Meeting Details

Meeting Notes

Firefox 4 beta outreach and feedback process, is there a coordination between the two groups?
- Gandalf's answer is that it is somewhat random, but he will outreach to them
Branching discussion is still on
Should we do l10n-merge with all builds, regardless of what are the most user-facing features
We are placing locale forums on certain web pages to bring new contributors
- Pascal is really leading this
QA might need to start thinking from scratch on what we might need to test for L10n
- Should we advise that we test the most user-facing features and create a test plan that is not just a set of functionality test in Litmus
To-do app is on the goal list, Pike asks why? Stas to provide an email with all the dependencies necessary
Firefox Home
- Looking at the l10n now and possibly hooking it up to Verbatim

Firefox 3.6.7/3.5.11 release

improved subtitlling support to the firstrun video (like moving subtitles when there is text below to read)
fx4beta: now working on feedback page and survey
started working on August snippets
more cleanup on mozilla.com, updated almost all old pages to the latest templates (preparatory cleanup work for a major redesign of the site for Fx4). Repo is now down to 1/3 the size it was last month
put a locale detection class on svn as reference with a demo http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/granary/libs/
