| valign="top" |When user clicks to play a streamed audio file, I am suggesting two methods to play it. First one is view the downloader and supply a Firefox’s “internal player” to play it. Second one is supply a player options within tool bar. I don’t know the possibility of this project. Please comment on this.<br><br>maxaeran: how does this fit with the WHAT-WG Audio object proposals? - Gerv

| valign="top" |JS coded extension w/ Open ID based accounts. SQL-based bookmark accounts directly linking to XPIs, with support for RSS.

| valign="top" | See {{bug|225882}}|-| valign="top" | Make SeaMonkey Not Suck As A News Reader| valign="top" | Basically, get some traction on some of the highlights of {{bug|176238}}/{{bug|12699}} , in particular: "clickable references" ({{bug|62033}}) and headers in general ({{bug|23114137339}}), a more usable subscribe dialog ({{bug|40260}}), reordering of the folder pane ({{bug|150274}}, maybe even hierarchical?). For bonus points, a correct implementation of the nntp/news protocols ({{bug|89939}}) would be really cool!| valign="top" | Mnyromyr| valign="top" | Mnyromyr| valign="top" | UI stuff would be for SeaMonkey, but should be portable to Thunderbird easily. Both would profit from backend fixes.|-| valign="top" | Real Mail Templates| valign="top" | Currently, mail templates are too static, their interaction with mails you respond to etc. is almost zero ({{bug|21210}}, {{bug|107876}} and others). It would be an enourmous progress if we could have variables like $$EMailAddress$$, $$QuotedBody$$, $$Date$$, $$CustomVariable(with Parameter)$$ in a template which get filled in when replying or composing.| valign="top" | Mnyromyr| valign="top" | Mnyromyr| valign="top" | UI stuff would be for SeaMonkey, but should be portable to Thunderbird easily. Both would profit from backend fixes.|-| valign="top" | Score Filter| valign="top" | A score filter ({{bug|151622}}) would associate an integer with every message. This integer could then be changed by filter actions like "Increase by x", "Set to Y", etc. and have itself filter criteria like "If score is lower than A", "If score has value B", etc. Several other message properties alterable by filter actions (like isJunk or isThread) would need to be made usable as filter criteria for that for full points. In toto, this would allow for very fine-grained message control.| valign="top" | Mnyromyr| valign="top" | Mnyromyr| valign="top" | UI stuff would be for SeaMonkey, but should be portable to Thunderbird easily.

| valign="top" | PGP signature support would probably be easiest to build on top of Enigmail extension. See Metalink which supports associating MD5/SHA1 hashes and PGP signatures with files, and [http://microformats.org/wiki/hash-examples hash microformat] for embedding within a page.<br><br>Making three extra 404 hits on a website for each file downloaded is not a friendly thing to do (remember favicon.ico) - Gerv

| valign="top" | Add tabbed messages support for Thunderbird
| valign="top" | Tabbed message reading is a highly demanded feature for Thunderbird and was on the planned feature list for version 2, but missed the bus and currently there is nobody working on it. Having to change the selected folder and/or message or opening a new window decreases productivity (increases waste of time). The new message pane should also be available for the tabbed view. See [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=297379 Bug 297379] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=218999 Bug 218999]

Needless to say, I {can/would like} to get dirty in implementing this along with the student (In case of time constraints).<br><br>Shyam: mentors need to have Mozilla community experience. A mentor is not a co-worker by another name :-) - Gerv

There is also no central repository for downloading plugins, or a standard way to install them. This task would be to make it easy for developers to write plugins, make it easy for administrators to install them, and write a useful sample plugin that demonstrates all of this. | valign="top" | [[User:MaxKanatAlexander|mkanat]]| valign="top" | [[User:MaxKanatAlexander|mkanat]]| valign="top" |Gerv

| valign="top" | "Search as you Type in addressbar" extension
| valign="top" | [[User:jigarashah|jigar shah]]
| valign="top" | Most of the time user want to find a page on a particular website; say mozilla developer, He goes to that website and browses through all available links. If when he starts typing in addressbar he gets suggestions based on his bookmarks and History it will reduce his search time. This is easy to do in Firefox 3 since there are plans to add SQLLite in FF3. Don't know about possibilities for FF2.
