492604 - [es-CL] The "Getting Started" page for Spanish (Chile)

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Mozilla Localizations :: es-CL / Spanish (Chile), defect)

Description

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

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 Spanish (Chile) users.

First, the localization team and Stas (Stas Malolepszy) will look at the market for your language and come up with a good candidates. Emilio, we'll need your input on this, of course. The guidelines for making recommendations are on https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox_web_services_guidelines.

Second, once we have a good list of candidates, your localization team will 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 default as agreed in the first step.

The logos should be named sites-<sitename>.png and should be 110px wide and 65px high on white or transparent background. Stas can help on 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 Stas ([e-mail]) and Pascal ([e-mail]). Once the review have been granted, Pascal will take over to push the localized page on the server.

Thank you.

I could suggest Bligoo (http://www.bligoo.com), a popular, chilean-based blogging and social networking service, for the 'Connect' category.

First step:
 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, Lastfm.es, Miro, PicLens Add-on
 The 'Connect' category: Craigslist (looking for a similar alternative), Yelp (looking for a similar alternative), Facebook, Bligoo, Shareaholic Add-on

Seems like a very reasonable suggestion.  Emilio, can you provide any references to local usage statistics that might help us confirm the popularity of the site?  Also, we'll need to contact them to make sure they are OK with us using them on the Getting Started page.  Can you find the contact information and pass it along to Stas at [e-mail]?  Stas will do the outreach to Bligoo.

My latest suggestions:

- Needish: A free marketplace for everyone who needs something (helps, products, services...) > http://www.needish.com/ / Alexa Rank #496 in Chile  
- Initt: A chilean-focused news aggregator (like Topix) > http://www.initt.com / Alexa Rank # 4778 in Chile
- FayerWayer: News about Technology and trends, FayerWayer is one of the most visited weblogs in Chile > http://www.fayerwayer.com / Alexa Rank #761 in Chile / 1.866.012 visits and 3.513.936 pageviews (Source: Betazeta.com - May 2009)	

Sccond and definitive list:
 The 'Work' category: Google Docs, Remember the Milk, LinkedIn, Clipmarks
Add-on
 The 'Learn' category: Wikipedia, Initt (instead of Topix), FayerWayer (instead of HowStuffWorks.com), Answers Add-on
 The 'Play' category: YouTube, Lastfm.es, Miro, PicLens Add-on
 The 'Connect' category: Craigslist, Needish (instead of Yelp), Facebook, Bligoo, Shareaholic Add-on

needish.com seems to have a problem with our latest nightlies, I filed bug #498360 about it

initt and fayermayer look like good options, can you provide and updated page with initt, Fayermayer and needish included? If bug #498360 is not on our side, we will use Yelp instead. Thanks

The page is updated with the logo

https://es-cl.www-trunk.stage.mozilla.com/es-CL/firefox/central/#feature-learn

There isn't enough vertical space to display facebook though, maybe you can shorten the texts on the learn section to give some space to facebook?
