Open issues/risks
`
Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
A web-based editor for product localization.
The current idea is to have a mix of etherpad and koala, with some additional tools to hook into mozilla's l10n infrastructure.
The goal is a source editor that makes it easy to do things right, and hard to get things wrong.
2. Users & use cases
Localizers for Firefox and other projects using the same infrastructure.
Right now, the existing tools are not created to be interoperable, and none fits the bill for everyone. We need a tool that's easy to get started with and doesn't lock you in to use that one tool for the rest of your life.
3. Dependencies
Webdev: We'll need webdev resources, potentially external. Infrastructure: In particular for new contributors, we need low-policy hg repositories (assuming hg for product here) Governance: The idea is to edit hg repositories on the web. Need to figure out how to do that from a policy and security standpoint. Release Engineering: Likely not the initial stage, but we'd like to have a tool to trigger aurora repacks out of this system. For new contributors, this wouldn't be the regular repos, but more like try builds.
4. Requirements
The UI needs to be snappy. Most webtools for l10n suffer from the network lag inbetween minor items of work. There need to be assistive components like compare-locales, local parsers with error reports, strong highlighting. Also MT and TM hooks. The tool should be "easy" to set up independently, to take with you on l10n sprints and the like.
Non-goals
This is a separate tool from other l10n-related tools, in particular, integrating this into elmo is a non-goal. Also, it's not intended to be a form-based editor, or mimick what other popular tools do.
