The Mozilla Foundation has announced that there won't be any more official releases of the Mozilla Application Suite (codename: SeaMonkey), but they will provide infrastructure for community members who wish to continue development. SeaMonkey survival will need a new team that cares about that product and that will take over the lead for its development.

What we currently need for the survival of this product is some place to turn to for people who want to support us, and a plan for how the immediate future of SeaMonkey should look. Additionally, someone should be the project leader and officially the contact for the "outside world" (MoFo, etc.) on matters that concern the SeaMonkey project. We're still working on that.
For more details on the project status, see [[SeaMonkey:StatusMeetings]].


Boris Zbarsky has posted an open letter to MoFo signed by a number of interested parties, laying out a community transition plan. MoFo has agreed to support this plan.
== History ==


[http://www.mozilla.org/seamonkey-transition.html MoFo Transition Plan Announcement]
In 2005, the Mozilla Foundation released a [http://www.mozilla.org/seamonkey-transition.html "transition plan"] for the Mozilla Application Suite, in which they announced that there won't be any more official releases of the Mozilla Application Suite. At the same time they promised to still provide the newly created, mozilla.org-hosted, SeaMonkey project with needed infrastructure to do further development on the suite code and release it under the project's new name.

== The team ==


== The plan ==
A group of very active SeaMonkey developers make up the [[SeaMonkey:Project_Organization#SeaMonkey_Council|SeaMonkey Council]], which is responsible for project and release management.
We have created a [[SeaMonkey:Project_Organization#SeaMonkey_Council|Council]] group. This group will have final say over which bugs are in and which are out for a particular release (and be the group that has control over the relevant bugzilla flags), will be responsible for finding people to work on the bugs that need to be fixed, etc.  We'll also need a mailing list for this group of people.


Our [[SeaMonkey:Project Goals|Project Goals]] document describes where the project is basically headed.
That doesn't mean we don't need an even bigger group of developers working on the product or taking responsibilities of certain areas in the project. We also need [[SeaMonkey:QA|people doing QA and regular testing]] on our product. The development community of SeaMonkey is structured into [http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/project-areas.html project areas] which cover different parts of the SeaMonkey project. Many of those still need help from more developers; if you want to lend us a hand there, please contact [mailto:seamonkey-council@mozilla.org seamonkey-council@mozilla.org].


For one thing, we have to get a [[SeaMonkey:First Release|first release]] out the door.
Here is a page with a [[SeaMonkey:Supporters|list of the currently known supporters]].


In preparation, we need testers to work on [[SeaMonkey:QA|SeaMonkey QA]] to help improve the quality of this first release.
== How to help ==


A 'blocking-seamonkey1.0a' flag has been set up in bugzilla to help keep track of what needs to be done before the first release.  You can [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/query.cgi?product=Mozilla%20Application%20Suite&field0-0-0=flagtypes.name&type0-0-0=substring&value0-0-0=blocking-seamonkey1.0a create your own query] with this flag, or view the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=Mozilla+Application+Suite&resolution=---&field0-0-0=flagtypes.name&type0-0-0=equals&value0-0-0=blocking-seamonkey1.0a%2B open approved bugs] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?product=Mozilla+Application+Suite&resolution=---&field0-0-0=flagtypes.name&type0-0-0=equals&value0-0-0=blocking-seamonkey1.0a%3F yet to be approved bugs] blocking the release.
Our [[SeaMonkey:Project Goals|Project Goals]] document describes where the project is basically headed.


For the future, the first step, is that we have to get SeaMonkey to use the infrastructure of the new products (for example the toolkit which is discussed in [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255807 bug 255807]), preferrably up to the whole XULRunner thingy.
You can help by working on [[SeaMonkey:QA|SeaMonkey QA]] as you use SeaMonkey. We need help testing changes for SeaMonkey 2.x.
We also should port a few things of the new apps back to SeaMonkey, but retain what makes us like the suite.


I guess we could do a list here of what's to do and who is working on what.
To get started with the project, read the [http://www.seamonkey-project.org/dev/get-involved getting involved page] and/or join in the developer discussions in [news://news.mozilla.org/mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey] or [irc://libera.chat/seamonkey #seamonkey].


An overview of some thoughts of what has to be done is available at the user page of [[User:Biesi|Biesi]]

== The team ==


A group of very active SeaMonkey developers has recently gathered on IRC and agreed on a [[SeaMonkey:Project_Organization#SeaMonkey_Council|Council]] who are responsible for project and release mangement.
== Development ==


That doesn't mean we don't need an even bigger group of developers working on the product or taking resposibilities of certain areas in the project. We also need people doing QA and regular testing on our product. How those groups will be structured and organized is currently being discussed and we hope to have some information about that soon.
The [[SeaMonkey:suiterunner|suiterunner]] page has information on development that happened for the big platform conversion in SeaMonkey 2.0.


A [[SeaMonkey:Supporters|list of the currently known supporters]] is kept on a separate page (SeaMonkey:Supporters).
The [[SeaMonkey:New for 2.0]] document details the new features we have been picking up for 2.0, these are mainly as a result of the toolkit transition.


== Meetings ==
We also have a [[SeaMonkey:Suite Directory Layout|Suite Directory Layout]] document that describes how the new mozilla/suite/ directory in the Mozilla CVS and comm-central hg repositories should be structured.


Currently there is no meeting scheduled
=== SeaMonkey on Open HUB ===

A group of very active SeaMonkey developers make up the SeaMonkey Council, which is responsible for project and release management.

That doesn't mean we don't need an even bigger group of developers working on the product or taking responsibilities of certain areas in the project. We also need people doing QA and regular testing on our product. The development community of SeaMonkey is structured into project areas which cover different parts of the SeaMonkey project.

How to help

Our Project Goals document describes where the project is basically headed.

You can help by working on SeaMonkey QA as you use SeaMonkey. We need help testing changes for SeaMonkey 2.x.

To get started with the project, read the getting involved page and/or join in the developer discussions in mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey or #seamonkey.

If want to contribute to SeaMonkey localization, read our SeaMonkey:Localization page.

Development

The suiterunner page has information on development that happened for the big platform conversion in SeaMonkey 2.0.

The SeaMonkey:New for 2.0 document details the new features we have been picking up for 2.0, these are mainly as a result of the toolkit transition.

We also have a Suite Directory Layout document that describes how the new mozilla/suite/ directory in the Mozilla CVS and comm-central hg repositories should be structured.
