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 again more than 4 weeks ago and again last week, no reply yet, but the MoCo geolocation contact has now poked the Google contact as well.
  • KaiRo to contact MoFo on doing a SeaMonkey 2.0 press release. Current Status: talked with the MoCo press contact, said they can't do anything that costs money, but felt good about forwarding a roughly two-paragraph note to their contacts.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0 Final

open blockers (0) blocker requests (0) open wanted (15) wanted requests (8)

  • RC1 shipped on October 10, RC2 yesterday.
  • 164 fixed-seamonkey2.0 bugs (all post 2.0b2)!
  • Pushed venkman perf hit and GetDefaultReader to 2.0.1
    • The former needs at least a core patch landing for 1.9.1.5, the latter needs a new patch, we need progress on both fronts!
  • RC2 (and therefore probably final) has 19 official languages including en-US, as well as a beta/unofficial Turkish version (requested by localizer due to incomplete L10n). Any further L10n changes/additions go into 2.0.1 now.
  • Schedule:
    • All code is hard frozen on the relbranch, 1.9.1-based code is open for patches approved for 2.0.1 now.
      • This code is being forked off into comm-1.9.1 this week (Thursday?), comm-central will be completely open for 2.1-targeted work then.
    • If no roadblocks are found in RC2 testing, we will convert it to final in about a week.
    • We have set October 27 as the tentative release date (in sync with FF 3.5.4, btw).
  • We should make a push to get extension authors to make their extensions compatible with SeaMonkey 2.0. We should tell them that porting from Firefox to 2.0 is much easier.
    • Ratty will post to mozillazine and write something up for the SeaMonkey blog.

Any other business?

  • SeaMonkey blog interview series started with Neil. Mnyromyr did a really nice blog post on tabmail and other new mailnews features.
  • The Calendar devs don't want to take ownership of the modern lightning theme files as they don't have the manpower to maintain it so Ratty has proposed that the files live in suite/. Some discussion on exactly where, and in what format to package the files (theme? extension?) however no consensus was reached.
  • Both Golem and Heise, Germany's biggest IT news sites, just covered RC2.
