Experiments

Thunderbird Conversations

Important backend work to improve the interaction between Thunderbird Conversations and Thunderbird. bug 648972 will help a lot in this regard. Help badly needed for issue 238, issue 189 and issue 175. More polish work during the week also...

Ubuntu Unity Integration

• A Launchpad blueprint has been started up to discuss switching the default Ubuntu e-mail application from Evolution to Thunderbird
• Blake and Mike are heading to UDS in Budapest to discuss the future of Thunderbird in Ubuntu

Miramar & Trunk Development

• We're going to be resyncing Miramar on to the same backend as Firefox 5.0
  • This would put our release date at late June/early July.
  • Final freezes sometime in May.
  • More information will get onto tb-planning during the week as we work out the details.
• Help on fixing blockers would be very useful and appreciated, see this list of higher priority bugs.

Thunderbird Stability & Security Releases

• Revised code freeze for 3.1.10 is today, should be building this week.
• Updater fixes now landed which will hopefully resolve the update issues we've been seeing (with mis-matched versions).
• SQLite upgraded to 3.7.4 which should fix a topcrash we've been seeing.
• Bug Lists: 3.1

QA Updates

• tester's mailing list is low traffic you should subscribe to be warned when testing is going on.
• The QA page is going under a lot of rewrite : feedback wanted !

Support

(If you support Thunderbird or write documentation to help support Thunderbird, please subscribe to the tb-support-crew mailing list and briefly introduce yourself to the list)

1. 581 new support topics (my guess: higher count is due to Firefox 4 "knock-on" effect) - Media:11-17April2011-Community_stats_for_Mozilla_Messaging.png
2. Kitsune KB migration: [Project Plan] Because of Easter and web-dev being away and localizations not being complete, we are moving the launch back to April 27, 2011.
3. 3.1 Support Issues
4. At Mozilla All Hands, discussed the effect on TB Support if TB decides to get on the Firefox rapid release platform train (SUMO support plan for Firefox release plan; we'll need something similar if TB goes for rapid release)
5. See this week's Support Appendix for full Get Satisfaction metrics and other support details
