Action items from last meetings

• [Standard8] Are WADA, Aryx, Chiaki Ishikawa, JosiahOne and jcranmer from previous nomination covered already for swag?
  • Standard8 is on it, but needs to dig through some info in his inbox.
• [mconley]
  • Thunderbird usage data isn’t public. Standard8 was tasked with getting that information released. What’s the status on that?
    • Metrics is still needinfo’d on getting non-staff community added to usage metrics report emails

Critical Issues

• [rkent] Binary add-on issue with TB 24?
  • jcranmer and irving suggest speaking with Fallen – they suspect this is fixed.
  • The builds that came out for 24.1 timeframe release did not fix the bug that rkent is talking about – but extra numbers have been added to AMO to mark compatibility (you’ll need to do rebuilds to side-step the compat issue).

Round Table

• jcranmer
  • Working on converting JSMime into a separate repository (thanks to James Burke for being patient with me and my packaging issues!)
    • The separate repository will be JSMime 0.2, as I have decided to rework the API to be more idiot-proof
    • Tests are now up-to-date for comm-central, need to port tests for RFC 2047 and address header encoding/decoding
    • Not announcing this more widely public yet, since the conversion process is very messy and I want to embed reviews from the start.
  • Alder is now reserved for the final stages of ccrework, and I should be in contact with releng on getting this done.
  • Some minor build-engineering work with moz.build conversions or ontology
  • Still awaiting review from Neil.
• JosiahOne (No outgoing audio)
  • Been busy with exams last week, so I didn’t accomplish as much as I wished.
  • I have started re-organizing the directory/file/image structure inside themes/.
  • I plan to create a shared themes directory similar to Firefox unless the build peers/owners are against it.
  • Waiting on review from Mike Conley for the animated thunderbird tabs.
• clokep
  • Still working on the IB->c-c chat/ update, waiting on reviews from Florian now.
  • Was at the GSoC Mentors Summit ([1])
    • A lot of people told me they were happy we were still working on Thumderbird!
    • A lot of people thought Thunderbird had been killed -> more on this in my blog post
• mconley
  • Patch to allow us to use nsIPermissionManager to store mail content preferences is up for review. \o/
  • I wrote some mail to tb-planning about the AMO to Marketplace move, and what that means for Thunderbird (and SeaMonkey).
  • Did more reviews, but they’re starting to stack up again
• Paenglab
  • Waiting for feedback from mconley for bug 925746

Question Time

• [clokep] Do we still need to use tb-planning? I’m STILL moderated on it after an insane amount of time using it.
  • Can we switch back to using m.d.a.thunderbird? If we have issues with “idiots”, we can always moderate it. (I want my nntp back.)
  • Alternately, can we freely give out posting privileges to people.

Action Items

• [mconley] Ask jorgev if Marketplace merge would accept patches to make Thunderbird work there…
• [mconley] Can we pull jb into this AMO discussion? Can we get an advocate higher up the Mozilla-chain? jb+gerv?
• [mconley] Talk to bwinton and see if we can get “the regulars” whitelisted on tb-planning.
