Main Issues

  • 3 blockers with no owner:
    • bug 429118 Thunderbird inline spell check broken
    • bug 430762 Start page for Alpha/Beta builds - is this a dup?
    • bug 451257 Using "Edit as new" for random messages sometimes crashes Thunderbird [@ pixman_malloc_abc]
  • L10N builds at risk:
    • mozilla-central currently has no automated L10N builds
    • Uncertain as to current capability to do L10N builds for Thunderbird
    • No instructions for L10N builds from comm-central
    • no L10N dashboard (i.e. compare locales)
  • String Freeze - Are we on course to get string changes in for next week?
    • Account Configuration bug 422814
    • Password Manager bug 239131
      • May not make it, although FF password manager should already be localised for most folks, the preference pane changes are still outstanding.
    • Gloda bug 450494
    • Inline card dialog bug 450724
    • Improved Message Reader View bug 449691

QA Updates

  • huge nose dive in unconfirmed last week - so trend of good results from bugday and other efforts continues
  • Offline/online bug triage net results - two weeks ago started with 39 bugs with no comment since 2007-08-01, now down to 17 bugs. (in fact only 17 have no comments before 2008-05-30) So, a qualified success - but would be great if more people were comfortable working on them :)
  • this week's bugday focus will be, at least in part, bugs with patches that need love

Gmail Configuration: POP and IMAP

asuth

(I will not be on the call today.)

  • gloda landing bug 450494
    • my status
      • have updated gloda mercurial repo to be able to "drop it in" by checking it out into mailnews/db/global. This allows a dual-existence for the time being. (Of course, a patch is required to get make to walk down into gloda's directory. Forgot to publish that, will do that.)
      • unit tests writing in progress, will be back in the office on that Tuesday eve. Hope to push a first batch of working tests out soon. They will depend on some helpers I have as a patch against the mailnews core.
      • have bolstered the in-code javadoc-style (some epydoc-style) comments.
    • what I would like
      • If the potential reviewers (I am thinking bienvenu and Standard8?) could start to look at the repository, probably starting from modules/gloda.js, that would be great.
      • we should probably plan on tele-con walkthroughs after some initial familiarization/review has occurred. I had done one with dmose and bienvenu back when dmose was up in Vancouver, and that went pretty well. A lot has happened since then, though, so bienvenu might still want in on such a walkthrough. We should probably do this after I get at least the first batch of unit tests out.
  • other
    • I helped justdave with a MIME-related bug and even wrote a unit test! (waiting on netwerk review for the fix, though.)
bienvenu
  • Continued work on easy autoconfig - testing logon verification and port probing.
  • Wrote patch for bug 440366 all keywords/tags of a mail will be deleted if attachment is detached, awaiting review
  • Investigating bug 450649 pop3 partial download broken for global inbox
  • Continued work on saved search grouping+threading
  • Code reviews, 3.0b1 and 3.0 bug triage
emre
  • Still working on bug 440793, bug 439097, bug 436615. A feature complete patch has been submitted. Going to work on it next couple days to make the strategy object scriptable.
gozer
  • We've now got the basic infrastructure in place to run our own http:// sites
    • Capable of sustaining the 8,000,000 hits a day we've been hearing about
    • Sample Staging website for instance

  • Learned of the web component part of the Autoconfiguration work from BenB
    • validates that *.live.mozillamessaging.com is the right DNS structure for all things needed by Thunderbird itself
    • brought up interesting issues of trust and SSL certificates
    • I'd like to get the general feel about including our own CA in Thunderbird's trusted CA list.
  • Decided it's simpler to host the Lightning/gdata buildbots ourselves, instead of trying to reuse the current community boxes
  • Brought our test Zimbra install in sync with what's at MoCo to help Calendar folks with debugging problems bug 450534
