Google Summer of Code 2018

Hi,

The coding period of Google Summer of Code is over and final evaluations are being submitted. That means it’s time to have a look at what @pramit and @vishalcr7 have accomplished over summer!

Check it out (note that you won’t be able to sign in):

  1. The new homepage was designed and developed by @pramit. It:
  • pitches Pontoon as the place to localize Mozilla projects,
  • explains the “whys” and “hows” of Localization at Mozilla,
  • has a clear call to action (to start contributing to Mozilla),
  • moves in-context localization demo to a separate page.
  1. The guided tour was designed and developed by @vishalcr7. It’s being linked to from the homepage as a secondary call to action, and consists of two pieces:
  • the actual tour, which shows and explains the translation user interface, and
  • the tutorial project, which demonstrates more details through carefully chosen strings.

We are confident these changes are sending a clearer message about Pontoon and localization at Mozilla to newcomers, so we’re hoping the path to first contribution will now be easier.

Expect to see the work of @pramit and @vishalcr7 on production very soon, so consider this post a final call for feedback. And please join me in congratulating them for their excellent work!
