In order to qualify a release for a locale, we must _consider_ whether we "have correct <noun>" or / "can correctly <verb>" each of:
- (hw)
- power adapters
- certifications
- keyboard silkscreening
- ???
- (software)
- keyboard maps for X + the Linux virtual terminals
- locale/collation data
- render text in the correct direction
- layout complex orthography
- free fonts
- input methods
- multi-language configuration
- translations of the UI and important pieces of content
- dictionaries + spellchecking
- 'sensitivity' checks for offensive words/concepts
- QA resources sufficient to maintain these items according to our software support policies for the release.
- (misc)
- deployment guide
- issue escalation path
- country-provided rollout plan??
- ???
A separate issue which must be agreed upon by all of us is which of these items are _necessary_ to qualify a build and keyboard for deployment at scale XXX.
