Experiments
Thunderbird Conversations
- FOSDEM conference, see http://blog.xulforum.org/index.php?post/2011/02/06/Fosdem-2011
- Patches for Gecko submitted, patches for Thunderbird in the works (all improving Thunderbird Conversations somehow)
- Added content sniffing to figure out who did the action for get satisfaction emails as well as github emails
- Feature work + heavy refactoring
Compose in a tab
- High demand for it at FOSDEM
- Rewrote half the code to make it use thunderbird-stdlib
- Huge amount of work required to make it on par with the standard composition window.
- Planning on rewriting the other half soon so that other people can use a working prototype and start hacking on it. Will drive the experiment up to the point where's it's roughly usable as a drop-in replacement, and then will issue a call for participation.
