SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: April 21, 2009, 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

• "New bugzilla components". Post to m.d.a.thunderbird/m.d.a.seamonkey/m.d.planning with some proposals and get it done. Just suggest something sensible following existing patterns for the qa contacts. [IanN]
• bug 485005 Create new bugzilla component for Feed Handling (detection/preview). [Ratty]
  • Suggestion: "Feed Discovery and Preview" | "Bugs in SeaMonkey's discovery of feeds and inline preview" | feed.handling@seamonkey.bugs

CLOSED

• "New bugzilla components action item" should be raised at MailNews/TB meeting for the bits still outstanding. In bug 471534 we still need Feed Handling for SeaMonkey; all the various MailNews core additions and moves; plus OS Integration for TB and Calendar. [KaiRo]
• The Session Restore component has "session.restore@seamonkey.bugs.bugs" as the QA contact. We need to file a bug to get this fixed. [Ratty]

SeaMonkey 2 Beta 1

Bug Queries

open blockers all blockers blocker requests

• SeaMonkey developers will need to nominate bugs that they think should be considered for blocking Beta 1.
• Thunderbird 3.0 beta 3 has postponed strict freeze a week, we should follow.
  • Would make us do the freeze on 2009-05-05 (Tuesday).
  • Download manager, tabmail and feed preview are the biggest missing items.
  • Tabmail is a prerequisite for Lightning which we would like to support.

Longer-Term SeaMonkey 2 Planning

open wanted wanted requests

Major wanted/needed features:

• bug 381157 Download manager backend.
  • New patch from Callek is there, status/progress?
• bug 472001 UI for download manager.
  • Some small updates, ported tests from toolkit, got r+sr, waiting for backend landing.
  • bug 483241 Fully implement download progress dialogs.
    • Posted screenshots and a first patch and blogged about it. Mixed feedback, needs some more work.
• Toolbar customization:
  • bug 413385 MailNews.
    • (Still) Waiting for review. status/progress?
  • bug 481862 Small buttons for MailNews: waiting for reviews and comments.
  • bug 464653 Fine Tune the toolbar context menu.
    • No time to work on this yet. This is polish, not a blocker.
  • Plans on other components?
    • None at the moment. Volunteers welcome.
    • Customizable Composer toolbars would save us a whole pref panel.
• bug 456757 Modern theme update.
  • Benjamin posted some new patches, got some reviews.
• bug 460699 Make the default theme look better on mac.
  • slowly making progress.
• bug 410613 OpenSearch. helpwanted.
  • We need to check if OpenSearch can support all our existing functionality, for example the INTEPRETS section in Sherlock search plugins. Mnyromyr will check on that, and on how extensible the Firefox code is.
• bug 460953 Port jminta's kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable.
  • There isn't any urgent need for progress on this as long as we don't break. It might be good for extensions if we to convert our folder pane to be JS-driven e.g. calendar wants to put items there.
  • status/progress?
• bug 415372 Implement Feed Preview.
  • status/progress?
  • bug 471346 (Port GetDefaultFeedReader to SeaMonkey shell service).

    • May need to update patch to sync with changes in Firefox bug 423672.

KaiRo

• As always, my blog has more detailed status about my work.

sgautherie

• Fixed (or in-progress) SeaMonkey bugs:
  • bug 244940 'loading.gif' is found in many different places: standardize it in one location!
• Fixed Core/... (but SM related) bugs:
  • bug 488975 |nsMsgFolderDataSource.cpp(2467) : warning C4018: '>' : signed/unsigned mismatch|
  • bug 228448 Remove '=='/'!=' 'PR_FALSE'/'PR_TRUE'; (Ev1-CC) </mailnews/*> except 1
  • bug 484205 Additional fixes to client.py, after bug 482686; (Bv1) 1 optimization, plus some reorderings
  • bug 488983 2 * |mailnews/base/src/nsMsgGroupThread.cpp(...) : warning C4018: '>=' : signed/unsigned mismatch|; (Av1) Remove an unused 'threadParent'
• And working on other areas... like
  • infrastructure to run tests
  • filing bugs for leaks in (TUnit) tests
  • doing an (experimental) Windows mozilla-central SeaMonkey build, reporting to bug 470184 issue tracking; hoping for bug 464325 new tinderboxes.
