    • Pascal points out that we should focus on making the transition as painless for localizers as possible
    • Pascal asks for a timeline so that we don't do work on current page for the time when we'll switch
    • Pascal points out that someone will have to takeover what he's doing right now on facilitating l10n community around mozilla.com/org when he steps down from this role
    • Stas says that that webdev team expresses interest in takovering pascal's role then
    • Stas points out that there's more feedback that Bedrock team needs from Pascal so further feedback should happen on the etherpad and on the meeting
  • (stas) what to do with beta locales for 5.0
    • for 5.0 we will not move beta locales to l10n-beta
    • we will not make any significant changes in the way we release Firefox in the 5.0 timescope
    • 20 beta locales
    • Milos did a lot of work over last days and reported that 7 of them can be moved out of beta for 5.0
    • 2 (serbian & bosnian) of these have more than 40k users - we should discuss debetaing them
    • 11 other locales are really small locales with 200-300 users, l10n is complete but they miss website or productization
    • should we ship those 11 or keep them as beta?
  • (stas) should we enable l10n-merge for the release channel (this point can be moved to another meeting)
    • we want to enable l10n-merge on prod
    • release l10n-merged locales on release channel telling the users that it's 100% complete and that there's an opportunity for them to step in
    • Gandalf points out that we need to be prepared for higher volume of newcomers to l10n land if we do that
