SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty

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 found out that the contact at Google changed. Also, discussing a possible open Geolocation service.

CLOSED

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 50 new, 25 fixed, 15 triaged.

  • Fixed number starts to rise, triage is very much lacking right now. :(

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

  • bug 423281 Help updates.
    • InvisibleSmiley has been working on updating help.
    • bug 463903 (form autocomplete documentation).
    • FAQ to cover e.g. double-click / down arrow in form fields?
      • status/progress?
  • bug 483282 Make sure normal SeaMonkey use doesn't pay a price for having venkman installed [Mnyromyr].
    • Needs at least a core patch landing for 1.9.1.9 bug 364864 nsICategoryManager::deleteCategoryEntry does not persist outside of component registration.
    • No progress to report.
  • bug 471346 Port GetDefaultFeedReader to SeaMonkey shell service [mcsmurf].
    • New patch is up for review.

2.1

  • bug 460953 kill-rdf port [sgautherie].
    • Postponed until mcsmurf (or sgautherie) can resume work on it.
    • No progress.
  • bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
    • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
  • bug 410613 OpenSearch. helpwanted.
    • We need to check if OpenSearch can support all our existing functionality, for example the INTEPRETS section in Sherlock search plugins. Mnyromyr will check on that, and on how extensible the Firefox code is.
  • bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
    • Jeffrey Lee, a Seneca student, is looking into that!
  • bug 498596 Places bookmarks.
    • KaiRo has started looking into that and already filed a toolkit bug to get import/export module into toolkit. Trying to port some parts of UI in the mean time, slow progress.
  • bug 480734 Satchel data editor ("Form Manager").
    • unowned so far.
  • bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 1.9.3) Composer.
    • kaze will look into that once KompoZer 0.8 is done.
    • bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
    • kaze has done a ton of work there. We're trying to work out some organizational issues at the moment.
  • bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
    • A list of TODO icons is up in the bug.
    • Still needs quite a bit of work.
    • bug 522023 is working on improving the browser globe in task icons, etc..
  • bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.
    • unowned so far.
  • bug 521927 Make Search, Folder Location and Views widgets for MailNews customizable toolbars.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 545110 Add/port about:support (Troubleshooting Information page) to SeaMonkey
    • Depends on bug 518607 Move the Troubleshooting Information page into toolkit so other apps like Thunderbird and SeaMonkey can use it.

We also should take a look at the other items on wanted-seamonkey2.1+

  • The Decision was made to drop 1.9.2 and go for 1.9.3 as a base.
    • This creates some problems with staying behind Firefox 3.6 and Thunderbird 3.1 for a bit, but it puts us right at the front when Firefox.next comes.
    • We need to find a solution for Lightning, which is targeting Thunderbird 3.1 now.
    • We can now remove all branch ifdefs from suite/ trunk code.

stefanh

Bugs fixed:

  • bug 530064 Firefox can't open local files (from Finder) with space character(s) in file name.

Working on:

  • bug 537343 Need new entities for proper Mac menu items localization in all the supported locales.
  • bug 540974 [Mac classic] On received messages, if too many attachments, scroll bar works but is not visible.
  • bug 547492 Use correct resize cursor for collapsed splitters.

wladow

Any other business?

  • [sgautherie] I suggest to replace the (usually) empty roundtable entries with a list of "no report/activity from these contributors"...
    • [Ratty] How about pruning the entries. There are some contributors who just drop by specifically to implement one feature they are interested in and then disappear forever afterwards (asrail, wladow). MReimer appears to have GAFIAted and is highly unlikely to return. Aqualon does bug triage regularly so perhaps he could update us on his QA activities.
    • [sgautherie] We can do both/either: I just wanted to make a "1st step" suggestion ;-)
    • KaiRo suggests moving the whole roundtable to the status board but that would require active developers to sign-up.
  • KompoZer: Kaze says that independent of getting KompoZer into comm-central, he could still backport most of KompoZer features to SM Composer: just send him a list of the most wanted ones (or ask our users).
    • [Ratty] will start a new thread in the Mozillazine SeaMonkey forums to that effect.
