SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> 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

  • We need bug 483980 back-ported from trunk to fix our History Import bug bug 484175. Ratty to raise the issue in mozilla.dev.planning.

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

  • Triage of the remaining blocker nominations?
  • Beta 1 freeze today at 23:50 PDT
  • Blocker bug 484175 (History Import from SeaMonkey 1.1.x is not working): how can we progress? Do we need to really block this Beta on that problem?
    • The fix depends on back-porting bug 483980 from trunk back to 1.9.1.
    • Nobody else seems to have noticed the problem (no duplicates) and there is a workaround.
    • No objections to moving this bug from b1+ to b1- and b2+ and to relnote it.
  • We need start a wiki page to list the things we should relnote for B2 including the password issue.
  • Tabmail is still missing. It needs a bit more work and reviews, but it’s reaching a usable state. It will not make this beta so we will push this to b2.
  • We are ready to roll 2.0b1 builds as soon as we have L10n cutoff.

SeaMonkey 2 Beta 2

Bug Queries

open blockers (2)
all blockers (2)
blocker requests (3)

  • We might want to take bug 474701 depending on how it works out in Thunderbird.
  • Tabmail is the largest missing feature.
    • Prerequisite for Lightning which we would like to support in final.
  • According to Standard8 a rough estimate for the Thunderbird 3.0b4 cycle would be four to eight weeks.

Longer-Term SeaMonkey 2 Planning

open wanted (11)
wanted requests (21)

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 34 new, 15 fixed, 38 triaged.

Major wanted/needed features:

  • Download manager aftermath:
    • bug 474622 Enable action keys (Del, Enter, Space) and double click in new Download Manager – landed
    • bug 490464 Update the Download pref pane for use with new DLMGR – landed
  • Toolbar customization aftermath:
    • bug 481862 We still need small button icons for modern in MailNews. Ratty will work with Misak to get the small icons finished.
  • bug 460960 Port Thunderbird tabbed interface to MailNews.
    • A new patch has been submitted and is undergoing reviews. Most of the remaining issues are cosmetic.
  • 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.
    • stefanh has done some work on Mac but hasn’t posted anything new yet.
  • 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 either Beta2 or 2.next.
  • 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.
