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"....
I'll be presenting at FOSDEM on l20n, the infrastructure that we're hoping to move our localization efforts to. The talk will be in the Mozilla Developers room on Sunday, 13:15. The FOSDEM program might still give a Sunday morning time, that...
I've just run across an interesting suggestion for translating "Smiley" into English. Screenshot of it would be whereas the original (triple-licensed) translation suggestion is on l10n.mozilla.org/narro. Another interesting aspect of crowd...

I've blogged previously on how to set up a staging environment to test the l10n build system, but I didn't go into any detail on how to actually do builds in that set up. That shall be fixed. I'm picking you up at the point where twistd get-pushes -n -t …

I'm contemplating adding search in l10n to the dashboard, and I figured I'd put my thoughts out for lazyweb super-review. Things we might want to search for: Localized strings in a particular locale in all locales going into a particular app...
