SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: 03 May, 2011, 12:00 UTC
• Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

Agenda

• Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty
• Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?

Action Items

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

NEW

• IanN to email Fallen to get some cooperation for getting a version of Lightning that is compatible with SeaMonkey 2.1 out on AMO.

OPEN

CLOSED

• Mnyromyr to coordinate the SeaMonkey response to this years Google Summer of Code.
  • This year's gSoC proposals for Mozilla as such are very weak in toto, ideas for mail/news related stuff are very scarce — some remotely related seek to improve instant messsaging in Instandbird. SeaMonkey received no student applications. :-( [Mnyromyr]

K.I.V.

• Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. We can still only wait on the Google front right now. Didn't hear anything about open Geolocation service yet. No easy solution in sight.
  • At the "State of the Map - Europe" OpenStreetMap conference, KaiRo will try to get people to team up and create an open service.

SeaMonkey 2.0.14

open blockers (1) blocker requests (0) fixed (29)

• SHIPPED on 28 April.
• Callek did the shipping. InvisibleSmiley organized the website pages. Ewong posted the announcement to the newsgroups/mailing lists. No we don't have a twitter account. But we have a Facebook account :-)

SeaMonkey 2.1

open blockers (5) blocker requests (3) targeted (0) fixed (38)

• Firefox 4.0 was released on 22nd March.
• Don't fear being aggressive with blocker triage, If it isn't needed it doesn't block. By that same token, if you are able to fix a blocker please try and work on them before tackling any other bugs.
• Help patches can go in at anytime.

Further 2.1 scheduling:

• Please help updating the New 2.1 Features page as we go.
• 2.1pre should be followed by our release (candidate), which most likely will be based on Gecko 2.0.1 (which is now available).
• Callek has set up the comm-2.0 branch. It is now live and will be used for SM2.1.
  • comm-2.0 is not used/supported by TB so InvisibleSmiley and Ratty take care of transplanting MailNews Core bugs they see fit.
• We should release within 2 weeks from Firefox 4.0.1.
  • We're still on schedule for early May release.
• There might not be any more official security updates to the 1.9.1 branch after the upcoming one, so we should get a stable release based on Mozilla 2.0 out as soon as we can.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 41 new, 43 fixed, 29 triaged.

• Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!

Open reviews/flags: 36 review 12 super-review 0 ui-review 7 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

2.1

Active

• bug 570004 Popup/"doorhanger" notifications [Neil].
  • Implementation moved to bug 595810.
  • Only lwthemes doorhangers are left to do. Waiting for reviews.
  • NO l10n-impact

• We will need to take a close look at Lightning, which is mainly targeting Thunderbird.
  • Lightning 1.0b4 seems to be targeted to be Gecko 2.0-based.
  • Due to recent Lightning patches/fixes, Lightning nightlies are now working again on SM trunk.
  • IanN to email Fallen to get some cooperation for getting a version of Lightning that is compatible with SeaMonkey 2.1 out on AMO.

2.next

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled

For now only a drop zone for those bugs that obviously will not make 2.1.

• bug 460953 kill-rdf port.
• bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
  • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
• bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
• bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 2.0) Composer. [kaze]
  • kaze is currently busy with his new job so doesn't have much time to spend on this.
  • bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
  • kaze has done a ton of work there. We still need to work out some organizational issues. At the moment there is no active interest from MoMo for bringing standalone composer into comm-central. That's something we (KaiRo and kaze) will have to negotiate with the Thunderbird team (dmose).
• bug 507841 Port Bug 422814 - Make account configuration quick, easy, and more secure (autoconfig, Quick Account Setup).
• bug 533908 SeaMonkey Mail: tabs not restored [misak].
• bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
  • A list of TODO icons is up in the bug.
  • MattATobin and MReimer arewere looking into this.
• bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.
  • bug 548778 New communicator icons (based on Strata theme) for SeaMonkey. Some proposed icons got posted, we should take a look how to get that contribution into the product.
  • The rest is unowned so far.
• bug 87098 [SeaMonkey] Delete key should delete location bar history list entry.
  • No l10n impact
  • (InvisibleSmiley: ) Neil said "Actually our location bar history doesn't and can't use autocomplete at all.", moving to 2.next.

Active

• bug 606683 Allow customization of toolbar in Composer and MailNews Composition [IanN].
  • A lot of untangling needs to go on between the 3 editors that we have. We can expect a bit of code cleanup for 2.1 but full customization has to go to 2.next as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.

We also should take a look at the other items on 2.1-wanted Also the nominations need triaging.
