Ideas from meeting with David on 1/6/2012: | |||
* Audit all legacy paths in wikis (example: Google ''Mozilla localization'' & you'll find legacy articles in the first 5 hits). | |||
* Create plan to drive traffic to new contribution paths and away from legacy paths. | |||
* Research how to piggy-back Stewards work in progress by other teams (I need a reminder about what this was referencing). | |||
* Research how other teams (e.g., BrowserID) might perform L10n recruiting in tandem with the existing L10n communities, eventually integrating them into the fold. | |||

A: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Localization_Quick_Start_Guide This wiki page] is meant to accomplish just that. It outlines a technical, task-oriented workflow for anyone interested in getting involved to follow. Unfortunately, it can be a bit daunting due to the large amount of information that a new contributor needs to know in order to get involved. I think we could improve in working to simplify the introdctory process. Ultimately, that's what we hope this new guide will help to accomplish. In addition, the World Ready program Stas has recently launched is meant identify potential mentors. As this program progresses we'll find points in the process in which to add a mentor for individual contributors. Currently, Arky is filling the mentor role for new contributors who are starting an entirely new localization. | A: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/Localization_Quick_Start_Guide This wiki page] is meant to accomplish just that.

Our main focus/goal in this next quarter, in terms of engagement, is to increase the size of each L10n community. We're attempting to do that by lowering the bar to entry (through new tools development and clearer doc), creating a mentoring program (like World Ready), and providing a more centralized and clear platform for project tracking and joining the communities (elmo project). | Our main focus/goal in this next quarter, in terms of engagement, is to increase the size of each L10n community.
