SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: May 4, 2010, 12:00 UTC
• Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

Agenda

• Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty

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

CLOSED

K.I.V.

• 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.

SeaMonkey 2.0.5

open blockers (3) blocker requests (1) fixed (45)

• Based on Gecko 1.9.1.10, targeted for May 13, see Releases.
• Builds probably start this week; builds on beta channel ASAP after that.

SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 1

open blockers (3) blocker requests (6) targeted (20) fixed (180)

• New 2.1 Features are on their own page now, please help updating it!
• We'll release this alpha soon, both to show things are moving and to get some more testing on that code.
• Tentative freeze TODAY, can we hold that up? When can we move to releasing this?
• Plans for 2.1: 6-8 weeks per milestone, a2 once places bookmarks have landed and baked for a few days, at latest in July, b1 in August/September, and a final in October/November (will also need to watch plans for Firefox to align ourselves where reasonable or needed).

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 37 new, 23 fixed, 2073 triaged.

• 1981 of the triaged bugs have been mass-EXPIRED, 57 resolved on the bugday (which touched 135 bugs in total).
• Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!
  • Ratty picked Error Console.

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

• bug 423281 Help updates.
  • status/progress?
    • KaiRo landed the help update for places history on branch (bug 472873).
