586312 - [hy-AM] The "Getting Started" page for Armenian

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Mozilla Localizations :: hy-AM / Armenian, 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 Armenian users.

First, the localization team and Stas (Stas Malolepszy) will look at the market for your language and come up with a good candidates. Armen, we'll need your input on this, of course. The guidelines for making recommendations are on <https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Firefox/Productization>.

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.

The URL does not match the categories you mention.
Is there another URL you wanted to paste?

the correct reference URL is http://www.mozilla.com/en-GB/firefox/central/

Comment 3

[Armen [:armenzg]]

Shall we close this bug?

Comment 4

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Why would we? There's nothing done so far to fix this, AFAICT?

Comment 5

[Armen [:armenzg]]

I had not seen activity and wasn't sure if it was still valid.

Are the requirements still the same. The page looks completely different than originally described.

Comment 6

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Not that I know about this stuff, but I think the reference we use is at http://viewvc.svn.mozilla.org/vc/projects/mozilla.com/trunk/en-GB/firefox/central/ these days. Milos and Pascal would know for real.

Comment 7

[Milos Dinic [:Milos]]

This is still valid, but not as important as it used to be. Pascal and I agreed that this page should be blocking only really big locales, and is optional for other locales. That said, it would be nice if we could have that page translated sometime in future.

Pascal, can you please confirm this?

Comment 8

[Pascal Chevrel:pascalc (PTO until April 26)]

I confirm, we will probably create at some point in the future a shorter version of the page for smaller locales.

Comment 9

[Axel Hecht [:Pike]]

Removing the blocker status to bug 586304 then.

Comment 10

[Milos Dinic [:Milos]]

This page is long gone, and we don't serve it any more. There's a new page though, that's rather big - features page. As it can be hard to maintain this page, we don't ask all our localization teams to deal with it, but only those who have the manpower for that.

That said, I'm resolving WORKSFORME this bug, and if you want to translate the Features page, even though you're not required to, please let me know and I'll open a new bug for you.

Thanks!
