(Crossposting this to both dev-l10n-web and dev-l10n.)
We've been working lately on bringing you the other special projects
which will accompany the upcoming launch of Firefox 4. I just wanted
to post a quick update.
Let me tell you briefly about other special projects that I will be
posting about in seprate threads in dev-l10n-web today and over the
weekend.
Desktop
=======
For the release of Firefox 4 for desktop, we're planning the following
microwebsites:
- Twitter Party, a real-time mosaic of tweets tagged with 'fx4' (~40
strings),
- Global Map, a new stats page that will replace [1] (you might
remember Jeff posting about this one earlier) (~25 strings),
[1] https://www.mozilla.com/firefox/stats/
- Facebook Badges page on Firefox's FB page where people can share
Firefox badges on their walls (~15 strings).
As you can see, all of these projects have minimal copy. We will set
them up on Verbatim and you will have 10 days to take care of the
localization.
The due date is March 14th.
Mobile
======
For Firefox 4 for mobile, we're planning to launch a social game that
consists in sharing a download link, unlocking badges and leveling up
:) The game is called Firefox Spark. It's a bigger project (~500
strings, but short!), and consequently, the due date for translations
will be in almost 3 weeks from now, on March 21st. I'll be posting
about it in more detail today.
Launched or almost launching
============================
As you all probably know, the Web O'Wonder website launched yesterday
and has been a big success. 23 locales in total participated and 5-6
more will be added next week. Congrats on your hard work, which made
this possible. The demo studio is doing great, too, and will probably
see a launch sometime next week.
Again, more updates will follow soon, so stay tuned!
Thanks,
-stas
