Drivers and staff at mozilla want to enhance and improve communication
and coordination of general Mozilla development and release work,  and
the work happening on the Mozilla Localization Project.  The goals of
this effort are to:

     * Raise visibility of key International and Localization bug fixing
       and feature needs early in the development cycle.
     * Provide an easy path to get these key fixes into releases
       wherever, and whenever, possible.
     * Enable language packs to be created, and shipped simultaneous with
       the initial release of all major milestones.
     * Provide a mechanism to get language packs on the CD distributed by
       the Mozilla Foundation.

We also want to organize efforts to get localization kits migrated to
the Mozilla CVS repository, but this may be more of an incremental and
longer term task that involves more work in the 1.7 and future
milestones.   We want to get started on goals listed above for the
upcoming 1.6 release.  To accomplish these goals we are doing the
following things.

     * We have created and posted a more detailed
       http://mozilla.org/roadmap/release-status.html with events and
       dates listed for the release cycle, and including dates for things
       like localization freezes, and cut off dates for collecting
       language packs for shipping on the CD, etc.
     * We would also like to schedule quarterly conference calls where we
       can discuss critical I18n and L10n bugs that need to be on the
       radar for drivers in the current and future release cycles, and to
       get rough planning estimates on then language packs will be,
       prepared, tested, and available to ship on the CD.  We plan to
       have the first of these meetings on  Monday Dec. 15, 2003.  To
       accommodate more timezones will will have 2 calls.  One at 8:00 AM
       PST, and another at 4:00 PM PST and will also will connect to #mlp
       on IRC during these calls.

Call in numbers for these first meetings are:

Localization Project Conference Call


In the future we will attempt to set up toll free numbers, but this is
all we could do for now.

Hope to talk to as many of you as possible at the upcoming meetings, and
that we will be successful in helping you to continue your great work to
make Mozilla available in 98+ languages.

Thanks
