**This would allow other locales to easily translate the dashboard while not messing up with the generated content. And obviously, for locales that are fine with using this dashboard in English, that would just work automatically using our l10n fallback mechanism. So, these people would see the descriptions etc in English, but the generated data would be based on their native locale. | **This would allow other locales to easily translate the dashboard while not messing up with the generated content.

* Because the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Weekly+common+issues Weekly Common Issues] list is calculated using a combination of TikiWiki data and web analytics software (in our case Omniture), we need the ability for an external system to "tell" TikiWiki the priority of the KB. Marc Laporte mentioned a tracker db; seems like a fine solution to me. So, a tracker would contain a list of articles in a specific order. | * Because the [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Weekly+common+issues Weekly Common Issues] list is calculated using a combination of TikiWiki data and web analytics software (in our case Omniture), we need the ability for an external system to "tell" TikiWiki the priority of the KB.
