[ANNOUNCE] Firefox 3.1 Beta

[Axel Hecht]

Hi all,

I'd like to emphasize a bit on the progress on Firefox 3.1 from today's
meeting.

The biggest take away would be that there may well be just one beta.

The string freeze for that beta is going to be Thursday/Friday
25th/26th, that is, two weeks from now.

We had a bunch of changes come in in the last week, so the max of
missing strings is now at 76.

What we'd love you to do right now is to start poking your localizations
on hg ASAP. We need to figure out if you're running on technical road
blocks well before the beta, so now is the time to make sure you're set up.

Build reports are on http://l10n.mozilla.org/dashboard/ (goes down for a
few minutes now), and bsmedberg's builds report to
http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=Mozilla-l10n and your
corresponding tinderbox, and get uploaded to
http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central-l10n/
. These builds get started when you push your changes to hg.m.o, and
should be ready in terms of minutes, so this is one of the few things to
enjoy already in the chaged world.

http://developer.mozilla.org/En/L10n_on_Mercurial should get you up to
speed, I just added a tools section.

If you run into problems, please ask for help in this group, on #l10n or
on #hg.

I'd love to call for some volunteers to mentor other localizers, too. So
if you're feeling comfortable with hg and have some cycles, please
follow up on this thread and offer your help?

Thanks

Axel

Hi Axel,

I am just wondering if the sl move to hg is on your radar
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449853).

Seeing as time is getting tight and strings need to be done, I would
certainly appreciate a mentor one we are set up.

I can offer some help, mainly on Linux.

Mike Shaver has just said at dev-planning that there will be a Beta 2.
