This is the Wiki home of the SeaMonkey Project, which continues development on the code of the Mozilla Application Suite.
For quick answers to common questions, please explore the SeaMonkey FAQ!
Status
The Mozilla Foundation has announced that there won't be any more official releases of the Mozilla Application Suite, but they will provide infrastructure for community members who wish to continue development under the new project name "SeaMonkey". The project has a new team that is independent of the Mozilla Foundation, cares about that application and that takes over the lead for its development.
The Mozilla Foundation still provides the new mozilla.org-hosted project with needed infrastructure, as promised in the "transition plan" document, as well as maintains the Mozilla 1.7.x Application Suite product, but concentrates development work on their new mainline products Firefox and Thunderbird.
The plan
We have created a SeaMonkey Council 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), is responsible for finding people to work on the bugs that need to be fixed, etc.
Our Project Goals document describes where the project is basically headed.
You can help by working on SeaMonkey QA as you use SeaMonkey. A 'blocking-seamonkey1.0' flag has been set up in bugzilla to help keep track of what needs to be done before SeaMonkey 1.0. You can create your own query with this flag, or view the open approved bugs and yet to be approved bugs blocking the release.
For the post-1.0 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 Progress
We released SeaMonkey 1.0 on January 30th, 2006! See the release announcement for more details. This followed a beta release on December 19th, 2005.
The team
A group of very active SeaMonkey developers has recently gathered on IRC and agreed on a SeaMonkey Council who are responsible for project and release management.
That doesn't mean we don't need an even bigger group of developers working on the product or taking resposibilities of certain areas in the project. We also need people doing QA and regular testing on our product. How those groups will be structured and organized is currently being discussed and we hope to have some information about that soon.
Here is a page with a list of the currently known supporters.
Meetings
There was a Town Hall meeting at IRC on Wednesday July 6th 2005 at 15:00 UTC (log).
