Thunderbird Meeting Details

Agenda

Action Items

  • Hg integration of calendar (see long thread on the planning newsgroup)
    • Philip and KaiRo were here, but not bsmedberg, so punting
    • dmose to set up next meeting
    • Other issues:
      • Scalability
      • Easier to go from two repos to one than vice versa (?)
      • hg has slower initial download (is it important?)
      • What should the structure be?
  • How should we plan to QA alpha2?
    • nth10sd's last week -> need new QA
    • 5 platforms for litmus test & BST for Windows
      • XP, Vista, OS X (PPC), OS X (Intel), Linux
      • Need someone to take up head QA (wsmwk?)
      • One person to take each (one could take multiple platforms)
  • Future milestones
    • Current schedule gives for 5 milestones through March
    • RC 1 in January or March?
      • January - beta 1 comes after alpha 2
      • March - less time for slippage
    • Date-driven release, not feature-driven
    • Probably better to do sooner rather than shiny new features

Closed

  • Use of priorities
    • Not much use for wanted-alpha, use priorities instead?
    • blocking-alpha, blocking-3, wanted-3 keep
    • No objections to strategy

Thunderbird:Shredder a2

  • Blockers:
    • Most (all but two) with an owner
    • Keep list shrinking

QA Updates

  • bugday keeps on chugging
    • last week set yet another new record for bugs changed and touched
    • From the current foci: IMAP UNCOnfirmed dropped 16% in last 12 days, estimate similar if not greater drop in next 2 weeks; UNCOnfirmed "recent bugs with no responses" and "General" - counts not going up, but also not going down
    • this week - hopefully with 3 staffed sessions (more likely 2?)
  • Note the impending bmo reorg (date TBD), and concurrent, proposed mailnews cleanup. Feedback needed. bugmail warning
  • The above activities affect the mailnews subset of bugs from previously proposed "patch day", which intends to review and clean up "old patches". The proposed mailnews cleanup suggests triaging/touching this subset now, before the reorg+cleanup hits.

Roundtable

dmose

  • last formal week of internship
    • no worries, I will still be around in IRC / Bugzilla / email though. :)
    • may be sporadic in the next few weeks after Friday though.
    • all in all, I hope I finish my internship with Thunderbird in a better state than it was in, when I first started months ago.

  • Address Book
    • bug 439320 Use timed textbox for quick searches
    • bug 437619 Unfork and co-locate the common js code relating to the results pane window
      • Currently awaiting reviews, once this is fixed will be able to fix bug 438035 which will fix the issues with nsAbView
  • Automated Testing
    • Most of POP3 fakeserver implementation written, some issues with socket closing/reconnection. Possibly won't pick up again until after Shredder a2.

  • OS X Address Book
