Website CMS

Overview

Mozilla staff from the US, EU and Japan met during the Firefox Summit to discuss and plan for the development of a content management system that could serve as the front end for localizers to more easily participate in web site updates.

Goals

• Have both in-product pages and marketing web pages accessible for localization via a CMS so that the barrier to participation is lower for less technical localization volunteers

Current Issues

• SVN access
• User accounts for: leaders, localizers, proofreaders

Requirements

• Publish same page for all languages with one click
• Publish files outside of language subdirectory
• Push live request enabled within CMS
• Push live an entire language set
• Ability to edit pages in-browser
• RSS feeds of changes to pages/keep informed of changes
• Wiki capability for bug edits
• Visual view of changes
• Ability to easily share changes made in master file with localizers
• Ability to email all active members from within CMS
• Dynamic news/announcements
• Blog posting capability - Wiki syntax/HTML both supported
• Image manager
• LDAP logins
• Simplified front end for Bugzilla as a solution for tracking change requests (would require integration with Bugzilla Japan)
