Localization tools are a pity. The Hebrew localizers switched from one tool to the other, and attached a patch to bug 373436, +1190/-818 lines for toolkit alone. Given that toolkit ‘only’ has some 2000 strings, that’s a pretty big diff. I wrote a diff tool that ignores all the formatting and ordering, and oops. The [...]

We have a few new localization teams putting a whole lot of effort in getting their languages up and running. For those, the l10n server is creating language packs right now, and as always, they can use as many eyes as possible. The right welcome for Runa, Rajesh and Timothy is a Mozilla welcome, so [...]

I have written about the incubator before, it’s a tool that should help localizations newly in CVS to work towards release. It’s based on buildbot, and I whacked it pretty hard recently. The result can be seen on the l10n server again. What’s new? Incubator is now L10n Trunk, I’m running my tools on all [...]

There are a few changes in our language support that came with Firefox 2.0.0.4. We have officially released Afrikaans and Belarusian. Congratulations to both teams. If you know someone that should or could use those versions and doesn’t, please point them at the download page, as those links aren’t that easy to find otherwise. We [...]

LinuxTag 2007 was interesting, in fact, more interesting than I anticipated. I cherry-picked a few talks from the program on Friday and Saturday. Crowding effects: How money influences open source projects and its contributors, by Matthias Stürmer. I already blogged about this one a bit. The slides are up by now. Matthias is organizing the [...]

I listened to a talk by Matthias Stürmer on crowding out effects in communities by monetary incentives. Gonna be interesting to have Seth and Matthias look at the Mozilla Community giving program. The good news is, I feel that we’re on the right track here from what I heard so far.
