Most work for SeaMonkey in the last weeks was getting 2.57 synced up with 2.53.3 together with IanN, some support work and reviewing patches.
Waiting for review:
* {{Bug|1274798}} Seamonkey integration in Gnome3. Old bug/patch which needs verification from someone more familiar with Linux.
Waiting for esr60 a+:
* none
Waiting for feedback:
* {{Bug|1410646}} Fix SM "log into/onto" and related instances.
Checkin ready:
* {{Bug|1606400}} Land strings for IRC client in SeaMonkey (backed out for now after reqest from l10n folk).
Reviewing:
* {{Bug|1536779}} Port |Bug 1528840 - addressingWidgetOverlay.js, abMailListDialog.js code cleanup| to SeaMonkey. Postponed till 2.57 is in better shape.
* A new bunch of bugs from IanN.
Working on:
* RDF removal with '''IanN''' for 2.53 and up. Full removal for 2.53 will only happen if it does not break critical or too many add-ons.
* Backporting ESR 60 and beyond fixes to 2.53. Still at 60.3 now but many new media related fixes and later security backports are in.
* Syncing 2.57 with 2.53 fixes.
* {{Bug|521861}} After creating news account through clicking news URL Account Wizard is broken. '''jorgk''' found some issues in the patch which I need to fix first.
* Port of {{Bug|1100103}} Add a remove button to every To/CC/BCC address in Composer. No bug yet. Initial version in 2.53. Needs better styling.
Not working on:
* Fixing comm-central. Not worth it currently. Only see that it builds.
* Starting to see if I can back out the xul templates removal to speed things up. Second bug backed out but still no luck. '''IanN''' does de-rdf which is better.
** 2.58+ is broken in capital letters as in BROKEN.
Shelved for later:
* Integrating DOMi Plus patches into DOMi.
* {{Bug|1296850}} Show standard loading indicator images in tab when busy or progress attribute are set. Asked someone who wants to help out to look at the icons. Got the icons but have no time at the moment.
* {{Bug|1392929}} Port Bug 886907 [Remove old synchronous contentPrefService] to SeaMonkey.
* Followups for {{Bug|1379369}} to TriggeringPrincipals and UserContextIDs in more functions. '''IanN''' already fixed a bunch of stuff.
* {{Bug|1370314}} SeaMonkey 06/2017 installer rollup. Probably not much more right now. Took some parts to other bugs. and will see what is left when 2.57 is ready.
* {{Bug|1231349}} l10n repacks broken on with SM 2.42 and newer. cZ patch done for 2.57 and up. Got feedback but found a bug yesterday. Backport to 2.53 later.
* {{Bug|1231349}} l10n repacks broken on with SM 2.42 and newer. DOMi patch mostly working. cZ got f+. Shooting for r+ next.
Titbits:
* Still home office, no traveling and a bit of a slacker in the last week.
