Pascal

planned for this week:

• Keep on working on Whatsnew / snippets / facebook / state of mozilla / surveys
• Ubuntu party this week end: booth + conferences + l10n and support workshops

done last week:

• Worked on State of Mozilla l10n, about 10 locales ready for initial launch
• Worked on Whatsnew l10n for Firefox 17, we don't have any webdev implementation, I gave strings to localizers in their whatsnew.lang file based on screenshots...
• Worked on about:home snippets for both State of Mozilla and Social API campaign
• Added a json/jsonp api on webdashboard/langchecker to output all translations for a string, this is essentially for the snippets service (I don't know if it will be used, but at least it will be there and it is potentially useful on the long term)
• Fixed with webdev several bedrock bugs related to 110n, worked on specifying my RFE for per locale pushes of webpages (to be able for me and Milos to push a translation for a page from a flag in a .lang file instead of filing an IT/webdev request)
• Worked on survey 4 for pfinch, only one locale missing (Indonesian), I pinged 8 people from our Indonesia l10n and reps communities, none answered. I will look for new Indonesian localizers after Firefox 17 is done since this locale is now systematically requested for marketing projects.
• Usual maintenance on other projects

Pike

planned for this week:

done last week:

• hacking in aisle poc for c9
• reviews
• support stas with gaia/b2g
