We'll need a good point to migrate the content in cvs for th over to an hg repository beneath http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/

Please follow up to this bug when you think you're ready, setting the status whiteboard to a timestamp you'd consider good.

Please don't land content in hg yourself before the initial migration is done, we want to make sure that the initial content in hg maps a cvs tag so that we can fix up hg annotate on the website to refer to cvs blame at one point.
Hi Thai Team, 

Just an important update:

Code freeze for Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 is in about two weeks from now, with string
freeze coming next week Friday (September 26). We'd love you to be part of that
release, so for that, we should migrate your cvs content over as soon as
possible.

Currently, there are some good 80 strings to be localized from FF 3.0 to FF 3.1
beta 1 pre, which should be doable.

We know that you're likely going to get valuable feedback on the upcoming
Firefox 3.0.2 (beta release) for Thai, but that's still not ready to release
from the code side, so waiting for that in probably not feasible.

Once we have copied your work over from cvs to hg, you'll need to decide which
patches to land on which tree, and land as planned separately.  This is some
additional work for you, but nevertheless, making Firefox 3.1 Beta 1 will help
your release of Firefox 3.1 a good deal.  Does that seem clear?  If not, please
ask.

We do expect to have one more FF 3.1 beta cycle after FF B1, but only one, so
making B1 is a really good idea.

Please let us know what you think.  We'd like you to move to Hg and that should
happen pretty soon if possible.

Kind regards,

Seth,

It sounds ok to me.
Isriya, 

Thanks!  Pike will probably migrate this over today or tomorrow.

The initial push is done, http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/th/pushloghtml.
I'll add Thai to the build in bug 455731, and trigger initial builds. You
can follow http://developer.mozilla.org/En/L10n_on_Mercurial and
work on a clone of the th repo pulled via ssh or http. You'll push your changes
as described on
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/Mercurial_FAQ#How_do_I_check_stuff_in.3f

Axel,

So Thai team can start working on Hg from now on, am I correct?
More precisely, for Firefox 3.0.x, you'll continue to work on CVS, with the tree rules that I posted to the shipping bug 443373.
For Firefox 3.1, you can now start to work on hg, with an open tree until we run into the Beta 1 code freeze. Just changes to search and region.properties need a rationale, bugs, patches, and only land after successful review.

As soon as I add th to the 3.1 build, the dashboard will show two results for th, one for fx30x (3.0.x) and one for fx31x (3.1 Beta 1 pre right now).
