open blockers all blockers blocker requests

We have 2 open blockers right now:

  • bug 427817 Legacy Prefwindow removal: Mnyromyr will check in the patches tonight (CET).
  • bug 450205 Removing feed detection for Alpha 1: will be checked in for release only.

The following bugs have approved patches but do not block Alpha 1: bug 454859, bug 455807.

We are basically complete for Alpha 1

FREEZE ONGOING!

note: Final string freeze won't be until b1

All SeaMonkey-specific patches until Alpha 1 is actually cut (unfreezing) need approval-seamonkey2.0a1+ (or being for blocking-seamonkey2.0a1+ bugs)!

  • KaiRo will coordinate with the Council and the Mozilla build team on where/when to cut Alpha and how to do that and builds.
    • builds will created manually on the machines that also do the nightlies.
    • As soon as we have bug 427817 in, KaiRo will coordinate on cutting the release, i.e. doing an unnamed "branch" with the client.py changes and the feed detection patch, tagging that as well as mozilla-central and the cvs pieces we have in extensions/ and merging it back to trunk in a way that nothing except the tag changes will be there.
    • Once we have builds, we'll go through the usual dance with smoketesting candidate builds for about a week before releasing them.
    • Thunderbird 3 beta 1 will also be cut in the next few days probably, KaiRo will talk with Standard8 and gozer today about synergy effects.
  • Release notes
    • We need to gather a list of major changes to 1.1.x that this Alpha contains.
      • Contacted Jens Hatlak, who does trunk status blogs
    • Should we restructure relnotes completely?
      • Who can help with that?
      • Make them span fewer pages than the 1.x release notes.
      • Cover major changes from 1.1.
      • Update the system requirements (e.g. we no longer support Windows NT 3.51) We could probably copy from the README.

Longer-Term SeaMonkey 2 Planning

open wanted wanted requests

Major wanted/needed features:

  • bug 381157 Download manager.
    • Status/Progress?
  • bug 390025 Kill-wallet (password manager).
    • No progress
  • bug 382187 Places history.
    • Status/Progress?
  • bug 36810 Session restore.
    • Status: Waiting for reviews.

Other topics:

  • Toolkit feature-freeze (beta 1 code freeze) now Sept 30th - what needs to land before that from our POV?
    • Toolbar customization patch, bug 407725, waiting for gavin's review
  • Documentation should be redone, we need someone to work on that
    • one idea is to auto-import in-product help pages to website but someone would need to write up a script to do that.
    • Another idea is migrating end-user documentation from www.mozilla.org to seamonkey-project.org, reworking it to be current - help wanted!
    • Yet another idea would be to set up the SUMO system for SeaMonkey to get a knowledge base and web forums (we probably don't have the manpower for live chat support), some lose contact to SUMO people is here, but also help needed.
