Locale expansion for Firefox OS (scheduled)

Proposed by
delphine
Overview
Think of other places for l10n to become (more) active: where could we make a difference? Where should we start expanding? Where does it make sense to be? Where should we be but aren't yet? Build on that to add more localizations, to have sprints in these places, to create/rebuild/empower existing l10n communities in these areas, etc. This concerns places that we are not at all in, or also places where we are but could extend.

Question: do we actually have time and resources to focus on other areas than the requests we get for market interests? :/ It's hard but shouldn't we do that if we want to move from a model where market dictates our work to having healthy localizations and communitise in areas where it makes sense?

Participants
Michael Bauer, gandalf, kscanne, SoumyaC

In context with the efforts, would like to present the transparent and inclusive work-flow and current status of the available resources under the project. Also would like to collect feedback for the improvement.
