Hi,
just a quick status update. With PTO, decade and whatnot, finding a good
timeslot to do a bootstrap hacking session was hard.
Given that Portlandia is close, let's do that there?

Hi,
you'd think that after years of talk and prototypes, I'd have more than
an empty repo, but no. https://github.com/aisle-moz/moz.aisle.
You can hack Javascript, and you localize Mozilla projects? You're eager
to get your hands dirty and go through "interesting" phases of a
project? Do you think it could hardly get any worse anyway? Let me know.
What are we building?
We're building an editor that works for Localization. More so, we're
building an Integrated Localization Environment. ILE. Aisle.
The project is going to be a set of Javascript modules, extending
Cloud9. Give that a spin at https://c9.io/ to find yourself around.
We're going to build workflows, and generally try to make anything quick
that you need while working on an open source translation. We'll be
doing keyboard navigation, parsers, error checks, commit helpers, TM, MT.
Why? Source code and version control are of great utility to build great
software. But that's hard. But it doesn't have to be. Getting the
localization contributors close to the thing that they need to build
will enable us to be better, faster, less confusing.
Where do we start? https://wiki.mozilla.org/Aisle is the start,
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Aisle/Design has slightly more detail. I have
two different proofs of concept, but those are also good things to throw
away.
If you're interested, please add yourself to
https://aisle.etherpad.mozilla.org/contributors. Quick intro would be
nice, too.
We'll probably start with a vidyo call, and soon follow that up with a
co-hacking session.
