1226673 - [gn] Firefox News reader setup for Guarani

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: gn / Guarani, defect)

Description

[Jeff Beatty [:gueroJeff]]

News readers are web services allowing users to subscribe to RSS/ATOM feeds online and view them. If Firefox detects a feed, it offers the user the option to subscribe to it, either as a live bookmark or via one of the web services.

The current News Reader in en-US is My Yahoo!.

We want to ship a good set of defaults for Guarani and will do that in three stages.

First, the localization team and flod (Francesco Lodolo) will look at the market for the language and come up with good candidates. Huber, we'll need your input on this. The guidelines for making recommendations are on <https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Firefox/Productization>. After we decide on a particular news reader, flod will contact the owner and ask for permission. Huber, we'll likely need your help to at least get the contact information.

Once we have a specification on what the set of news readers for Guarani should look like, flod will work on an implementation for that. flod will create and attach patches for the desired changes and request a review. After a successful review, flod team will land them. If you're interested, you can provide those patches too and request a review from flod before landing.

Please don't commit any modifications in browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties to the hg repository without a patch reviewed by flod, Stas, Axel or someone else appointed by flod/Stas. The data here is sensitive to users and our search partners, thus requiring the extra care here.

The Guarani team will be driving this bug to completion.

Hi everybody! News Readers are not frequently used by the people here. There is still no Newspapers or a lot of Websites in Guarani. I think, the one you choose will be ok. I hope, we could still change the default News Readers when the market grows up.

Thanks Huber. When that happens, feel free to file a bug to request any changes. 

Flod: Are the newsreaders in the es-AR localization different from en-US? If so, it would likely be appropriate to use those than than the en-US.

es-AR is currently using My Yahoo (bottom of the page)

I usually add NetVibes to the list when I set up new locales, since it can potentially be localized
