L10n:Official Localized Releases
END
An official build/(ongoing support) or a language pack (see description above)
Official build means that:
1- Minor updates, etc (Mozilla Corporation does this) Localizer - Initializer request and collaborate to complete Mozilla
- approve change requests (led by Axel)
- code/string/catch up approved by Axel
- branding by Mic
- web pages by Pascal
2- The localizer team may not have a full-skills team e.g., Marketing/PR TO DO: we need to determine how to better support them in this situation (Asa/Seth leading this)
3- Major updates done by Localizer
- could lose locales here which is a Bad outcome, this is due to loss of community people or lack of clear communication
The situation where we need to pull a locale from official ship status occurs when the localizer team is incapable of doing the next major update, these are our suggested options are: There is an option where the localizer doesn't meet the final deadline for official release in which case:
- next release/delay on being official build status
Mozilla we need to help them on community development and clearly communicate release schedule, etc. we need to know early the shape of the team for the release Localizers communicate their ongoing level of commitment
4-Mozilla supports testing
TO DO: get more transparent on our requirements and the process
- definitive tests, etc.
