SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: January 12, 2010, 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 twice weeks ago, no reply yet, even though the MoCo geolocation contact has poked the Google contact as well.
  • KaiRo will try again to get this process restarted.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0 Feedback

Only unresolved items are tracked here - and we should find a way to deal with it for every item talked about in this section!

• The new Password and Form Managers seem to be hard for people to grasp. There is an existing documentation bug, bug 463903 for form autocomplete.
• Need for a form history editor to edit/delete incorrect entries. We can make use of an existing bug (bug 480734) to track a native Forms editor.
• Need some sort of FAQ on the SeaMonkey site to cover issues such as a simple pointer to double-click / down arrow in form fields.
• Cut&paste problem in connection with McAfee Site Advisor (bug 525601) is being worked on - we seem to have something on our side and they apparently also fixed something in an update.
• Possible bug: MailNews reported as high CPU being caused by having news downloaded without bounds, i.e. no purging. This could explain some people reporting 2.0 is slow as well due to large email or news folders causing blocked main threads when getting messages. Allegedly bug 311774 introduced the slowness.

SeaMonkey 2.0.2

Shipped with only the Mail Compose (OE Contacts) freeze fix/workaround on top of 2.0.1 and very small Gecko updates (1.9.1.7) - the next normal update from 1.9.1 has been renamed to 2.0.3.

SeaMonkey 2.0.3

open blockers (2) blocker requests (2) [1] (30)

• Planned release for early February.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 49 new, 17 fixed, 30 triaged (61/18/44 for the weeks before).

• Reporting continued unbroken over holidays, fixing/triaging dropped as expected.
• We should still do more triaging, esp. starting to look at trashing 1.x-only bugs as well (and see if any still happen on 2.x).

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

• bug 423281 Help updates.
  • Status/Progress?
