Re: [Contribute] Inquiry about Mozilla Localization

[Behnam Esfahbod ZWNJ]

Hi Mojtaba

Glad to see new blood coming to the Persian team. Welcome to the team.

As Jeff already mentioned, we have a wiki page at
https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Teams:fa . I just updated the wiki page and
you can find enough info there to start. The archives and subscription for
the team mailing list is available at
https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-l10n-fa .

Best,
-Behnam
