SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?
    • Callek for his awesome work with Release Engineering.
    • Tonymec for bug triage and helping answer questions on the newsgroups.

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

  • Mnyromyr to coordinate the SeaMonkey response to this years Google Summer of Code.

CLOSED

K.I.V.

  • Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. We can still only wait on the Google front right now. Didn’t hear anything about open Geolocation service yet. No easy solution in sight.
    • At the “State of the Map – Europe” OpenStreetMap conference, KaiRo will try to get people to team up and create an open service.
  • MReimer’s drawing tablet broke some time back so he stopped working on theme icons. We should look into asking Mozilla’s Direct Giving Program [adriank].
    • MReimer 1) is not sure if he needs this and 2) wants to put this on hold until he gets more time to actually work more on SeaMonkey.
    • Note: Mozilla Direct Giving contact is sethb. However sethb is leaving Mozilla after FF4, no idea who will take over the Community Giving stuff then.

SeaMonkey 2.0.14

open blockers (0)
blocker requests (0)
fixed (27)

  • Based on Gecko 1.9.1.19, target April 19, see Releases, in sync with Firefox 3.5.19.

SeaMonkey 2.1 Beta 3

open blockers (0)
blocker requests (0)
targeted (0)
fixed (113)

  • Firefox 4.0 has been released.
  • Beta 3 is the final feature and string freeze for the 2.1 series.
    • As of 3rd April, Midnight PDT, SeaMonkey has been locked under string freeze.
  • Shipped Extensions: Chatzilla and Venkman are fixed and installed into the profile now.
  • beta3 will be spun on 4th April as soon as l10n signoffs are ready, and then we will go for release (candidate) also as fast as possible.
    • (InvisibleSmiley:) AFAICT b3 is almost ready to roll!.
    • We missed a step with the L10n dashboard that should have been done right after Beta 2. Unfortunately, the guy to do this is Pike and he’s off to Las Vegas until later today.
    • KaiRo plans to do the signoffs today, even if those are still marked for b2 for the moment, but we need to get ready for b3, and maybe we can kick it off without the dashboard being ready.
    • Don’t fear being aggressive with blocker triage, If it isn’t needed it doesn’t block. By that same token, if you are able to fix a blocker please try and work on them before tackling any other bugs. All blocker patches have landed on the tree and we are feature-complete now! At least that’s the idea, we hope the MailNews guys won’t give us any more headaches.
    • Help patches can go in after b3 as string freeze doesn’t affect Help.

Further 2.1 scheduling:

  • Please help updating the New 2.1 Features page as we go.
  • Beta 3 should be followed by 2.1pre and our own release (candidate), which can possibly be based on Gecko 2.0.1 (which is now guaranteed to come).
  • We should release within 6 weeks from FF4, but we should not release in the two weeks following FF4 final due to media being all about that release.
  • Managing the branching (or not) of comm-central for comm-20 will depend on the Messaging people, and they always want to push out branching to the last possible moment.
  • There might not be any more official security updates to the 1.9.1 branch after the upcoming one, so we should get a stable release based on Mozilla 2.0 out as soon as we can.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 64 new, 53 fixed, 21 triaged.

Open reviews/flags:
37 review
11 super-review
0 ui-review
5 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

2.1

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled
Active
  • bug 570004 Popup/”doorhanger” notifications [Neil].
    • Implementation moved to bug 595810.
    • Only lwthemes doorhangers are left to do.
    • NO l10n-impact
  • bug 606683 Allow customization of toolbar in Composer and MailNews Composition [IanN].
    • A lot of untangling needs to go on between the 3 editors that we have. We can expect a bit of code cleanup for 2.1 but full customization will probably go 2.next as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.
  • bug 581526 Add SeaMonkey support for the Windows 7 jump list [mcsmurf].
    • landed!
  • bug 627240 Consider shipping built-in extensions as being installed into profiles [KaiRo]
    • landed!
  • bug 601493 no “plugin crashed” UI [Ratty].
    • landed!
  • bug 521159 [SeaMonkey 2.1] Port |bug 514327 Detect outdated plugins and offer upgrade path|.
    • landed!
  • bug 573538 No options for Safe-Mode [InvisibleSmiley].
    • landed!

We also should take a look at the other items on 2.1-wanted
Also the nominations need triaging.

  • We will need to take a close look at Lightning, which is mainly targeting Thunderbird.
    • Lightning 1.0b4 seems to be targeted to be Gecko 2.0-based.
    • Due to recent Lightning patches/fixes, Lightning nightlies are now working again on SM trunk.

2.next

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled
  • bug 460953 kill-rdf port.
  • bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
    • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
  • bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
  • bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 2.0) Composer. [kaze]
    • kaze is currently busy with his new job so doesn’t have much time to spend on this.
    • bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
    • kaze has done a ton of work there. We still need to work out some organizational issues. At the moment there is no active interest from MoMo for bringing standalone composer into comm-central. That’s something we (KaiRo and kaze) will have to negotiate with the Thunderbird team (dmose).
  • bug 507841 Port Bug 422814 – Make account configuration quick, easy, and more secure (autoconfig, Quick Account Setup).
  • bug 533908 SeaMonkey Mail: tabs not restored [misak].
  • bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
  • bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.
    • bug 548778 New communicator icons (based on Strata theme) for SeaMonkey. Some proposed icons got posted, we should take a look how to get that contribution into the product.
    • The rest is unowned so far.
  • bug 87098 [SeaMonkey] Delete key should delete location bar history list entry.
    • No l10n impact
    • (InvisibleSmiley: ) Neil said “Actually our location bar history doesn’t and can’t use autocomplete at all.”, moving to 2.next.

For now only a drop zone for those that surely will not make 2.1 any more.
