Roundtable

Status Updates

dmose

• Spent much of the week doing summit stuff, including...
• Getting the foundations of Weave working in Thunderbird. Some (though not all) is being tracked by bug 446444. I'll try and get bugzilla more up-to-date this week.
• Upgraded Eclipse to version 3.4; and updated the developer.mozilla.org page somewhat to help other folks

Standard8

• Summit (now catching up)
• Reviews
• bug 429891 Extra CR LF inserted every 10 KB in message in POP3 Sent folder
  • Also includes test case for sending a message from a file and checking that the message is correctly received at the server, and correctly saved to the sent folder.
• Helped with hg switch over and did related bugs bug 446604, bug 446692.
• bug 443351 Branding file relocation
• bug 441526 Implemented highlightNonMatches in toolkit autocomplete.
• bug 408613 Address Book preferences pane reconstruction

asuth

• (summit)
• lots of gloda progress! (but not enough milestones announced/tagged)
  • body extraction works (roughly speaking, it may extract 'too much' in multipart/alternative cases)
  • refactored indexing to use generators for cleaner logic
  • added starred/read/tag attributes
  • preliminary 'action' support added (provides the horrible check-boxes, but should have a use in a usable future as wel)
  • preliminary support for plugin-defined tables.
  • basic address-book card entry mapping (very basic), should get better with Dan's uuid mods.
  • exciting plugins leveraging the body extraction...
    • phone number recognition/indexing/searching
    • bugzilla is/references recognition/indexing/searching
    • URL recognition/indexing/searching
• underway gloda things:
  • friendly query mechanism
  • nsIMsgDBView backed by gloda. This makes the inbox-fusion stuff do-able using gloda (plus all the other new folder-pane stuff), and a potential basis for cross-folder replacement under the traditional (non-expmess) UI.
• near-term gloda/expmess plans:
  • get a first pass at auto-completing search-bar hooked up to the gloda-backed nsIMsgDBView. This will expose the gloda functionality that the horribly ugly 'data mine'/'data miner' checkbox explosion currently accomplishes. We (clarkbw) can then put the data mine back into useful shape and make it even more useful.
  • officially push a new milestone with XPI's
  • document gloda plugin creation on the wiki.
