The Mozilla "SeaMonkey" application suite should get its new wiki home here.
Status
The Mozilla Foundation has announced that there won't be any more official releases of the Mozilla Application Suite (codename: SeaMonkey), but they will provide infrastructure for community members who wish to continue development. SeaMonkey survival will need a new team that cares about that product and that will take over the lead for its development.
What we currently need for the survival of this product is some place to turn to for people who want to support us, and a plan for how the immediate future of SeaMonkey should look. Additionally, someone should be the project leader and officially the contact for the "outside world" (MoFo, etc.) on matters that concern the SeaMonkey project. We're still working on that.
Boris Zbarsky has posted an open letter to MoFo signed by a number of interested parties, laying out a community transition plan. MoFo has agreed to support this plan.
MoFo Transition Plan Announcement
The plan
We need to create a seamonkey-drivers group. This group will have final say over which bugs are in and which are out for a particular release (and be the group that has control over the relevant bugzilla flags), will be responsible for finding people to work on the bugs that need to be fixed, etc. We'll also need a mailing list for this group of people.
For one thing, we have to get a 1.8 release out the door.
In preparation for this 1.8 release, we need as many testers as possible to download and use Mozilla 1.8 beta 1 or recent nightly trunk builds. Bugs should be reported in Bugzilla (after checking for duplicates) and regressions marked with the regression keyword. Recent (Trunk) unconfirmed bugs (and triaged Recent (unspecified) unconfirmed bugs) should be confirmed or marked as duplicate, works for me, invalid, or wontfix. This way, we'll be able to see what bugs need to be fixed before a 1.8 release.
For the future, the first step, is that we have to get SeaMonkey to use the infrastructure of the new products (for example the toolkit which is discussed in bug 255807), preferrably up to the whole XULRunner thingy. We also should port a few things of the new apps back to SeaMonkey, but retain what makes us like the suite.
I guess we could do a list here of what's to do and who is working on what.
An overview of some thoughts of what has to be done is available at the user page of Biesi
The team
We're in the process of gathering people together to form a SeaMonkey project team, we'll see what comes out of that... A list of the currently known supporters is kept on a separate page (SeaMonkey:Supporters).
