About this document

This document describes the process of choosing the default web services (RSS feed, RSS reader, protocol handlers, search engines) which ship with localized releases of Firefox.

Process

The process of choosing the set of web services consists of the dialog with localizers (who suggest their choices), the market research (to help localizers and to validate the suggestions) and the dialog with service provider (to evaluate technical capabilities and inquire for a written permission to use their service in Firefox). Throughout the whole process we use the Firefox_web_services_guidelines to evaluate the suggestions. These guidelines were created to ensure the best experience from the default web services for the users.

Suggestions

The objective of this step is to gather suggestions from localizers regarding the choice of the default web services for their locale. We work closely with the localizers on validating their suggestions (see: market research) and on looking for new ones. The localizers are our ears and eyes on their local markets and their suggestions are crucial for the whole process.
