[Mozilla] Fwd: [Bug 603949] New: [ca] Firefox 4.0 productization review for Catalan

[Toni Hermoso Pulido]

Hola gent,

ara és hora, si s'escaigués, de fer canvis,

En un principi tindríem per al Firefox 4 com a motors de cerca (ja vam
parlar-ne fa unes quantes setmanes):
* Google
* Bing
* Huubs
* Diec2
* Wikipedia-ca
* Llibres

Com a altres possible canvis, m'adono que a:
http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n/l10n-src-verification/file/6fe5a14bf7c5/reference/browser/2.0/ca/region.properties
tenim en correu Yahoo. Malauradament, que jo sàpiga, Yahoo! no té el
servei en català. Si trobeu bé, posaríem Gmail com a primer i caldria
pensar en un segon popular si existeix. Algú en sap cap altre? Si no
m'equivoco, segurament tindríem al Hotmail com a opció.

Salut,

As you might have seen in the newsgroups or on the Mozilla blog, there's a
couple of changes to search engines planned for the 4.0 release for en-US:
<http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.l10n/msg/81073d8d67e1c4c3>. We
would like to use this opportunity to review the current productization
setup
for Catalan and make any changes that you think will be good for our users.

What is a productization review?
================================

Here's what we're interested in:
* search engines,
* protocol handlers,
* feed readers,
* live bookmark.
You can see what your locale currently ships with at
<http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n/l10n-src-verification/file/default/reference/browser/2.0/ca>

Please take a moment and review the choice of services available by
default in
your locale. If there have been any new services that have recently gained
popularity and that offer good value for the users, please suggest
adding them
to your locale. On the other hand, if there are services that lost
credibility
(e.g. display too many adds) or have poor user experience, consider
suggesting
that we remove them. If in doubt, feel free to make a suggestion and
we'll look
at it together. You might find the guidelines at
<https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Productization> and
<https://wiki.mozilla.org/L10n:Firefox/Productization> helpful, too.

Required changes
================

There's two things I would like to draw your attention to (if applicable):

1) if you have a google.xml file in your `searchplugins` directory, please
remove it,

2) Bloglines is closing down on November 1st and we need to remove it
from the
feed reader options for all locales (see bug 595485). We suspect that it
will
make sense to move Google Reader up to the first position (if your
locale has
it). We will be offering technical help with this change, either in form of
ready-made patches or a mass-landing by one of the l10n-drivers. If you
don't
think that moving Google Reader up is a good idea for your locale,
please let
us know!

Changes in en-US and en-GB
==========================

Here's the changes that we will be making in en-US and en-GB:
* add Bing as the 3rd general search engine (see bug 603298),
* remove Answers,
* remove Creative Commons.

We're making these changes in en-US and en-GB because we feel that they
follow
the recent market trends and user preferences in the US and the UK. We would
like to go through the same thought process for your locale and see if
any of
these changes would make sense in Catalan builds as well. If you decide that
implementing these changes would be in your users' best interest then
please go
ahead and include them in the patch you'll attach to this bug.


Implementation
==============

Please make suggestions for changes and attach patches that Seth, Axel or I
will review. Please note that since Bing provides a global plugin which does
the locale detection itself, you will only need to add "bing" to your
list.txt
if you decide to include it. The XML file will be automatically pulled from
en-US.

Once a review is granted, you can land the patch on l10n-central if your
locale
actively maintains it. Otherwise, please wait for further instructions which
will be put in the comments of this bug and announced in mozilla.dev.l10n
(we're still unsure when the branching will happen). Please do not land any
changes except for the required ones (google.xml, Bloglines) on 1.9.2.

If you do not wish to make any changes, let us know, and we'll only work on
removing Bloglines.

Thanks!
