Experiments
Thunderbird Conversations
- Bugfixes, released a3, then a4 and a5 because of last-minute issues that hadn’t been spotted so far. Feedback seems positive on the mozilla-labs Google Group.
- Wrote a chapter of the Thunderbird FLOSS about Thunderbird Conversations, translated it to French, once it’s released and integrated in the public version of the FLOSS Manual, will point AMO, the wiki and everything to that page as the official reference for documentation.
- Still the usual polish and minor improvements.

Account Summary
Ubuntu Unity Integration
- Unity Launcher extension C++ backend chucked in favour of jsctypes
- This means that machine architecture compatibility is no longer an issue. Nice!
- I’ve started work on integrating our contacts with the Ubuntu One service.
- Did a quick survey on prior efforts in this area.
- This will be harder than it sounds, since RDF prevents us from easily adding new types of address books with Javascript
- Work has begun to de-RDF the address book UI
Trunk (Miramar) Development
- Alpha 3 released
- Branching for mozilla-2.0
- thread on tb-planning
- Should be happening today (mozilla-central is likely to re-open tomorrow).
- Expect different tinderbox trees.
- Will get info on tb-planning today asap.
- Expect comm-central and mozilla-central to break soon.
- Help on fixing blockers would be very useful and appreciated, see this list of higher priority bugs.
