SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: 14 June, 2011, 12:00 UTC
• Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

Agenda

• Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty
• Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?
  • Please note we have a new rule: A person or entity can't be nominated twice in a row.

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn't been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

• IanN to look at what needs to go into comm-aurora and comm-beta from comm-central. Due to string changes we have to be selective in which changesets to go into the merge.

OPEN

CLOSED

K.I.V.

• Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. We can still only wait on the Google front right now. Didn't hear anything about open Geolocation service yet. No easy solution in sight.

SeaMonkey 2.1

open blockers (2) blocker requests (0) targeted (0) fixed (63)

• SeaMonkey 2.1 was releases on 10 June!
  • AUS updates from (2.0 -> 2.1) are TBA (Callek?)

Release Train

• SeaMonkey will directly go the the permanent repositories, i.e. -aurora, -beta in addition to -central. Miramar is a Thunderbird-only release branch (as is comm-2.0 for SeaMonkey).
• Aurora was uplifted from Central three weeks ago, for both mozilla and comm. Beta is probably slightly older and does not match the mozilla branch point exactly.
• For comm-aurora, we can let a few more things slip in, but we also should regard strings there as much frozen as possible. In the future, string freeze is the uplift from central to aurora, which matches Firefox.
• SeaMonkey comm-aurora and comm-beta are buildable and tinderbox has run tests against them.
• Callek is working on getting comm-aurora and comm-beta on MXR (update?).

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 66 new, 26 fixed, 32 triaged.

• Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!

Open reviews/flags: 35 review 13 super-review 0 ui-review 8 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

2.next

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled

For now only a drop zone for those bugs that obviously will not make 2.1.

• bug 460953 kill-rdf port [Closed].
  • Ewong to create a new meta-bug and move any unresolved dependencies over plus a dependent bug containing patch G as well. [Done] New bugs are:
  • bug 657607 Port jminta's kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable Part 2 [meta].
  • bug 657604 Remove the RDF global object.
• bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
  • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
• bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
• bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 2.0) Composer. [kaze]
  • kaze is currently busy with his new job so doesn't have much time to spend on this.
  • bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
  • kaze has done a ton of work there. We still need to work out some organizational issues. At the moment there is no active interest from MoMo for bringing standalone composer into comm-central. That's something we (KaiRo and kaze) will have to negotiate with the Thunderbird team (dmoseStandard8).
• bug 507841 Port Bug 422814 - Make account configuration quick, easy, and more secure (autoconfig, Quick Account Setup).
• bug 533908 SeaMonkey Mail: tabs not restored [misak].
• bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
  • A list of TODO icons is up in the bug.
• bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.
  • bug 548778 New communicator icons (based on Strata theme) for SeaMonkey. Some proposed icons got posted, we should take a look how to get that contribution into the product.
  • The rest is unowned so far.
• bug 87098 [SeaMonkey] Delete key should delete location bar history list entry.
  • No l10n impact
  • (InvisibleSmiley: ) Neil said "Actually our location bar history doesn't and can't use autocomplete at all.", moving to 2.next.

Active

• bug 606683 Allow customization of toolbar in Composer and MailNews Composition [IanN].
  • A lot of untangling needs to go on between the 3 editors that we have. We can expect a bit of code cleanup for 2.1 but full customization has to go to 2.next as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.
• We need to finish bug 654864 soon, but none of Neil's comments on bug 422845 triggered any response, so InvisibleSmiley feels reluctant to continue.
  • One option is to create a TB patch and get a review.

We also should take a look at the other items on 2.1-wanted Also the nominations need triaging.

Roundtable - Personal Status Updates

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).
