482526 - [es-MX] Firefox 3.5 RSS reader setup for Spanish (Mexico)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: es-MX / Spanish (Mexico), defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

RSS readers are web services allowing users to subscribe to RSS feeds online and view them. If Firefox detects a feed, it offers the user to subscribe to it, either as a live bookmark or via one of the web services.

The current RSS Readers in en-US are Bloglines, My Yahoo, Google.

We want to ship a good set of defaults for Spanish (Mexico), and will work towards that in three stages.

First, the localization team and Stas (Stas Malolepszy) will look at the market for the language and come up with a good candidates. Ricardo, we'll need your input on this, the guidelines for making recommendations are on http://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_web_services_guidelines. After we decided on a particular RSS reader, Stas will contact the owner and ask for permission. undefined, we'll likely need your help to at least get the contact information.

Once we have a specification on what the set of RSS readers for Spanish (Mexico) should look like, the localization team and Stas will work on an implementation on that. This should happen by the localization team creating and attaching patches for the desired changes, and requesting review from Stas. After a successful review, the localization team will land them. If you're not feeling comfortable with creating those changes, ask Stas to help out.

Please don't commit any modifications in l10n/es-MX/browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties to the cvs repository without a patch reviewed by Stas, Axel or someone else appointed by Stas/SethB. The data here is sensitive to users and our search partners, thus the extra care here.

The same that in the es-US, will be possible to change the order?
-Google
-My Yahoo
-Bloglines

I've taken a look in MXR at region.properties file and see that the order is listed as

-Bloglines
-Mi Yahoo
-Google

http://mxr.mozilla.org/l10n-mozilla1.9.1/source/es-MX/browser/chrome/browser-region/region.properties

I don't see any notes in there that say we cannot shift the order, but what is the rationale?  Based on popularity?  Keep in mind that before choosing the reader application, users are prompted to select one of the three.  I am wondering if oreder really matters.  

Thoughts?

No, the order doesn't matter really, instead, maybe we can order the items in ascendent order, only to be more formal.

Just spoke to Kev Needham (Mozilla Business Development team) and he informed me that order doesn't really matter.  Users who are using web-based RSS readers typically will select the one they are familiar with.  We can order them as you see fit or leave them as they are now.  To keep it simple, I say just leave them as is.

Sounds good. Closing the bug as per comment 4.
