SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: April 6, 2010, 12:00 UTC
• Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

Agenda

• Who's taking minutes? -> Not 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 they don't want additional specific consumers of the service right now and want to enable some general way of accessing it "some time" - We can only wait right now.
  • KaiRo had some more discussions with both the Google and the Mozilla contact. No easy solution in sight. Also, discussing a possible open Geolocation service.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0.4

• Shipped on March 30.
• Synched up with Thunderbird 3.0.4 and Firefox 3.5.9 (Gecko 1.9.1.9).

SeaMonkey 2.0.5

open blockers (2) blocker requests (0) fixed (17)

• Based on Gecko 1.9.1.10, tentatively targeted for May 11, exact schedule TDB, see Releases.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 56 new, 19 fixed, 18 triaged.

• More new, less fixed, much less triaged than earlier - net gain of bugs in our component.
• KaiRo did a post on possible triage targets, ashughes has offered to do a Mozilla bugday on SeaMonkey - now scheduled for April 20, we're looking for a good bug query to give people to work on there. Suggestions?

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

• bug 423281 Help updates.
  • status/progress?
  • bug 463903 (form autocomplete documentation).
  • FAQ to cover e.g. double-click / down arrow in form fields?
    • No progress to report.
• 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 1.9.1.10 bug 364864 (nsICategoryManager::deleteCategoryEntry does not persist outside of component registration).
  • status/progress?

  • kaze has done a ton of work there. We're still trying to work out some organizational issues.
