“vi” was Minh Nguyễn’s Summer of Code project to localize Mozilla Thunderbird 1.5 into Vietnamese, under the mentorship of mozdev’s David Boswell. Google’s Summer of Code 2005 only allowed individuals to participate, so this project originally did not accept outside contributions. Nguyễn Mạnh Hùng is now leading the effort to release official Vietnamese localizations for Firefox 3.1 and Thunderbird 3.0. If you’re interested in helping out, please contact him.
