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

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 twice weeks ago, no reply yet, even though the MoCo geolocation contact has poked the Google contact as well.
    • KaiRo will try again to get this process restarted.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0 Feedback

Only unresolved items are tracked here – and we should find a way to deal with it for every item talked about in this section!

  • The new Password and Form Managers seem to be hard for people to grasp. There is an existing documentation bug, bug 463903 for form autocomplete.
  • Need for a form history editor to edit/delete incorrect entries. We can make use of an existing bug (bug 480734) to track a native Forms editor.
  • Need some sort of FAQ on the SeaMonkey site to cover issues such as a simple pointer to double-click / down arrow in form fields.
  • Cut&paste problem in connection with McAfee Site Advisor (bug 525601) is being worked on – we seem to have something on our side and they apparently also fixed something in an update.
  • bug 539194 Possible bug: MailNews reported as high CPU being caused by having news downloaded without bounds, i.e. no purging. This could explain some people reporting 2.0 is slow as well due to large email or news folders causing blocked main threads when getting messages. Allegedly bug 311774 introduced the slowness.

SeaMonkey 2.0.2

Shipped with only the Mail Compose (OE Contacts) freeze fix/workaround on top of 2.0.1 and very small Gecko updates (1.9.1.7) – the next normal update from 1.9.1 has been renamed to 2.0.3.

  • Generally positive feedback on mozillazine.
  • Users are impressed at the smooth problem free update.
  • The perception is that several minor updates got fixed. People are now more confident with the 2.0x series.
  • Noticeable progress has made people happier. Their particular problems might not have been fixed in this point release but they are now willing to wait instead of reverting to 1.1.x.

SeaMonkey 2.0.3

open blockers (2)
blocker requests (2)
fixed (30)

  • Planned release for 16 February and will be based on Gecko 1.9.1.7. The regular update based on 1.9.1.8 has been pushed back slightly by KaiRo.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 49 new, 17 fixed, 30 triaged (61/18/44 for the weeks before).

  • Reporting continued unbroken over holidays, fixing/triaging dropped as expected.
  • We should still do more triaging, esp. starting to look at trashing 1.x-only bugs as well (and see if any still happen on 2.x).

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

  • bug 423281 Help updates.
    • No progress.
  • bug 483282 Make sure normal SeaMonkey use doesn’t pay a price for having venkman installed.
    • Needs at least a core patch landing for 1.9.1.8 bug 364864 nsICategoryManager::deleteCategoryEntry does not persist outside of component registration.
    • No progress. Mnyromyr will try to get this moving.
  • bug 471346 Port GetDefaultFeedReader to SeaMonkey shell service. New patch needed.
    • mcsmurf will look into updating the patch.

2.1

  • bug 460953 kill-rdf port [sgautherie]
    • Postponed until mcsmurf (or sgautherie) can resume work on it.
  • bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
    • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
  • 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.
  • bug 449728 drag tabs between windows
    • unowned so far.
  • bug 498596 places bookmarks
    • unowned so far.
  • bug 480734 Satchel data editor (“Form Manager”)
    • unowned so far.
  • bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 1.9.1) Composer
    • Will look into that once KompoZer 0.8 is done.
  • bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer
    • Will look into that once KompoZer 0.8 are done.
  • bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set
    • status/progress?
    • A list of TODO icons is up in the bug
    • Still needs quite a bit of work.
    • bug 522023 is working on improving the browser globe in task icons, etc..
  • bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.
    • unowned so far.
  • bug 521927 Make Search, Folder Location and Views widgets for MailNews customizable toolbars.
    • IanN is working on a revised patch.

We also should take a look at the other items on wanted-seamonkey2.1+

Can we plan for a rough alpha/beta schedule with a hoped for release date of 2.1 in let’s say, July?

  • When we can actually go for a release heavily depends on Gecko roadmap/planning, but it’s not yet clear if Firefox/Roadmap or Talk:Firefox/Roadmap or a mix of both will be what they end up doing.
  • We should go for smaller releases to ease upgrade paths for users. If we need to push back one or the other feature to the next smaller release, so be it, but we should stay closer to the Geckos Firefox is shipping as current.
