SeaMonkey Meeting Details
- Time: 26 July, 2011, 12:00 UTC
- Location: #seamonkey IRC channel
Agenda
- Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty
- Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?
- Please note 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
OPEN
- More people need to help out with taking of the meeting notes. Ratty to send an email to SeaMonkey-members list summarizing what needs doing and asking for people to share duties. Still TODO, somehow this fell between the cracks.
- We should find a better way of getting nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank.
- We could put out a call for nominations the week before then, at the time of the meeting notice going out we could include any nominations (We need to come up with a quick FAQ as to what merits a nomination). IanN has put out an email to the members list but not had any responses yet, perhaps should post to newsgroups? He will try and compile the FAQ from any responses.
CLOSED
- IanN to triage the 2.2-tracking bugs, and move as needed to the appropriate target version.
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.
Release Train
- SeaMonkey will directly go to 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).
- For comm-aurora, 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.
- If we have any actual fixes that don't need L10n changes (not enhancements) on central but not beta, they should go there if possible.
- 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 (bug 653424).
- The correct version numbers are now on the release train.
- First beta of 2.3 is due out shortly and then we'll have about 3 weeks to release. Target release date is 16th August.
- Bug authors have been doing a fairly good job of requesting relevant approvals for the comm-aurora/beta.
Extensions Compatibility Tracking
- Addon Compatibility Listings created and maintained by InvisibleSmiley.
- InvisibleSmiley moved Dictionary Switcher to "AMO", removed "under review" from MailNews Status Icons; moved FireFTP and Copy URL + to "External Sources", added IE Tab + and Scriptish to "AMO"
- DERoss added Signature Switch to "Needs Addition to install.rdf"
- Various other updates over the past two weeks, including Greasemonkey (from xsidebar site) marked as working.
- AMO has a compatible version of Engimail now, and an experimental one for Lightning. Unfortunately these two Calendar extensions must be sought under Thunderbird and "All versions".
- Besides Lightning, we should also take a look at other add-ons that are important for our users when they switch to 2.1.
- InvisibleSmiley created a 2.1 FAQ Wiki page. Everybody please help update it.
- The FAQ should be version-agnostic and have version updates mentioned in it so Jens or whoever won't need to keep changing the version numbers.
- KaiRo created a SeaMonkey Features page and sub-pages for all those that are in development.
SeaMonkey 2.2
open tracking (2) tracking requests (0) targeted (0) fixed (36)
- SeaMonkey 2.2 was released on 8th July 2011, based on Gecko/Mozilla 5.0 and Available in 21 languages, for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
- The New 2.2 Features page has a comprehensive list of features.
- AUS updates from (2.0 -> 2.2 and 2.1 -> 2.2):
- 2.1->2.2 is a minor update and should be online as automatic already.
- 2.0->2.2 is a major update (MU) and is online now, too.
- 2.2 had ~32900 ADU yesterday, 106540 downloads so far.
- The release notes should also mention (or provide a link to) any fixed security issues in order to support our mantra that you need to install updates to stay secure.

Feature List, Planning
Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 56 new, 33 fixed, 19 triaged.
- New bugs seem to be outstripping fixed/triaged but still a good amount of triaging going on.
- Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!
Open reviews/flags: 34 review 12 super-review 0 ui-review 8 feedback
Major wanted/needed features:
Active
- bug 606683 Allow customization of toolbar in Composer and MailNews Composition [IanN].
- Progressing slowly, still waiting on reviews from TB side. Full customization has to go to 2.next (currently 2.5 but will probably be pushed back further) as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.
- de-RDF bug 654864 has been finished and landed on all development branches, including comm-beta (2.3). Still to do:
- Neil wanted to follow up on some listener issues
- for the selection issue, see what the TB guys come up with in bug 669203
Needing help, Unowned, Stalled
- Kill-RDF:
- 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.

- bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 2.0) Composer. [kaze]
- kaze is currently busy with his new job so doesn't have any 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 (Standard8).

- 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.
- Note: Our location bar history doesn't and can't use autocomplete at all.
