As some of you have already noticed through Firefox Desktop snippets, Mozilla Activate newsletter and social media, this week we have launched a community campaign to get a boost in contributions for the languages we have at least 1M sentences.
We have launched efforts in English, German, French and Spanish.
So far we are seeing a huge increase in contributions, so much that our server was a bit overloaded on Monday
Please keep an eye on new recordings and please flag any trends you are seeing.
This is a quick report on numbers in the last 7 days to illustrate impact:

I absolutely agree, wee need more visible information. It took me a few weeks of reading and trial and error until I understood how this project works.
Thanks for this link, this is really valuable, and I agree on some of the pain point mentioned. Letâs keep creating a list with all the feedback and see how we can turn it into recommendations for product.
