SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who's taking minutes? -> ???

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn't been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

  • KaiRo will solicit opinions on whether to use the new "pretty names" system for our release builds that Firefox and Thunderbird are using.

OPEN

  • Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says: "We don't have a good estimate for when GLS will be opening up more broadly, but I will be sure to let you know when we take that step. Sorry that I can not be more specific at this time." - We can only wait right now.


CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2 Beta 1

Bug Queries

open blockers (1) all blockers (2) blocker requests (2)

  • SeaMonkey developers will need to nominate bugs that they think should be considered for blocking Beta 1.
    • IanN: more triage of the blocker nominations?
  • Tentative Beta 1 freeze date today?
    • Thunderbird 3.0 beta 3 dates?
    • We should consider discoupling this release from Thunderbird 3.0b3, as it's been a miserable failure to follow their non-existing schedule.
    • We shall also need to do a L10n freeze at that time. We hope to release L10n builds off the automated harness KaiRo is working on.
  • Blocker bug 484175 (History Import from SeaMonkey 1.1.x is not working): how can we progress?
    • This is due to the order in which toolkit starts up. Discussions on various ways to fix this for SeaMonkey.
  • Tabmail is still missing. It needs a bit more work and reviews, but it's reaching a usable state.
    • Prerequisite for Lightning which we would like to support in final.

SeaMonkey 2 Beta 2

Bug Queries

open blockers (0) all blockers (0) blocker requests (2)

  • We might want to take bug 474701 depending on how it works out in Thunderbird.

Longer-Term SeaMonkey 2 Planning

open wanted (11) wanted requests (17)

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 29 new, 32 fixed, 43 triaged.

Major wanted/needed features:

  • Download manager aftermath:
    • update?
  • Toolbar customization aftermath:
    • update?
  • bug 460960 Port Thunderbird tabbed interface to MailNews.
    • status/update?
  • bug 456757 Modern theme update. prometeo has stepped up to work on this.
    • No News.
  • bug 460699 Make the default theme look better on mac.
    • No News.
  • bug 348720 New icon set for "SeaMonkey Default Theme".
    • No News.
  • bug 410613 OpenSearch. helpwanted.
    • We need to check if OpenSearch can support all our existing functionality, for example the INTEPRETS section in Sherlock search plugins. Mnyromyr will check on that, and on how extensible the Firefox code is.
    • We probably need to move this item to 2.next (or Beta 2?).
  • bug 460953 Port jminta's kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable.
    • There isn't any urgent need for progress on this as long as we don't break. It might be good for extensions if we to convert our folder pane to be JS-driven e.g. calendar wants to put items there.

Any other business?

  • Should we use the "pretty name" system used by FF (and IIRC TB as well) for our release builds?
    • We would have structures and names like win32/en-US/SeaMonkey Setup 2.0 Alpha 4.exe
  • Move comm-1.9.1/SeaMonkey-Ports boxes to production? (turning off the old configurations currently reporting to the SeaMonkey waterfall)
    • Would leave the Mac 10.4 unit test box running for a while
