 __NOTOC__
-L20n is the code name for a localization architecture taking existing approaches one step further. The name stands for l10n 2. The architecture is laid out with Mozilla applications in mind, but should be applicable to other areas as well.
+L20n (L10n x 2) is the code name for a localization architecture taking existing approaches to L10n one step further. No matter who you are (e.g., localizer, tool author, developer, or release manager), you'll be able to find information suited to your L20n-related needs here.
-There are several localization-related communities out there, and thus there are different target audiences for docs on l10n (and l20n). In the order of appearance in the lifecycle of some code, that would be
+We've broken up the content into three distinct tracks that discuss the current design for L20n, how teams and localizers can easily transition into using L20n, and its future development. These color-coded tracks point to wiki pages, blog articles, and newsgroups where you can learn more about L20n and even get involved in the discussion.
-# software authors (coders)
-# UI localizers
-# content localizers
-# localization tool authors
-Expect to see the level of complexity involved grow for each level of audience. Software authors should need only very limited knowledge about any particular language, localizers should need to know only the language they translate into well, localization tool authors should understand the variation of complexity coming with different languages.
-The color-coded tracks below divide up the topics surrounding L20n, pointing to wiki pages, blog articles, and newsgroups where you can learn more about L20n and even get involved in the discussion.
