1. Add new fields
   1. References (url, text)

• AfriGen will be designed with the specific goal of the Palnet Locale component in mind. That goal is to facilitate the creation of 100 locales for African languages.
• There will be one official online version of the “African LocaleGEN” (AfriGen) dedicated to Palnet. The online version will be accessed via the PALnet wiki.
• There will be no effort in providing an offline version of the AfriGen, as it is not necessary for fulfilling the goal of this project.
• For an offline version, the current LocaleGen is available for download.
• All regional coordinators are located in larger African cities with access to Internet connectivity.
• All local participants can get access to Internet to send small data files to the regional coordinator

• Seven regional coordinators have been (or will be) selected to collect data from local contributors. Each coordinator is responsible for approx. 15-20 languages each. Each language can result in a handful of locale files, as a languages can be spoken in one or more countries.

• The local participants will complete their work via either:

1. Online forms (preferred)
2. Paper forms printed from PDF

• Regional coordinators will input data from paper submissions and verify electronic submissions
• Regional coordinators will upstream completed locales to Localegen

• AfriGen will be configured with 100 empty locale files (for the 100 target languages)
• All locale file (empty, in progress or completed) will be visible for any user visiting the site.
• Each regional coordinator will have access to edit the locales assigned to him/her.
• The RO will be able to fork a locale to cover several countries
• A fallback mechanism should be available for English, Spanish, Portuguese, classic Arabic and French. For example, many African languages do not have names for all of the hundreds of countries and languages that are listed in CLDR, so those languages will revert to the relevant national fallback language
• When a locale file is completed, the RO will “submit” the entry, resulting in that the entry is frozen (no longer editable) and the AfriGen team is notified by email.
• If a language can be written in more than 2 languages, there must be an alternative to express that and name the locale file thereafter.

• Create new locales
• Statistics (number of completed locales, % of a locale completed)
• Create OOo, CLDR, C-GNU files

• Informative info boxes
• Updated info page
• Localization of user feedback and GUI (french, portugese) Not needed?

• Script

• New layout (AfriGen)
• Balloons! One per completed locale!

• Locale Facebook group
