Webdashboard will be shut down on April 23

Hi Localizers,

As the subject of this email anticipates, we plan to shut down the
webdashboard[1] by next week, on April 23.

This change is part of a larger effort to rationalize the way
localization works at Mozilla, to make it more scalable and less
confusing, especially for new contributors. It’s also the first step
towards the obsolescence for the .LANG file format, a custom format
that has served us well in the past years, but also has known
shortcomings. Mozilla.org is the primary user of this format, and
we’re currently discussing with the team about possible alternatives
to the current localization infrastructure.

Pontoon should be able to cover all needs currently served by the webdashboard:
- All locales can be enabled in Pontoon for the projects currently
covered by webdashboard.
- It supports deadline and priority for individual files.
- It supports notifications, although we hope to be able to make them
more discoverable in the future. In the meantime, it’s strongly
suggested to use the Pontoon Tools add-on to get better visibility
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/pontoon-tools/

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.

Francesco
