|Implementing Private Browsing
|SeaMonkey {{Bug|460895}} Private browsing mode feature.<br>
Firefox {{Bug|248970}} (PrivateBrowsing) Private Browsing mode (global toggle for saving/caching everything)<br>
Firefox {{Bug|462832}} (mozpb) Enable private browsing support for all of the Mozilla-based applications.
|SeaMonkey-Council
|
|Private Browsing is currently being rewritten and moved into Core (docshell) so perhaps we should wait for next year's GSoC.
|-
|Update the Composer (Web Page Editor) component.
|We need to modernize the Composer code to take into account HTML5, CSS3 and modern web development techniques.
 
{{Bug|477840}} Backport KompoZer to Composer.<br>{{Bug|477845}} Build a standalone Composer.
|SeaMonkey-Council
|Kaze
|We plan to use the KompoZer code base as the basis of the new Composer component.
|-
|Mail Bookmarks.
|We alredy have a primitive version of tagging. We should have the ability to "bookmark" individual mail messages, search and organize them just like browser bookmarks.
|SeaMonkey-Council
|Mnyromyr
|Could probably include an enhanced tagging feature.
|-
|Modernize Migration code and add new migrators.
|Importers for Opera, Safari, MSIE, Thunderbird (probably just reverse the SM-to-TB importer), Firefox, Chrome [lang=C++].
|SeaMonkey-Council
|
|
|-
|Update or rewrite our two themes (Default/Classic and Modern).
|Probably suitable for a graphics design or fine arts major. [lang=css,png,svg]
|SeaMonkey-Council
|
|
|-
|Graphics redesign of all SeaMonkey project webpages including a new
mascot and some tee-shirt designs.
|Probably requires a Web Developer student [lang=css,html,php/python,png,svg].
|SeaMonkey-Council
|
|
|-
|Design and implement a publicity campaign to raise the awareness of SeaMonkey.
|Probably suitable for a Marketing major [lang=English]
|SeaMonkey-Council
|
|Might coordinate with the previous Graphics design GSoC.
|-
|Tabs on Top in Browser and MailNews.
|Implement optional Tabs on Top including App Tabs (e.g. Composer, Address Book).[lang=xul,xbl,js]
|SeaMonkey-Council
|
|Included "Make mail tabs real". Currently, mailtabs are just "fake", they act more like buttons to switch between messages/views. This means especially that when deleting a message already shown in background tab and then switching thither, it's gone &mdash; which is extremely counter-intuitive. We might want to see how Spicebird does things here.
|-
|Reimplement the Advanced Search Sidebar using OpenSearch.
|The Open Search engine syntax allows requesting data in atom/rss/xml formats. This would allow us to scrape search results in a format suitable for processing by the sidebar.
