Pascal, what do you want me to do here ? You have obsoleted the bug link above. 

Of all the bugs mentioned in http://l10n.mozilla.org/webdashboard/?locale=as
only this bug remains to be updated.

stas, could you answer Amitakhya here? We need to go forward with the productization of this page so as not to block 3.5 in Assamese.

Hi Amitakhya,

This bug is about this page: http://as.www.mozilla.com/as/firefox/central/.

A new Firefox profile includes a link to the "Getting started" page on the Bookmarks toolbar. The objective of this page is to provide the users with a few task-based starting points. They could use them to enjoy the web and discover sites that will help them get the most out of Firefox, and the Internet in general. This page will be aimed towards beginning and intermediate Web users. We want to promote community/user oriented collaborative sites with good user experience in your region and language, and good standards support.

The current en-US defaults for this page are:

The 'Work' category: Google Docs, Remember the Milk, LinkedIn, Clipmarks Add-on
The 'Learn' category: Wikipedia, Topix, HowStuffWorks.com, Answers Add-on
The 'Play' category: YouTube, Hype Machine, Miro, PicLens Add-on
The 'Connect' category: Criagslist, Yelp, Facebook, Shareaholic Add-on 

(See the en-US page at http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/central/.)

We would like to provide a good set of links on this page for our Assamese users. The guidelines for making recommendations are on https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_web_services_guidelines.

Once we have a good list of candidates, you'll have to localize the 'Getting Started' index.html file which can be found here: http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/en-US/firefox/central/index.html?content-type=text%2Fplain&view=co changing the en-US defaults.

The logos should be named sites-<sitename>.png and should be 110px wide and 65px high on white or transparent background. Let me know if I can help with getting the logos from the website owners.

The localized index.html and the logos should be then attached in a ZIP archive to this bug, and a review should be requested from me ([e-mail]) and Pascal ([e-mail]). Once the review have been granted, Pascal will take over to push the localized page on the server.

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have comments or questions. Thanks!

Hello,

I have already translated the getting started page and it is here:

http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/as/firefox/central/index.html?revision=24490&view=markup

Please get back to me if you need anything else.

Amit.

Hi Amit. Great job translating the file. Thanks for pointing me to it in svn. I must have missed it..

I'd like to suggest at least two changes: 

1. change the link to Wikipedia from wikipedia.org to as.wikipedia.org
2. change the Me.Dium add-on link in the "Connect" category to Shareaholic as per bug 478757

Would you like to make any other changes to better suit our Assamese users?

Comment 7

[Amitakhya Phukan]

Hi,

1. You are correct. That would be a better choice.
2. Agreed for the Me.Dium link you said above.

As of now, there are no more changes that come to my mind. If I find anything later on, can we make any changes ?

Comment 8

[Amitakhya Phukan]

Hi,

I am attaching the new index.html file. As told by stas on the IRC, I would like to request pike & pascalc to please do a review.

Comment 9

[Amitakhya Phukan]

Attachment: New index.html for Assamese

Changed the wikipedia link to as.wikipedia link and Me.Dium link to Shareaholic link.

New index.html for Assamese

Hi Amit,

I've run into a couple of problems with the file that you attached. It seems that maybe it wasn't saved correctly, or that the editor that you use broke the PHP code. Can you please see my comments below and fix the errors? Thanks!


><html><head>
><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
></head><body>EXTRA_HEADERS;
>    @include_once "{$config['file_root']}/{$lang}/includes/header-portal-pages.inc.php";
>?&gt;

This is broken PHP. Please see the original file.

>
>				<h4><a href="http://docs.google.com/" class="external"><img src="index_files/a_005.html" alt="Google Docs" height="65" width="110">Google Docs</a></h4>

All the <img/> elements are broken, too. Please see the original file.


>				<h4><a href="https://%3C/?=$lang?%3E.add-ons.mozilla.com/%3C?=$lang?%3E/firefox/addon/1407" class="external"><img src="index_files/a_010.html" alt="Clipmarks Add-on" height="65" width="110">Clipmarks à¦à¦¡-à¦'ন</a></h4>

The "href" here is broken as well. There was some PHP code there that got mingled up. Please see the original file.


>EXTRA_FOOTERS;
>    @include_once "{$config['file_root']}/{$lang}/includes/footer-portal-pages.inc.php";
>?&gt;

Broken PHP again.

Well, I am getting a little confused here. There are three attachments that I see in this bug and the latest one is the broken one. Can you give me the link to the original one so that I can correct the errors properly ?
