Elmo is l.m.o, which is l10n.mozilla.org.

Elmo serves two audiences. Localizers want to know which tasks there are to work on. Product wants to know which localizations are in good shape to ship, and which need care.

Elmo does this by aggregating data from a few different data source, including bugzilla. It also shows data created solely for it.

The automation infrastructure to create this data is dubbed a10n. It's currently a buildbot installation, but it's migrating off of that towards a queue-based setup. The automation is crucial to the success of shipping in dozens of languages, thus it's important to keep it up, and its data consistent.
