L10n:Firefox web services process: Difference between revisions

The process of choosing the set of web services consists of the dialog with localizers (who suggest their choices), the market research (to help localizers and to validate the suggestions) and the dialog with service provider (to evaluate technical capabilities and inquire for a written permission to use their service in Firefox). Throughout the whole process we use the [[Firefox_web_services_guidelines]] to evaluate the suggestions. These guidelines were created to ensure the best experience from the default web services for the users.

The objective of this step is to gather suggestions from localizers regarding the choice of the default web services for their locale. We work closely with the localizers on validating their suggestions (see: market research) and on looking for new ones. The localizers are our ears and eyes on their local markets and their suggestions are crucial for the whole process.
