Documentation

Support

  1. Top 5 GS Thunderbird 2 Support Topics (code in progress: http://gist.github.com/190923 ) basically the same as last week, false alarm from McAfee for all non en-US versions (tested with German and GB versions
    1. Cannot send email (long drawn out GoDaddy problem which turned out to be the DSL provider, an AT&T reseller blocking outbound SMTP traffic to GoDaddy’s server)
    2. Cannot receive email
    3. migration to Vista and Windows 7 –Windows 7 64 bit + nvidia nview desktop = Saving attachments not working
    4. McAfee finds trojan – Roland to follow up with Carsten on German version false positive
    5. email lost (fixed by compacting folders and deleting .msf)
  2. Thunderbird 3 Beta Top Support Issues (starting to monitor to see what we can improve for post 3.0)
    1. Freezing intermittently when replying
  3. SUMO for MoMo tracker ticket: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=520628, TB3 Global Database KB\
    1. 1st crude iteration of MoMo SUMO theme by contractor Gary Cunningham-Lee who did the original SUMO theme, gozer is going to give him a sandbox to accelerate theme work so he can get it done quicker
    2. German student is going to write Lightning Docs in English first then German
  4. Key Support stats from the following graphic:
    1. approximately 23/ day (162/7, slightly lower than last week if we subtract the Raindrop topics)
    2. total new topics:162 total replies: 98 (Ruby Code)
      1. date:20091103 #new support topics:27 resolved: 9
      2. date:20091104 #new support topics:27 resolved: 6
      3. date:20091105 #new support topics:25 resolved: 11

    3. #replies from non MoMo folks: 5 from TMZ (thanks!) 2 from gyurrika (thanks!), MoMo folks: 5 from Wayne Mery (thanks and welcome!) 63 from Roland, 1 from Andreas (thanks!), Bienvenu 21 (thanks!), 2 from Standard8 (thanks), 3 from Kent James (thanks and welcome!)
    4. happiness metric: API doesn’t have happiness emotitags, asked GS staff about that, code in progress: http://gist.github.com/190094, manual happiness metric = 98 – 62 = 36 (26 last week), 53 Hendrix messages (generally Hendrix messages are unhappy but this week we had 2 happy messages from Thunderbird lovers, 1 wanted us to run our own email service! Thanks!) – bug to track down Hendrix for Thunderbird 3 and get rid of it as much as possible

I’ve been continuing to get my extensions ready for release, but I still hope to squeeze bug 527629 into TB3, as it is a one-line fix of a regression from TB2 that will cause a lot of pain to POP3 users who rely on manual filters.
