 === Bookmarks ===
-The general strategy is one of consistency: take the en_US bookmarks, provide localized versions of the same sites where available, otherwise get approval to replace them with appropriate local equivalents.  Requested bookmarks should be useful to a wide audience, and should not be political or religious in nature.
+For Firefox 2, we have substantially overhauled the list of bookmarks, with the goal of having fewer links to portal pages with better information.
-* (P1) The "Firefox Start Page" bookmark must match the start page URL (above).
+The en-US bookmarks.html has been updated, and all of the bookmarks use the now-standard localizable URL format.
-* (P1) All locales must include a "Bookmark Addons..." link ({{bug|343023}}).
-* (P3) In general, locales should not have more bookmarks than are found in en_US.
+Owners should follow this process for localizing bookmarks:
+* Copy the en-US bookmark file into the locale directory
+* Change the locale in the URLs (ie, replace "en-US" with the locale identifier)
+* Translate the titles into the local language
+It has been suggested that "About Mozilla" is better than "About Us" in some locales.  As always, we will trust your judgment about which is best in your situation.
+l10n teams will have the opportunity to provide localized versions of the web content.  These pages would be the appropriate place to put links to the l10n community site for end-user support, getting involved, etc.
