. Preparation work you can do: - For windows folks, update your MozillaBuild, https://developer.mozilla.org/En/Developer_Guide/Build_Instructions/Windows_Prerequisites#MozillaBuild - All other platforms, get a current version of Mercurial. 1.6.x is current, independent of what your distro says ;-) The executive summary is: - your localization work is on l10n-central/ab-CD. If you're not already working there, please ask for help. - en-US strings are in mozilla-central, and mobile-browser for mobile. If that's too quick for you, that's cool. Please drop by and get your own guide, it's gonna be rather straight forward if we walk you through from scratch. Debugging things that went wrong is a cumbersome experience for all of us. If you're a community member that would like to help, please drop a mail to the three of us and Seth. We'll welcome your help gladly, but we would like to bootstrap you with the plan before you jump in. Thanks, and see you online Axel PS: Contact details: irc: Pike, stas, gandalf, on #l10n. Please use the channel so that we can distribute the load. This is the preferred channel. twitter: axelhecht, 5tas, zbraniecki fb: http://www.facebook.com/axel.hecht, http://www.facebook.com/stasm, http://www.facebook.com/zbraniecki

Firefox OS 1.4 branched: 1.4: releases/gaia-l10n/v1_4, 2.0: /gaia-l10n
Hi, I've just branched the 1.4 efforts for Firefox OS. The /gaia-l10n repos you worked on for the past 12 weeks are now aiming at Firefox OS 2.0, for at least 6 weeks. Your work and fixes for 1.4 shall go to /releases/gaia-l10n/v1_4/. I've migrated your work for 1.4 onto those repositories, unless you're petercg or civas, you guys landed stuff on those repos, you'll figure it out. If you've pushed in the past hour, I might not have it. I'll follow up when I have pushed the update to en-US. Axel .... and I just pushed 2.0 to /gaia-l10n/en-US....
Firefox OS 1.4 branched
Hi, first of all, I'd love to get feedback. I'm sending posts about Firefox OS on a regular basis, but I don't see them making an impact on the translation state. Feedback? Send that my way. Anywho. The gaia code branched for 1.4 this Monday. For you guys, it means that all the developers want to work on 1.5, and stop changing strings on 1.4. That's not string freeze, that's March 28. But it's close. We need to see traction in /gaia-l10n/*. Like, I'm freakin out because I don't see traction. Picture Monty Python's dead parrot. http:/...

I am disappointed that Mozilla feels compelled to go down the same road as MS and Google regarding their interface. The 'Ribbon' is a thing best left to MS since they like messing up a good product, and I tried Chrome for about 10 minutes and then dropped it because I disliked the interface, not user friendly.
