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).

asrail

• bug 415372 Submitted another WIP for bug 415372. Waiting the second set of reviews from Callek, but (again) already have addressed most comments from Ratty locally. A final patch depends on the feed shell service, since that will require code changes and test. I'm considering asking for r+sr=Neil with that change pending on next WIP. So I could get a r+sr quickly when bug 471346 lands.

IanN

• bug 471932 Do some tidy up/fixing of feed subscription and related code - fixes lots of issues with the new shared code - waiting on reviews.
• bug 469498 Combine messagePaneContext and threadPaneContext - revised patch, to include notifyObservers and other suggested changes, waiting for reviews.
• bug 473011 Get TB to use notifyObservers - waiting for reviews.
• bug 472098 and bug 473012 Fixing up Lightning to use new combined mailContext menu and observers.
• Usual reviewing and commenting.

KaiRo

• bug 458533 Unify status bar progress ID and hiding method with other apps
• Investigated what it needs nowadays to make Lightning work, with tabmail and after above patch, it basically is functioning well, though some UI items are missing because of overlays not applying (esp. the case for some menuitems - need to show tab bar to be able to open calendar or tasks view)
• bug 468103 APNG throbber - looks nice with all kinds of OS theme background colors, bubbles show over those due to alpha transparency
• Wrote up a proposal for future SeaMonkey project vision based on newsgroup threads, mailed to Council plus a few core devs for comments/signoff, should appear soon as either official draft or signed off final version, depending on Council comments
• bug 472001 Download manager UI - rewrite of the tree-based window based on the toolkit backend, needs a patch from Callek to actually apply to SeaMonkey
• bug 468326 UI prefs for places history and its location bar autocomplete
• bug 390025 kill wallet and switch to toolkit login manager - unbitrotted and/or revamped the SeaMonkey-specific patches
• As always, my blog has more detailed status about my work.
