Automated localization build tool
Project Name
automated localization tool - This tool should allow that given a locale and a set of changes (unknown how) gives a build of the same language but different region (e.g. en-IN from en-GB)
Project Description
- Learn python
- Understand the scripts from the test l10n tools
- Understand the l10n build system
- Reproduce en-IN from en-GB
- Determine what our Python based system will "do" in 0.1 release
Tool's 0.1 Release Functionality & Features
- Should be able to accept a localization file
- Should be able to accept a Firefox build (eg; en-GB or en-US)
- Stores file's data locally (need to use IO if .txt file (or) XML Parser if it's an .xml file). So this would be taking the key/value pairs and storing them in a Dictionary (Dictionary is the equivalent of a Map in Java)

Project news
There are some common news from the collaborators that should be written here rather than splitting it between the collaborators:
- Sep. 24, 2007 - We are going to have a call conference with Michal from Toronto office
- Oct. 05, 2007 - Python will be our language of choice for this project which is a great opportunity to thoroughly learn it since it will be our first time using it. Determined some main tasks ahead of us before 0.1 release (tasks mentioned in Product Description).
- Oct. 07, 2007 - Added an 0.1 Release Functionality & Features section to the wiki so we have a clear description of what our project's 0.1 release should be able to do.
