SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: September 22, 2009, 12:00 UTC
• Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

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

• Kairo to contact MoFo on doing a SeaMonkey 2.0 press release.

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.
  • KaiRo emailed Google again this weekend, no reply yet.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0 Beta 2

• SHIPPED on Sep 12!
  • 16 locales made it, including en-US we have 17 languages.
  • Compared to 2.0b1, nl is new, but cs didn’t make it.
  • http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/2.0b2#contrib has Fedora RPMs from ajschult and OS/2 builds. No other contributed builds including 64bit builds have come up so far.
  • Hendikins has just put up the x86_64 builds for linux on his site.
• Feedback:
  • de had a broken string that breaks SMTP auth, fixed for nightlies.
  • Feedback is good, including the possibility of testing Lightning with it.
  • One or two users are having download problems. The issue seems to disappear if logged in as admin.
  • The usual web browser discrimination. FaceBook, Yahoo! Mail, Hotmail Live, ComCast, etc.
  • Feedback has been generally positive otherwise.

SeaMonkey 2.0 Final

open blockers (7)
blocker requests (2)
open wanted (30)
wanted requests (1)

• Need to get blockers fixed, some are unowned as of now, need to get assigned.
• Schedule:
  • Proposal: String freeze Oct 1, Code freeze Oct 6.
  • Spin first RC right after code freeze with locales that are ready.
  • Let locales continue to opt in until we feel OK with shipping a later RC as the actual final.
  • Thunderbird might be string freezing shortly earlier, code freezing possibly later, but going with a longer period to actual final.
  • Freeze on October 6th should allow at least a week of string freeze for final and allow us for some time of candidate testing, whether we push them as public RC releases or not.
  • The final string freeze for Thunderbird 3.0 is September 29 […]. Thus, if Thunderbird checks in mailnews patches with string changes, that leaves people working on SM Help some 48 hours to get respective patches done, reviewed, and checked in to reflect such changes in the documentation. Sounds rather tight… [rsx11m via Mozillazine].
    • Help can have exceptions to the string freeze – we always have handled it that way. And nothing breaks if localizers are not 100% in sync with help docs.
• Branch planning is up in the air, Thunderbird drivers seem to think branching very closely to releasing their final is good, KaiRo thinks branching should happen before spinning our first RC. No compromise reached as of now.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 80 new, 47 fixed, 25 triaged.

• Open bugs continue to slightly increase, triaging is down in favor of more bugfixes, many of the new bugs are filed by the team as followups to work being done.
• The rate of fixed bugs continues to be high in the run up to 2.0.

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0

• Toolbar customization aftermath [Ratty]
  • Still something to be done for 2.0?
  • bug 509209 Implement Customizable Toolbars in SeaMonkey Message Compose. Has r+/sr+. Patch waiting for checkin.
  • bug 481862 We still need small button icons for modern in MailNews. Needs someone who understands both css and svg/graphics. Misak plans to do the small buttons minor placement fixes on svg, Ratty – css.
  • Addressbook and HTML Composer toolbars. Push to 2.1.
• bug 456757 Modern theme update [Ratty]
  • bug 465924 Modern Update: changes in global/. All necessary patches have landed. Except possibly for bug 490277 (Update video controls), the remaining dependent bugs are nice to have polish but not blocking anything (imho).
• bug 348720 New icon set for “SeaMonkey Default Theme”
  • status/progress?
  • Really need something moving for 2.0 final!
  • A list of TODO icons is up in the bug
  • KaiRo has a patch up for task icons, help wanted for other icons!
• bug 460953 kill-rdf port [sgautherie]
  • The kill-rdf work is basically at the state we’ll ship in 2.0; the rest will have to move to 2.1.
• bug 508039 “Know Your Rights” [mcsmurf]
  • On track to make the string freeze.
• bug 442167 “New add-on installed” notification [sgautherie]
  • Review issues need to be addressed. Should make 2.0.
• bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
  • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
• bug 506724 bug 397236 bug 472873 Help updates (more in bug 423281)
  • helpwanted, anyone can help here!

We also should take a careful look at the other items on wanted-seamonkey2.0+

If there’s anything on that list you think we shouldn’t take for 2.0 any more, please notify KaiRo, so we can push them to 2.1.

2.1

• 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.

  • unowned so far.
• bug 498596 places bookmarks
  • unowned so far.

Any other business?

• People need to write some blog posts for the SeaMonkey blog to show off what SM2 features. Mnyromyr needs to write a summary on tabmail anyway, so he can make a blog post from that as well.
• As a note, KaiRo wrote up a SeaMonkey Privacy Policy page for SeaMonkey along with an update to the geolocation doc up there.
• KaiRo wants to do an interview series on the SeaMonkey blog with SeaMonkey 2 contributors to highlight the dev community – up to 25 people on the list right now!
