hi. here are some guidelines for other suggestions 
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_3/In-Product_Pages#Getting_Started_page

Also for your reference some locales have chosen to include cultural links of importance or interest to users. For example check out bug 428171. 

I will do some research on suggestions and post back. If you have recommendations, please let me know :)

I wonder that all of those tabs (work, learn, play and connect) are necessary or not? like I see in Japanese's central (http://mozilla.jp/firefox/central/) it's no tab, but random selection display instead.

To me, Thai users are expected to see Thai language website on central page. But I'm curious about the criteria of selection web site to put on Mozilla central page. For example,  do remember the milk needs to pay to mozilla for put the link on that page?

For Thai getting start page, put a localised global services like google docs, wikipedia thai (http://th.wikipedia.org), facebook are definitely no issue.

I propose Google Maps Thailand (http://google.co.th) to be a Gumtree's replacement in connect section http://th.www.mozilla.com/th/firefox/central/#feature-connect.

Taking this bug.

Patipat, to anwser your questions:
>I wonder that all of those tabs (work, learn, play and connect) are necessary  or not? 

Yes they are on mozilla.com where we are looking for consistency and maintainability across the many languages hosted.

>To me, Thai users are expected to see Thai language website on central page. But I'm curious about the criteria of selection web site to put on Mozilla central page. For example,  do remember the milk needs to pay to mozilla for put the link on that page?

The links are not sold, we favour indeed websites in the user language, so in Thai for you.

The googgle pas thailand could be a good candidate indeed, any other suggestion?

Comment 13

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

if possible, i'd prefer us to keep the common format we have for all locales for this one since it is already long time overdue ;).

[Keng Susumpow]

Comment 15

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

Keng, do you still intend to update that page with Thai specific links or can I close this bug?

Comment 16

[Keng Susumpow]

Should I provide the patch? How about the logo?

Comment 17

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

yes please provide a patch and attach logos needed to this bug, thanks :)

Comment 18

[Keng Susumpow]

since we're going to firefox 4 should we close this bug as WONTFIX and i'll finalise all the things for firefox 4 instead.

but will this page will be used for firefox 4?

Comment 19

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

The English page is not ready therefore we will use this older version so as to have a fallback solution and not delay the release of Firefox 4 for satellite pages.
