SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: April 19, 2011, 12:00 UTC
• Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

Agenda

• Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty
• Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?

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

• Mnyromyr to coordinate the SeaMonkey response to this years Google Summer of Code.

CLOSED

K.I.V.

• Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. We can still only wait on the Google front right now. Didn't hear anything about open Geolocation service yet. No easy solution in sight.
  • At the "State of the Map - Europe" OpenStreetMap conference, KaiRo will try to get people to team up and create an open service.

SeaMonkey 2.0.14

open blockers (1) blocker requests (0) fixed (27)

• Based on Gecko 1.9.1.19, target April 26, see Releases, in sync with Firefox 3.5.19.
• Pushed to "beta" overnight, no announcement for testers sent yet, any Council free to do it for me --Justin Wood (Callek)

SeaMonkey 2.1 Beta 3

targeted (0) fixed (119)

• Has been SHIPPED on 08 April, ~3300 downloads so far, ~500 ADU.

SeaMonkey 2.1

open blockers (6) blocker requests (2) targeted (2) fixed (9)

• Firefox 4.0 was released on 22nd March.
• Don't fear being aggressive with blocker triage, If it isn't needed it doesn't block. By that same token, if you are able to fix a blocker please try and work on them before tackling any other bugs.
• Help patches can go in at anytime.

Further 2.1 scheduling:

• Please help updating the New 2.1 Features page as we go.
• 2.1pre should be followed by our release (candidate), which most likely will be based on Gecko 2.0.1 (which is now available).
• Callek started the branch process for comm-20 on 18 April.
• We should release within 6 weeks from FF4.
• There might not be any more official security updates to the 1.9.1 branch after the upcoming one, so we should get a stable release based on Mozilla 2.0 out as soon as we can.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 44 new, 24 fixed, 24 triaged.

• Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!

Open reviews/flags: 33 review 11 super-review 0 ui-review 6 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

2.1

Active

• bug 570004 Popup/"doorhanger" notifications [Neil].
  • Implementation moved to bug 595810.
  • Only lwthemes doorhangers are left to do.
  • NO l10n-impact
• bug 606683 Allow customization of toolbar in Composer and MailNews Composition [IanN].
  • A lot of untangling needs to go on between the 3 editors that we have. We can expect a bit of code cleanup for 2.1 but full customization will probably go 2.next as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.

We also should take a look at the other items on 2.1-wanted Also the nominations need triaging.

• We will need to take a close look at Lightning, which is mainly targeting Thunderbird.
  • Lightning 1.0b4 seems to be targeted to be Gecko 2.0-based.
  • Due to recent Lightning patches/fixes, Lightning nightlies are now working again on SM trunk.

2.next

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled

• bug 460953 kill-rdf port.
• bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
  • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
• bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
• bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 2.0) Composer. [kaze]
  • kaze is currently busy with his new job so doesn't have much time to spend on this.
  • bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
  • kaze has done a ton of work there. We still need to work out some organizational issues. At the moment there is no active interest from MoMo for bringing standalone composer into comm-central. That's something we (KaiRo and kaze) will have to negotiate with the Thunderbird team (dmose).
• bug 507841 Port Bug 422814 - Make account configuration quick, easy, and more secure (autoconfig, Quick Account Setup).
• bug 533908 SeaMonkey Mail: tabs not restored [misak].
• bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
  • A list of TODO icons is up in the bug.
  • MattATobin and MReimer arewere looking into this.
• bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.
  • bug 548778 New communicator icons (based on Strata theme) for SeaMonkey. Some proposed icons got posted, we should take a look how to get that contribution into the product.
  • The rest is unowned so far.
• bug 87098 [SeaMonkey] Delete key should delete location bar history list entry.
  • No l10n impact
  • (InvisibleSmiley: ) Neil said "Actually our location bar history doesn't and can't use autocomplete at all.", moving to 2.next.

For now only a drop zone for those that surely will not make 2.1 any more.
