-=== General Planning ===
+=== Thunderbird v.next and branch tracking ===
+Discussion so far in [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/browse_thread/thread/de12fffeff417ae4/ca5aa18d203660f4?lnk=gst&q=Thunderbird+v.next#ca5aa18d203660f4 mozilla.dev.planning] (link missing the first few posts).
+Following discussion on irc today, several points came out from discussion about possibly moving to 1.9.1 for our main work:
+* Core devs willing to help us come to a reasonable solution, possibly an intermediate one whilst working out when to move to hg fully etc (e.g. see {{bug|437059}}
+* We don't want to re-invent the build system.
+* Option A on [[SeaMonkey/1.9.1_Repository_Options]] may be the best solution for the time being and/or overall
+** Would require a separate pull script for mozilla-central (at least whilst we're not in hg I believe).
+** ted & co willing to help us get the build system working with that sort of layout (Standard8 needs to file bug)
+* Depends on when we will ship.
+** 1.9.0.x is already frozen.
+** We need to define our release goals for Thunderbird 3.
+** We don't have very many core patches that are Thunderbird-specific and have a high impact on core.
+** 1.9.1.x may possibly slip into next year.
+Full discussion on the [[Talk:Thunderbird/StatusMeetings/2008-06-03|talk page]]
 === QA Updates ===
+* Previous bugday on [[Thunderbird:QA_TestDay:2008-05-29|29 May 2008]].
+** Only session 2 staffed.
+** See the [http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p5s-HZTtle5tmH9YD612eEA spreadsheet] of results.
+* Next bugday on [[Thunderbird:QA_TestDay:2008-06-05|05 June 2008]].
+** continued focus on recent bugs which have no comments/feedback
+** nth10sd will be there for session 2 only.
+*** We may only have one staffed session for bugdays in the near future, until helpers' numbers increase.
 === Roundtable ===
 * Status Updates
+** dmose
+*** reviewed patch to drop nsISupportsArray usage from addrbook where possible ({{bug|410177}})
+*** reviewed reply quoting patches ({{bug|384599}} and {{bug|23394}})
+*** drove IMAP deadlock fix into tree ({{bug|434642}})
+*** filed and worked on patch for compose window crasher bug, but it turned out to be an already-patched DUP ({{bug|436544}})
+*** reviewed unit test setup/teardown cleanup patch ({{bug|434810}})
+*** put together draft review requirements pages (see [http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.governance/browse_frm/thread/b34e7b135b8864f6 announcement])
+*** started reviewing nsIAbCard refactoring ({{bug|413260}})
+*** misc other small reviews
+** nth10sd
+*** Mastering hg and gdb.
+*** Went on an [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&bugidtype=include&bug_id=436195%2C436212%2C436331%2C436341%2C436361%2C436366%2C436373%2C436606%2C436609%2C436621%2C436622%2C436928 assertion-finding spree]. (12 found so far)
+**** Provided normal and full backtraces for each assertion trapped, using gdb.
+*** Did some work exploring the use of DOMi on Thunderbird trunk.
+**** Will work on some form of blogpost or wiki page describing this.
+*** Usual bugday, triage etc.
+** Standard8
+*** Various reviews
+*** Investigated and pulled mozilla-central to allow me to commit some patches against core.
+*** Mac OS X Address Book
+**** Committed {{Bug|398711}} UI
+**** Fixed {{bug|433264}} to allow users of special build 2.0.0.6 + Mac OS X AB to switch to trunk without "loosing" all their address books (they would disappear from the display).
+*** Automated Testing
+**** Finished reworking how we do tests as a result of bug 434810
+**** [[MailNews:Xpcshell_tests]] wiki page updated to keep in sync.
+**** Confirmed list of failing unit tests is still the same (i.e. blockers for {{bug|406227}}
+**** Tidied up patch and submitted for review a SMTP fake server and basic test {{bug|436847}}
+*** Autocomplete
+**** We now have autocomplete for my domain working on toolkit interfaces (thanks to Neil)
+**** Main address book autocomplete in progress ({{bug|370306}}, basic search functionality in place with unit test.
+**** Still need to think about LDAP.
+*** Misc
+**** {{Bug|436086}} Finished changing nsMsgDBFolder::mSubFolders from an nsISupportsArray to an nsCOMArray
+**** {{Bug|414432}} Finished improvements to nsIMsgHeaderParser::makeFullAddress(String)
+**** {{Bug|376877}} Fixed duplicate packaging of all-l10n.js in installer builds.
+** asuth
+*** Lightning
+**** Tried very hard to duplicate {{bug|367456}}, but it appears to have been mooted on the trunk.  Another commenter says TB 2.0.0.14 w/lightning also no longer has the problem.  There was a fair amount of short-term memory bloat and poor performance with the torture-test files though, which leads to...
+**** some pecobro enhancements to support with investigating leaks/bloat
+***** Made pecobro understand object allocation.
+***** Refactored pecobro to support caching all underlying data types, and no longer fuse/integrate the ASTs with the semantic cache (as suggested by dmose/dascher).  This greatly improves the performance and makes it possible for people with more reasonable amounts of memory to run things.
+***** Ran into a glitch where the DTrace probes/underlying javascript engine is lying about what file is being executed at a given point of time, which made the trace parser un-happy.  (Why I haven't posted a processed trace with the new mods yet).  I believe this would affect venkman too.
+**** Will try and complete these pecobro changes/fixes and use to help track down some lightning performance issues soon.
+*** Global Database
+**** Lot of thinking/planning.  Have looked at myk's snowl schema, posterity's original schema, my mods to posterity's schema, and clarkbw's examples from the newsgroup and previous proposed extension.
+*** justdave's WindowServer slow-down bug, {{bug|436897}}
+**** Spent a bunch of time trying to help remotely debug this and duplicate this locally (before the bug was logged).
+*** misc
+**** Fixed a glitch in my mail-folder-bindings fix on {{bug|296453}}; thanks to sid0.
+**** {{bug|435228}} fix went into tree; uncovered a multiple-listener scenario which is logged on {{bug|436366}} which I need to look into more deeply/propose a fix for.
+*** Still pending
+**** Installer work {{bug|375922}} (hopefully MSDN OS license comes through soon)
+**** Unit test for {{bug|296453}}.

+*** Helped Emre with Better Faster IMAP issues - added unit test in msgdb for one of them
+*** Investigated adding support for IMAP RFC 4551 {{bug|436151}}
+*** Worked on speeding up loading saved searches {{bug|436960}}
