Bob, Jose,
Thank you very much for the update on the plans for MozTW.
It sounds very exciting and I think your goals are very much in line
with the goals of Mozilla worldwide.
I would like to add Asa Dotzler to the discussion. Asa is our
community manager, one of our oldest employees, and also helps to
manage
spreadfirefox.com.
Asa,
Please see the plans that the Taiwan localizers are planning (below.)
Perhaps there is some way we can support these efforts in Taiwan. I
would appreciate your advice.
Thank you.
Gen
