SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: December 14, 2010, 13:00 UTC
• Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

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

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.

blocker requests (5)
targeted (3)
fixed (67)

(Further 2.1 scheduling:)

• Please help updating the New 2.1 Features page as we go.
• Plans for 2.1: 6-8 weeks per milestone, b2 (feature freeze) probably in early December; final to be decided later.
  • We’ll probably close for the beta2 once SyncUI has landed.
• Unsure how this fits Firefox 4 plans as they are still trying to get to their feature freeze.
• Firefox 4 now officially being in early 2011, which gives us a bit more time.
  • As Firefox is now going RC in January, it makes sense to do a short-cycle b3 and try to match it with FF4RC. We can then make make b3 the final feature and string freeze, to be followed by 2.1pre.
• Beta 1 on PPC is broken.
  • We have stopped PPC builds.
  • We have converted our Mac boxes to 64bit switched Mac trunk to Intel 32/64bit universal builds.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 31 new, 27 fixed, 206 triaged.

• Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!
• SeaMonkey Triage Week – Report:
  • 32 bugs moved to other products
  • 201 bugs triaged in product SeaMonkey
  • 44 bugs marked as CLOSEME 2011-02-01
  • 14 bugs marked CLOSEME INVA/WONT?
  • Unfortunately there were very few people outside the regular team and there weren’t that many people doing triage. Perhaps the announcement was too short in time before the actual triage week.
  • Next time, we should try to get an article on QMO. Aleksej seemed interested.
  • Also doing smaller packages in shorter sprints e.g. 2 to 3 days would be less exhausting. In the second half of the week, the triage rate dropped significantly.

Open reviews/flags:
46 review
17 super-review
0 ui-review
3 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

2.1

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 job hunting 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 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
  • A list of TODO icons is up in the bug.
• 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.
  • 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.
• bug 507841 Port Bug 422814 – Make account configuration quick, easy, and more secure (autoconfig, Quick Account Setup).
• bug 573538 No options for Safe-Mode.
• bug 521159 [SeaMonkey 2.1] Port |bug 514327 Detect outdated plugins and offer upgrade path|

  • Implementation moved to bug 595810.
  • Done for geolocation, pwmgr and addonmgr. Except for lwthemes, which in firefox is currently a frankennotification. The install success is a notificationbox but the needs restart is a doorhanger.

  • mcsmurf isn’t around to report.
• bug 576970 Port Sync UI to SeaMonkey trunk [InvisibleSmiley]

• bug 484968 Make SeaMonkey tab bar scrollable to cope with tab overflow [Ratty].
  • Fixed ui-review comments from stefanh. Waiting for review from IanN.
• bug 588067 Switch SeaMonkey to use omnijar for nightly/release builds [KaiRo]
  • A first patch is up for review, slightly more work and testing needed for other platforms and edge cases.

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 1.0 beta 1 is for SM2.0 and TB3.0, 1.0 beta 2 is for TB3.1 (Gecko 1.9.2), 1.0 beta 3 will be Gecko 2.0-based.

Any other business?

• William saying that not all people sent their reimbursement papers for the Vienna meeting, that’s why he hasn’t processed them.
  • Has William written to the people where he’s missing something? Some people (like Aqualon) don’t need any reimbursement for example.
• When Mozilla 2.0 branches, we’ll move to having 2.1* be fromm comm-central + mozilla-2.0, so is it OK to make comm-central + mozilla-central be 2.2a1pre then?
  • 2.5 or 3.0 would be nice. However since that’s some time in the future we can decide later but at the moment we should set the trunk to 2.2a1pre after mozilla-2.0 branches. We can always change version numbers to something, higher, but not something lower (due to the update system).
• Due to the Christmas holidays, most people won’t be around much on the 28th so the next meeting shall be in four weeks time on 11th January, same Bat Channel, same Bat Time!
