What will be the new SeaMonkey official name?

The new Name is SeaMonkey. Please consult the Branding Page for more information on this.

What version numbers will be used for the new releases?

The first version will be 1.0, following alpha and beta builds. This is in order to distinguish the difference between the officially supported Mozilla Application Suite 1.7.x and the new community-supported SeaMonkey Suite. This has been done for the benefit of our business users who will need to make an informed decision about upgrade paths.
Subsequent versions may have the corresponding Firefox version numbers. This would reduce the confusion among users and developers about which releases have which features, and may make some browser-sniffing web pages work better.

When will a first build be released?

The name should be officially registered as a trademark before an alpha build is released. As we don't know when the trademark will be officially registered, we cannot offer a schedule at this time.

Where will the builds be hosted?

As the SeaMonkey Suite is a Mozilla Foundation project, SeaMonkey builds and release notes will be hosted on mozilla.org servers.

What can I do while waiting for the first release?

There's plenty of quality assurance work to be done. Grab a nightly build and join in!
