Details

(Whiteboard: [ar, ca, cs, da, de, eu, fa, fi, fr, ga-IE, he, hu, id, is, ja, ja-JP-mac, lt, nn-NO, pa-IN, pl, pt-BR, ru, sk, sq, sv-SE, te, tr, vi, zh-CN, zh-TW])

We're planning to add Mibbit as a default irc:// and ircs:// protocols handler in 3.1. Bug 435687 is about the implementation in en-US. Once this is done, we will be able to add it for all other localization that will want it with Axel's scripting magic. Mibbit is currently localized into French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Portuguese (Brazil), but our recommendation would be to add it to your locale even if it's not supported right now by Mibbit. It will serve well as a demonstration of this kind of protocol handler and it will be useful for users familiar with English. We do a similar thing with 30boxes, our en-US webcal: protocol handler. We ship with it in almost all locales even though it's available only in English. If you would like to have Mibbit added in your locale, please update the whiteboard in this bug with your locale's code. If you know of another IRC web-based client available for your locale that you would like to include, please file a new bug under "Mozilla Localizations > {your locale}" with the following summary: "[{your locale's code}] Add {service name} to the default IRC protocol handlers." Thanks!

In es-ES, the 30boxes webcal: handler exists but is not set as default handler (Always ask is the default value, I think), giving other applications the opportunity to show up when installed. Would it happen the same way with Mibbit? Specifically, I wonder what would be the effect of installing ChatZilla if Mibbit is set as default web handler. Would Mibbit stay as handler? Would ChatZilla sit itself as default handler? Or would Firefox prompt the user to decide? IMHO, the third option would be the best one (not just for irc:, of course).
pl wants Mibbit, too. :)

The second (becomes default handler) occurs and it becomes very difficult for one without knowledge of how the browser works to change that, as it becomes an internal handler to the code.
Turkish (tr) added.

Please add es-ES for the momment. Just for testing
Removing [it] and [nb-NO] from the status whiteboard, as these have already landed. I'm giving a post-factum r+ for these, but please don't land other locales just yet. We will mass-add Mibbit soon.

Is there any particular reason why these landings have not happened on l10n-central as well? Are we free to port the changeset into out l10n-central repositories?
