Mozilla l10n priorities in 2017

[Jeff Beatty]

Hi everyone,

For anyone not following our blog or twitter account, I've published this
new blog post with descriptions of this year's l10n priorities and an
update on 2017 l10n workshops (formerly known as "hackathons"). If you have
any questions about the information, feel free to reply here or comment on
the blog post. Thanks for all you do!

Hi Jeff.

Is there some plan to support smaller local hackathons too, if we would
want to make a "private" one?

Hi Michal,

We've emphasized to the Mozilla Reps that we need their support for such
events. They've asked us to commit to establishing criteria for evaluating
a local l10n hackathon for an individual community, including timeframe,
possible goals/agenda, etc. and we're preparing to provide them with that
set of criteria. Since we expect attendees of these workshops to return to
their communities and share the trainings and updates to the rest of their
communities, we're expecting that the Reps will be supportive.

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for sharing, it's an interesting update.

Out of curiosity, is there a link/info to learn more about the performance
issues the JS implementation of l20n had in the context of Firefox?

With regards to workshops, according to the schedule I see some teams that
already got together 2.5 months ago are planned to get together again in
2.5 months time. Are the dates definitive or subject to change?

Keep well,
Julen.

Hi Julen,

Pike and Gandalf would be able to pull up specific bugs.

The dates, unfortunately, are firm. With larger workshops, more time is
required to make all of the necessary arrangements.

Thanks,
Jeff

There's a few, but in the end, one thing that has hurt us was to call
into DOM APIs of many XUL elements.

Reflecting a single XUL element into JS is quite a bit of computing work
due to XBL and CSS binding that XBL, so that turned out to be hard.

We probably fix this problem by creating an API that let's us set
attributes and textContent of a list of elements with one call.
