485047 - [ta] RSS Sample feed for Tamil

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: ta / Tamil, defect)

Description

[Staś Małolepszy :stas]

Our goal for including an RSS feed in the live bookmark is to demonstrate dynamic, changing and relevant content. We would suggest you choose something your users are interested in and that is locally relevant. By default this is the same as en-US, which is BBC news.

Felix, do you have any suggestions?

The implementation is done via a change of the redirect on mozilla.com, and is a server-side change only.

Hi Felix,

Have you been able to make any progress on determining an RSS feed for the Tamil (India) version of Firefox?  Please let us know since we are quickly approaching the release of Firefox 3.5.  Finalizing this decision will help move your version from beta to official status.  

Please let us know what you think.  Thanks!

I suggest any one of the following URLs can be used:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/tamil/index.xml (BBC tamil pages's RSS feed)
http://news.google.co.in/news?ned=ta_in&hl=ta&topic=h&num=3&output=rss (Google news in tamil)
