Thunderbird Development
Feature Work
Filelink (Big Files)
- Fixed a bug (files with parentheses in them for Ubuntu One) - see bug 793749
Instant Messaging
- Florian uploaded an add-on to AMO providing support for more chat networks (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, ICQ, ...). It's waiting for review, and the review may take a while as the add-on contains a binary component.
Modern Address Book
- First minor milestone hit - viewing 500 fake contacts imported from old address book is now possible. Hooray!
- I just started tossing together a UI prototype for people to play with. This work is based on the design document I was fiddling with a few months back.
- Along with the UI prototype, I'm starting to put together a roadmap to outline the missing pieces in order to make it easier for contributors to get involved.

Mark promises to have the summary ready for next week.
