Locale expansion for Firefox OS
- Proposed by
- delphine
- Overview
- Think of other places for l10n to become (more) active: where could we make a difference? Where should we start expanding? Where does it make sense to be? Where should we be but aren't yet? Build on that to add more localizations, to have sprints in these places, to create/rebuild/empower existing l10n communities in these areas, etc. This concerns places that we are not at all in, or also places where we are but could extend.
Question: do we actually have time and resources to focus on other areas than the requests we get for market interests? :/ It's hard but shouldn't we do that if we want to move from a model where market dictates our work to having healthy localizations and communitise in areas where it makes sense?

Status of style guide & terminology resources
- Proposed by
- Rajesh Ranjan
- Overview
A translator needs few fundamental linguistic resources among which standard terminology and style guide are very important while translating any software or documentation. A free and open source project FUEL is working with the open source language communities and several organizations to create and make these resources available for localizers under free license. In context with the efforts, would like to present the transparent and inclusive work-flow and current status of the available resources under the project. Also would like to collect feedback for the improvement.

Firefox: Firefox > Firefox Tiles > Firefox Accounts > Firefox Hello Standalone App. 2. Firefox OS: Gaia, Firefox Marketplace.)?
