Generic info about the project

"Mozilla is a community, and you are a vital part of it.
With the Community Survey Program, we're creating a knowledge base about our communities, learning about your opinions, feelings, and ideas."
http://blog.mozilla.com/communitysurveys/

Mozilla Foundation, mainly through its European branch, is exploring one of its best values: the communities.
The first steps look like they're watching especially local communities, which makes Caminol10n peculiar, as "glocal" as we are.
However, if you take part in a local Mozilla-related community as I do (and as I think anyone here should, where available), I encourage you to take the survey (http://surveys.mozilla-europe.org/?id=1#takeit - I can't say for how many languages it's localized) and to comment here as well, with any development ideas and suggestions you have for our community.
Thank you.

The discussion about this started on the Camino l10n mailing list and Marcello asked me to write down my thoughts on this.
http://www.mozdev.org/pipermail/caminol10n/2007-June/002111.html

Currently it seems to me as Marcello collects all the localized data and repacks them into a Multilingual package based on the English one, which has been automatically created by Tinderbox (according to this article: http://wiki.caminobrowser.org/Status_Meetings:2006-10-11:Agenda)
In this article Marcello mentioned the thought putting all localization data in Camino's cvs.
From my point of view this will do some improvements:

• ability to automatically build a Camino Release, in English and Multilingual
• easier management of translations: if completed they can be moved (automatically?) into the release branch
• easier way of file management for translators

An interesting discussion is coming out of Bug 384406.
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384406

Markus asks what are the obstacles keeping us from getting into the main releases of Camino (those with only one language - en_US).
The comments point to other places where this has been discussed before and try to give some answers, while keeping the door open for future improvements.

Feel free to comment also here about the subject.
