We have three friends of the tree this week: | |||
John Slater nominates Stephen Donner and Pascal Chevrel for Friend of the Tree saying, "Both of them have gone completely above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that the new mozilla.com works properly and will be available to all our worldwide users with the Firefox 3 launch. Stephen has sorted through dozens and dozens of QA bugs for the en-US site and the localized versions, and Pascal has coordinated a massive localization effort that includes mozilla.com, Download Day, Firefox 3 and all its in-product pages, and much more." | |||
Several people wrote in to nominate Deb Richardson for her amazing Firefox 3 Field Guide. Amazing, amazing work. Obviously a labor of love and it really shows. If you haven't seen this blog post, go check it out today! http://www.dria.org/wordpress/archives/2008/06/12/655/ | |||
