427386 - Web handler updates for Firefox 3+ for Hebrew (he)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: he / Hebrew, defect)

Description

[Mic Berman]

suggested mail handler (mail.walla.co.il) in addition to en-US defaults (tracking bug 413630).
are there any additional suggestions for either mailto or webcal?
can you get me a contact at walla.co.il assuming you still want this provider

Comment 1

[Tomer Cohen :tomer]

I can confirm I suggested them, and have their approval, but I'm not sure if they will implement it on time (I've sent the API documentation and still in negotiations with them).

I'll update on this issue as time goes by. What is our deadline?

Comment 2

[Mic Berman]

we're aiming for updates 3.0.1, however i've also heard that some other service provider may land after then so in mean time +1 month it seems is reasonable

Comment 3

[Mic Berman]

comment #1 can you include their approval or a contact person who gave the approval in the bug, toda

We currently only have webcal handling in the tree (30boxes). Would walla.co.il be an addition to yahoo mail or a replacement?

I don't know too much yahoo!mail users over here (except Tsahi, which is strange person by himself), and still walla.co.il have not implemented it. 

I think we should really wait for Google before we can start considering about removing Yahoo mail handler.

Comment 6

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

I read that as a "we should add yahoo mail now, and figure out what to do with it later"? Then we should do that now. Mind attaching a patch and requesting review on that from me?

Comment 7

[Mic Berman]

i agree with Axel's comment #6, Tomer can you do that for now. (this is our approach in general for all locales for RC1)

Comment 8

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

make sure to bump the handlerVersion when doing the fix, please.

ahhmm

probably the biggest problem with yahoo mail is that their editor doesn't support RTL. still, there are many users of yahoo mail in israel, probably a few thousands out of ~4 million(?) internet users.

[Tsahi Asher]

oh, and Yahoo! CEO who visited israel this week said they have about 4 million users from israel. at least some of them must be using yahoo mail.

Mic - It isn't, but we should. I'm attaching a patch for Yahoo. Next Sunday I'm going to meet walla.com developers in thier office and get them add the required support into their server-side application. 

Are we going to forget from Gmail handler for Firefox 3.0 release?


By the way, I think that mail handlers should implement support for subjects (mailto:[e-mail]?subject=mySubject) as HTML forms with mailto action relay on this.

Comment 13

[Mic Berman]

i believe so about Gmail - I don't think they are ready, we are tracking progress in bug 413630 for that

We can forget from walla.co.il. They won't be ready before 3.0.
