I've been talking with Seth today on how we can answer questions about the status of l10n. My grumpy argument was that I wouldn't know how to make graphs over time actually show progress, instead of just "failure". I had two naive graphs, one is...
We intend to move from components per locale in the "Mozilla Localizations" product to a matrix of products per locale, and components for each of Firefox, Thunderbird, et al. I've created an add-on to set up the products and components and laid...
I heard there was interest to join the l20n discussions, so I'll do an "even more public" invitation to tomorrow's l20n call. We're going to have that call on conference bridge 206 at 11 am CET, standard mozilla conference call details. Blame...
It's been a while, but I'll take a stab at what we did to localize Lorentz, i.e., how did we add strings to a stable branch? The underlying principle was add-on compatibility, that is, language packs that are out there and compatible with 3.6.*...
I wasn't all happy with how django helped me in coding the try-talos visualization, so I recreated this based on node.js. The result is a single project on github, talos-node, that just requires you to get a local install of node.js. It will...

I've started to hack on the bcp47 patch, and as I add complexity to the chrome registry code path, I'll actually need to look at performance results. Being a good citizen, I'll start with try-server builds. TBH, the prospect of having to do that...
I just kicked of the public discussion on the l20n source file format in the localization 2.0 google group. This is supposed to be the first of a series of discussion guiding us to a specification and a plan on how to implement it. Why a google...
The project tree for Lorentz is winding down at various places, and the l10n dashboards make no difference. The l10n builds off of the projects/firefox-lorentz project tree named "lorentz" have been stopped, and the sign-offs are closed....
I've released a new version of compare-locales, and you should really update. The new version of compare-locales adds: support for more than one filter.py support for filter.py returning more than just bools, but "error", "report", or "ignore"....
