A localized official build means that: | |||
# Mozilla creates minor updates from CVS together with the en-US minor releases. [[L10n:Localization Process End#Minor Updates|More...]] | |||
# Major upgrades, i.e., the shift from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3, is done through contributions of the localization teams. [[L10n:Localization Process End#Major Upgrades|More...]] | |||
# The local team strengthens and enlarges the community. [[L10n:Localization Process End#Community Building|More...]] | |||

2- Your team should aspire to a "full-skills team". Meaning all the [[L10n:Building_blocks| building blocks]] for supporting your localization. Mozilla is working to develop more ways to support you to develop your building blocks. Check out [http://blog.mozilla.com/seth/2007/06/04/support-update-3/ Seth's blog] to hear more about our ideas. We've recently invested more [http://jtbatson.blogspot.com/2007/06/welcome-rishi.html resources] to better support your community development efforts. If you feel your team is need of this type of support please [mailto:l10n-drivers@mozilla.org email] us. We are also working to determine how to assess the "health" of a localization team and how we could better support them to develop their team or their skills. | |||
