String Freeze and 1.0b4 Schedule
Hello Folks,
Following the Thunderbird Schedule, the Mozilla Calendar Project is now officially string frozen. I have already announced preliminary string freeze, but since then a lot has happened on the branching landscape which caused some trouble in calendar land.
The following information is mainly for localizers, but also gives some details on the upcoming release.
Note that the tree has changed, to match for Thunderbird. Instead of l10n-central, for your locale to be part of Lightning 1.0b4 you must push to the new l10n-miramar repository. Thanks to Mark for his hard work on getting things set up.
Deadline
The final deadline for calendar l10n matches the Thunderbird deadline of June 7th. Since for Lightning there is not much difference between the nightly and release builds, we will not be providing extra beta builds. Translated extensions are available on a nightly basis (sorry, no build-on-push yet!).
Dashboard
The dashboard is at https://l10n-stage-sj.mozilla.org/dashboard/?tree=calendar10x. 25 locales are already green, congrats!

How do new (to Calendar) localisations get on the release train?

Hi Mark,
so all you need to do is translate the strings, push them to the calendar/ subdirectory of your locale and then file a bug (in Calendar/Build Config) to get added to all-locales. See bug 635739 for an example. When its added our builders will produce nightly l10n builds you can use to make sure everything runs as expected. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
