Comment 1

[Mic Berman]

Hello,
I noticed that all the local search engine plug-ins seem to have disappeared
from the recent build. Was that on purpose? For example the ones I had listed
in 1.5 that seem to be gone from 1.8 are: Atlas and Dunaj.
Any insights into this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
mic

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=314442 has discussion about approvals for 1.5

Do we have ToS review, approval, and contact info on file for Atlas, Dunaj, and Zoznam?

Pavel, are Zoznam and Seznam related? I just wonder if we should investigate suggest support from Zoznam, too.

Radovan, Branislav, can you help out to get contact data and terms of use? Or a mail from the contact, preferably in English, for Mic that they're fine with us shipping search plugins for their site?

Comment 6

[Branislav Rozbora (Mozilla.sk)]

Hi, requested contants for Zoznam, Atlas and Dunaj are:

ATLAS.SK – mr. Kalas – [e-mail]
ZOZNAM.SK – mr. Debnar – [e-mail]
DUNAJ.SK – mr. Oleksa – [e-mail]

I had a phone call with contact persons today, they are waiting for your e-mails.

P.S. could you add me as CC when sending them email? 
Thx.

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Branislav, I wouldn't know of a formal request on the e-mails sent, so to speed up timezone issues (it's Friday, after all), I guess you could just mail them yourself and CC Mic.
The statement we would like to have is some English text that they're aware of a searchplugin in Firefox pointing to their site and that they're fine with it. Both in terms of traffic and in terms of us exposing their brand name and artwork in the Firefox UI.

Mic may have further questions and ideas for the future, but that's independent of  the search plugin itself.

[Branislav Rozbora (Mozilla.sk)]

I have just send emails to all of them, we are waiting for response.

Comment 9

[Branislav Rozbora (Mozilla.sk)]

Zoznam, Atlas and Dunaj confirmed to send their statements soon. Are still changes available? Maybe better choise instead of Dunaj.sk would be Hej.sk.

And what about adding another one? If possible we want to add webstranky.sk searchplugin (searching for free domain names in slovakia) If we are allowed to do those changes, we will add new bug.

I'm not convinced that this is a good idea to do now. If you think that's a good idea, let's investigate that for Firefox 3.

Doesn't convince me, at least not what I see on alexa.com (alexaholic is down). Seems that both are on the edge of Alexa's radar, so there may be a factor of two between them, or just noise.

I don't think that domain name lookups are of a general user value, we shouldn't add that one. Too geeky, and of too little frequent use.

[Branislav Rozbora (Mozilla.sk)]

You should have all requested statements now. Is it OK now and can this bug be closed?

Comment 14

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Mic, do you have new stuff in your inbox here?

Comment 15

[Mic Berman]

Hi
BD has received an OK for www.dunaj.sk and Soznam was in 1.5; so BD is good to go and Axel please close this bug unless there are engineering issues
thanks

FIXED, please check on a nightly and a fresh profile, that all plugins work as expected and mark VERIFIED.
