[ANNOUNCE] Next Calendar release (Lightning and Sunbird) is imminent - Please update your localizations

[Simon Paquet]

Dear Calendar localizers,

as most of you know we've been in string freeze for quite some time but
have lagged behind on the code development side. A few days ago, the last
remaining blocker bug was fixed, so it's time to get something out to the
masses.

Most of our locales are already looking fine, but some have still some
way to go. This is the current status so far:

Green (32)
==========
ca, cs, de, es-AR, es-ES, et, fr, fy-NL, ga-IE, gl, he, hu, id, is, it,
ja, ja-JP-mac, ka, ko, lt, nb-NO, nl, nn-NO, pl, pt-BR, pt-PT, ro, sk,
ta-LK, tr, vi, zh-CN

Red (6)
=======
eu, mk, sl, sv-SE, uk, zh-TW

Red on Windows (3)
==================
da, pa-IN, si

Orange (1)
==========
ru

Those locales, which are not in the green category would have to do the
following to become part of our next release:

- Orange:
You just need to remove the few obsolete strings in your localization

- Red on Windows:
The variables in the Windows installer files are outdated here. You'll
need to update them. Just follow your own example in the Firefox or
Thunderbird installer files or read [1] where I talked about this a
while ago regarding the same problem in Thunderbird space.

- Red:
You'll need to translate the remaining missing strings. Please also
pay attention to your l10n tinderbox, so that the installer problem
doesn't hurt you as well.

I'll give you another full week to get your locales in shape. I'll open
up a corresponding opt-in thread shortly.

Thanks
Simon

What are the chances of getting Bug 528506 (In the SeaMonkey Default
Theme Account Central pane, the icon in the "create new calendar" row is
misaligned.) reviewed, approved, and checked in in time for Lightning 1.0?

Should I set the blocking-calendar1.0? or wanted-calendar1.0? flags?

Also for Bug 518736 (Preferences button in Add-on window error - looking
for preferences.xul) which of the two different approaches would the
Lightning peers prefer:

1. One line of fancy javascript to choose between the Thunderbird
Options window or the SeaMonkey Preferences window.

2. A new standalone Preference window for Lighting that reuses the
(relevant) existing prefpane overlays from Sunbird.
