SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: April 20, 2010, 12:00 UTC
• Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

Agenda

• Who's taking minutes?

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn't been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

OPEN

• Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says they don't want additional specific consumers of the service right now and want to enable some general way of accessing it "some time" - We can only wait right now. No easy solution in sight. Also, discussing a possible open Geolocation service.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0.5

open blockers (2) blocker requests (1) fixed (32)

• Based on Gecko 1.9.1.10, tentatively targeted for May 11, exact schedule TDB, see Releases. Release possibly may be brought forward if any vulnerabilities show up.

SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 1

open blockers (2) blocker requests (11) targeted (20) fixed (156)

• We should start planning on releasing this alpha fairly soon, both to show things are moving and to get some more testing on that code.
• What big things does current trunk offer (over SeaMonkey 2.0)?
  • WOFF format for website fonts
  • resizeable text areas in web forms
  • fullscreen video
  • JIT tracing for x86_64
  • async places expiration
  • expiration and frecency-ordered form field autocomplete
  • js-ctypes support
  • better performance on startup and shutdown
  • ?
• What is "ready", but not in yet? Why?
  • OOPP: Code is all there, but needs libxul, which in turn needs external linkage of mailnews.
  • Places Bookmarks: Waiting for reviews
• For when could we reasonably schedule freezes and release?

SeaMonkey Bugday

Mozilla QA is holding a bugday on SeaMonkey TODAY!

More info on http://quality.mozilla.org/events/2010/apr/20/bug-day-seamonkey-general-bugs

We will be going through a large set of bugs in the "general" component and placing them into the appropriate component for higher visibility to developers. Identifying the right component allows us to more easily dupe, resolve, or escalate bugs.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 55 new, 14 fixed, 85 triaged.

• A lot of the triage is KaiRo having done a pass over all open Installer bugs. Going over bugs by component is nice, see the component bug counts to find a good target for your triage!

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

• bug 423281 Help updates.
  • status/progress?
    • KaiRo updated help for places history in bug 472873, waiting for approval.
  • bug 463903 (form autocomplete documentation).

    • No progress to report.
• bug 483282 Make sure normal SeaMonkey use doesn't pay a price for having venkman installed [Mnyromyr].
  • Needs at least a core patch landing for 1.9.1.10 bug 364864 (nsICategoryManager::deleteCategoryEntry does not persist outside of component registration) which depends on bug 480851 getting fixed on trunk.

Roundtable

Status Updates from developers - what are you working on, what's the progress, any other comments? (feel free to add yourself to the list if your name is missing and you have interesting status).

KaiRo

• As usual, my blog has more detailed status about my work, and Mozilla Status Board Posts also tell about my next planned steps.

Standard8

• See Mozilla Status Board Posts.

Any other business?

• review and superreview request lists are quite long and have a number of quite old entries. Everything from previous years should probably checked for validity. If your name is on either the "Requester" or "Requestee" column of any request older than this year, please check if it's still valid and cancel it if it's not. In some cases, reassigning to different people might also be in order.
• Move the meeting to another day of the week? mcsmurf is busy on Tuesday, any other day of the week is fine though
• Should we expire mass-UNCO bugs that are still without comments as they have gone 5 years without any activity, even though there was a warning and incentive for action 10 months a go?
  • Yes, I think we should do that -- mcsmurf
• ?
