After getting some feedback on my previous post about search engines in Fennec, I made slight modifications to the suggested guidelines. The main difference is the inclusion of a social search category. The social aspect is a powerful and appealing part of the mobile context (see Madhava’s Mobile User is Mobile presentation) and we are excited to experiment with this concept in the initial release by adding social search to the interface.
Here is the updated version of the search guidelines for Fennec:
5 standard search engines:
You should choose only 1 search engine in each of the following categories.
Testing is an important step in the process of making a new localization ready for its debut as a final locale. It’s also a great way of improving the quality of localization when the locale is still in the beta status, as well as after it’s been published as final, for example prior to the release of a new version. In this post I’ll try to quickly explain how to test a beta localization of Firefox 3.5. (You can successfully use same instructions to test 3.6+ builds, if you wish. Just be sure to choose the right test run.)
Abstract: Help us improve the l10n documentation by participating in creating a complete inventory of our documentation resources at Delicious. All you need to do is to bookmark any page with useful l10n documentation content at Delicious and tag it with “for:mozdocs”. That’s all it takes!
This quarter, the l10n drivers team has set out on a mission to improve the current localization documentation experience. The ensemble of the l10n documentation consists of a rather formidable number of resources (wiki documents, articles, blog posts, graphics, etc.). With time, some of them have unfortunately become out-of-date, and one of our objectives is to update our documentation to reflect the changes that took place to our processes, practices, policies, guidelines, tools and infrastructure (like, remove references to CVS in documents about starting new localizations).
