Absolutely. If the existing Mozilla India framework can be used to
make a "This month use your favorite browser in your local language"
(I made that up; it isn't the actual proposed name) campaign, we
should ideally see increased downloads and, user experience feedback.
I would emphasize more on the latter than the former - we need to hear
the stories!

Couldn't agree more!

Yes. I am hoping that you (+Biraj, Swarnava, Priyanka and others) can
help formulate this so that we can have this right up front in the new
year or, synchronized with a version release of Firefox.
