SeaMonkey Meeting Details

<script>if (window.showTocToggle) { var tocShowText = “show”; var tocHideText = “hide”; showTocToggle(); } </script>

Agenda

  • Who’s taking minutes? -> Ratty
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?
    • werwolf
  • Is there a step after nomination? a vote? a blackball?
    • How about we use whatever rules they are using for Friends of the Tree [1]?
    • If we do it like “Friends of the Tree” in Mozilla, it’s just the notion that it’s there.
    • MoMo has been sending T-shirts to those people, but we can’t afford that at this moment.

Action Items

(who needs to do what that hasn’t been recorded in a bug) We should assign people to the open items.

NEW

  • IanN to email Fallen to get some cooperation for getting a version of Lightning that is compatible with SeaMonkey 2.1 out on AMO.

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.

SeaMonkey 2.0.14

open blockers (1)
blocker requests (0)
fixed (27)

  • Based on Gecko 1.9.1.19, target April 26, see Releases, in sync with Firefox 3.5.19.
  • Pushed to “beta” overnight, no announcement for testers sent yet, any Council free to do it for me —Justin Wood (Callek)
  • We are dependent on Fx 3.5.19 so if they respin due to bug 650522 so must we.

SeaMonkey 2.1 Beta 3

targeted (0)
fixed (119)

  • Has been SHIPPED on 08 April, ~3660 downloads and ~940 ADU so far,

SeaMonkey 2.1

open blockers (6)
blocker requests (2)
targeted (2)
fixed (9)

  • Firefox 4.0 was released on 22nd March.
  • 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.
  • Help patches can go in at anytime.

Further 2.1 scheduling:

  • Please help updating the New 2.1 Features page as we go.
  • 2.1pre should be followed by our release (candidate), which most likely will be based on Gecko 2.0.1 (which is now available).
  • Callek has been working on getting comm-2.0 branch in place and live which will be used for SM2.1.
    • Branch process for comm-20 started on 18 April.
  • We should release within 6 weeks from FF4.
    • We’re still on schedule for early May release.
  • 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: 44 new, 24 fixed, 24 triaged.

Open reviews/flags:
33 review
11 super-review
0 ui-review
6 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

2.1

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].
    • Moved to 2.next.

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.
    • IanN to email Fallen to get some cooperation for getting a version of Lightning that is compatible with SeaMonkey 2.1 out on AMO.

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.
    • A list of TODO icons is up in the bug.
    • MattATobin and MReimer arewere looking into this.
  • 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.

Active
  • 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 has to go to 2.next as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.

KaiRo

  • Talked through some crash analysis workflows in a CrashKill team meeting to be able to explain those to the Socorro team on the all-hands.
  • Refined my thoughts on prioritizing work somewhat.
  • Regularly generated “explosiveness” reports locally and uploaded them, looked at signatures it brought up, filed bugs where needed, commented on others, tried to point some to the right people to get them fixed.
  • Attended the Mozilla all-hands and discussed a lot of status and planning with a number of people in the CrashKill and Socorro teams as well as other Mozilla employees.
  • Created wiki pages and filed bugs for some outcomes from all-hands discussions.
  • Helped the SeaMonkey 2.0.13 release by getting the announcements out the door (bug 644287).
  • Got the new SeaMonkey 2.1b3 and 2.1pre versions up on crash-stats (bug 647935).
  • Landed the SeaMonkey patch for installing built-in extensions into the profile (bug 627240).
  • Did some reviews for SeaMonkey build and release infrastructure.
  • Got the train rolling again on new build machines for SeaMonkey (bug 572395).
  • Had some discussions at the all-hands with Standard8, khuey, ted and others on how to go forward on the comm-central build system.
  • Did some more updates to EarlyBlue and LCARStrek for SeaMonkey 2.1 and, for the latter, some more work to get it to run on Firefox 4.
  • Cared that L10n dashboard works for SeaMonkey with both the 2.1-targeted “branch” and the development trunk going forward.
  • Signed off locales for the SeaMonkey 2.1 Beta 3 release (bug 647637).
  • Did a number of updates of the German localization to catch up with all the changes leading up to the L10n freeze for SeaMonkey 2.1, and completed those in time for the Beta 3 release.
  • As usual, my blog has more detailed status about my work, and Mozilla Status Board Posts also tell about my next planned steps.

Misak

Mnyromyr

  • Did some reviews.
  • Working on Venkman bug 452288 Allow ignoring NS_ERROR_NO_INTERFACE errors.
  • This year’s gSoC proposals for Mozilla as such are very weak in toto, ideas for mail/news related stuff are very scarce — some remotely related seek to improve instant messsaging in Instandbird. SeaMonkey received no student applications. 🙁

stefanh

  • Did some reviews.
  • Working on:
    • bug 621546 [Mac Classic] Missing visual keyboard focus in MailNews filter edit dialog.
    • bug 643323 [Mac Default] Need disabled icon for ‘Subscribe to This Page’ in Bookmarks toolbar menu.
    • bug 649136 [Mac Default] directory.css shouldn’t use old-style icons.
    • bug 650642 [Pinstripe] Make the filterdialog and the advanced search dialogs look better [TB].

Any other business?

  • Another Triage Day or Triage Week.
    • A week was too long the last time. We don’t have the resources to tie up for a week.
    • We should limit it to two or three days mid-week. Contiguous days would be better so as not to lose momentum.
    • Any Triage event is probably feasible only after the Easter Holidays.
    • tonymec says that around mid-May preferably Wednesday thru Friday would be doable for him. So we have provisionally blocked off 18th-20th May, but we will need to confirm this at next status meeting in a fortnight.
    • Tentative suggestion: European evenings (20h-24h CEST) three days in a row but we need Aqualon’s feedback as he led the last Triage Event.
