SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: November 03, 2009, 13:00 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

• Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says: "We don't have a good estimate for when GLS will be opening up more broadly, but I will be sure to let you know when we take that step. Sorry that I can not be more specific at this time." - We can only wait right now.
  • KaiRo emailed Google again more than 6 weeks ago and again 3 weeks ago, no reply yet, even though the MoCo geolocation contact has poked the Google contact as well.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0 Final

• Shipped on October 27!
• 167 fixed-seamonkey2.0 bugs (all post 2.0b2)!
• Pushed venkman perf hit and GetDefaultReader to 2.0.1
  • The former needs at least a core patch landing for 1.9.1.6 (.5 will be a short-cycle crash-fixing update), the latter needs a new patch, we need progress on both fronts!
• 2.0 has 19 official languages including en-US, as well as a beta/unofficial Turkish version (requested by localizer due to incomplete L10n). More to come for 2.0.1 (or whatever it might be).
• Ratty has written to add-on authors to update their work for 2.0, not sure how much is going on there right now.
• What are we going to do wrt 1.9.1.5?
• Feedback
  • Many positive messages
  • Also many posts with problems, a few common threads among those
    • Failure to launch when installed over 1.x - can we do something with removed-files?
    • Some things already mentioned in Known Issues
    • Profile migration failures - not sure how to get a hold of those
    • Quicklaunch from SeaMonkey 1.1.x still enabled, need to see if it's possible/wanted to disable Quicklaunch during SeaMonkey 2 setup (should not be that difficult)

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 94 new, 17 fixed, 34 triaged.
