To reach the goals of the project, attention will be given to certain issues in each quarter. Although re-prioritisation might cause some changes during the life of the project (like the order of completion), this should provide the basic outline.

This period will focus on making everything required for Mozilla localisation translatable in a single translation format (Gettext PO), and making it easy or unnecessary to have interaction with CVS to obtain translatable files. Work will start on the off-line editor.

• Update the current converters to ensure they work well for all Mozilla products.
• Implement the missing converters to be able to convert all the important files to a translation format.
• Develop tools to do the necessary CVS checkout, generation and / or updating of translation files.

• Project starts by providing a basic multi-format localisation editor based on the existing Translate Toolkit.

This period will focus on the enhancement team functionalities in Pootle and continued work on the editor.

• Enable a usable workflow for providing suggestions, notifying a maintainer and enabling suggestion review
• Enable the delegation of rights and allow proper granularity of permissions

• Implement search and replace functionality

This period will focus on functionality that reduces errors.

• Augment the converters to allow them to distinguish better between translation and configuration strings, and provide useful tips in the translation format to help localisers.

• Spell checking
• Visual highlighting of markup
• Visual highlighting of variables

Continue work to eliminate common translator errors and allow groups prioritise translation work.

Make it possible to set goals and milestones.
