User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; zh-TW; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; zh-TW; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 As many can see, zh-TW is now a pending locale. Here's the current situation of the zh-TW locale: For over 6 months, Hung-Te Lin (aka "piaip") has been conscripted (or more specifically, impressed, because of the laws in Taiwan). This almost leaves him no time at all. Recently the MozillaTaiwan community has been discussing about the locale owner issue, mainly about Firefox and Thunderbird, which suffered from the fact that noone is working on locales of the new version. I was willing to help, so they suggested that I should apply for the locale owner of Firefox. So here I am, I filed this bug for reporting this situation and applying for the Firefox zh-TW locale owner. Product: Firefox Lang code: zh-TW Name: Shuan-Jung Lee (aka "kourge") Mail address: kourge@gmail.com The site for the zh-TW Firefox community will still be moztw.org. Reproducible: Always
Change the summary to "Registration of Traditional Chinese (zh-TW) localization of Firefox" ?
Summary: Firefox zh-TW locale owner → change locale owner: Firefox Traditional Chinese (zh-TW)
Is Hung-Te Lin going to be a browser/mail/toolkit peer or he is leaving the l10n work at all? In the second case you need to apply for a CVS account. We need also some note from Hung-Te Lin that this is OK for him.
Status: UNCONFIRMED → NEW
Ever confirmed: true
OS: Windows XP → All
Hardware: PC → All
As for the peer, we still can't contact Hung-Te Lin so we're not sure, but we hope he don't need a role change, it's just that he's conscripted, and after that, he can do the localization again. Actually in the last few months we did try to mail him (and tried to phone him, even), but with no replies. We'll still try to contact him, but to catch up with Firefox 1.1, it might be necessary to change the locale owner if we still can't contact him in two weeks.
CCing piaip, just to make this go the right way. As gandalf indicated on the newsgroup, I suggest promoting kourge to a peer with CVS access for the intermediate time.

To be able to commit your Firefox 1.1 files you need a CVS account. So you should fill a new bug and attach your ssh public key [2], send the form [3] and attach/link your Firefox 1.1 files in CVS structure form [4,5] - see bug 259079 as an example. 1] http://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Localization_Teams 2] http://www.mozilla.org/cvs-ssh-faq.html#s2 3] http://www.mozilla.org/hacking/form.html 4] http://lxr.mozilla.org/l10n/source/ 5] http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox:1.1_Localization
Well, I'm here again. Sorry for the delay, too many things got changed. Can someone hint me some url/post or the schedule of Firefox 1.1 and Thunderbird, and any summary of things changed?
piaip, that leaves the question, how should be proceed with kourge's offer to help? Getting some patches makes life easier in general, not sure if he needs CVS access, or if he should have CVS access as check-in buddy. Much of this depends on how things changed for you.

Thanks. Currently I use a centralized management system to integrate localized glossaries for all Mozilla products. And I can still get patches from community independently. So I want to keep CVS commit permission privileged to prevent unexpected inconsistency. BTW I've started checking zh-TW locales into CVS (trunk). Who should I contact to modify http://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Firefox_1.1.x_Status, or should I do it in wikiway - by myself ? And for thunderbird, on http://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Thunderbird_1.1.x_Status there are already several locales in CVS, are they using same registeration of Firefox (just add the mail/ directory in /l10n/aa-BB?) or should I file a bug or send to anyone?

It's a wiki and IIRC you are th locale owner anyways, so just go on and add yourself. As long as everyone adds reasonable things there (and doesn't e.g. changes around owners without approval or messes up other stuff), it's easiest if people change entries themselves. And yes, thunderbird is just adding it directories in the same locale directory in CVS. As I think it's clear that you'll own also that one, just feel free to add the appropriate entry in the wiki (and the files in CVS) :)
Resolving WORKSFORME. kourge, as you can read in #9, your help is appreciated.
