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 6 weeks ago and again 3 weeks ago, no reply yet, even though the MoCo geolocation contact has poked the Google contact as well.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0 Final

  • Shipped on October 27!
  • 167 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 1.9.1.6 (.5 will be a short-cycle crash-fixing update), the latter needs a new patch, we need progress on both fronts!
  • 2.0 has 19 official languages including en-US, as well as a beta/unofficial Turkish version (requested by localizer due to incomplete L10n). More to come for 2.0.1 (or whatever it might be).
  • Ratty has written to add-on authors to update their work for 2.0, not sure how much is going on there right now.
  • What are we going to do wrt 1.9.1.5?
    • 2.0.1 will be based on 1.9.1.6 now as 1.9.1.5 is a crash-fixer release happening late this or early next week, and KaiRo doesn't have enough time to generate a release this week.
  • Feedback
    • Many positive messages.
    • Also many posts with problems, a few common threads among those:
      • Failure to launch when installed over 1.x - can we do something with removed-files? Ratty has filed bug 526202 on this issue.
        • Components dumped by extensions into the application/components/ directory are definitely a problem.
      • Some things already mentioned in Known Issues.
      • Profile migration failures - not sure how to diagnose these. Things like missing all passwords in migration are strange, but hard to debug especially if we don't have access to the users system.
      • Quicklaunch from SeaMonkey 1.1.x still enabled, need to see if it's possible/wanted to disable Quicklaunch during SeaMonkey 2 setup (should not be that difficult). IanN keep an eye on this issue (bug 526204).
      • The new Password and Form Managers seem to be hard for people to grasp, do we need docs on those so we can point people to them? BenoitRen to file a bug and to contact people who can potentially help to do the documentation. There is an existing bug, bug 463903 for form autocomplete.
      • For some strange reason cut&paste isn't working for some Windows 7 users. Specifically, nothing gets pasted.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 94 new, 17 fixed, 34 triaged.

  • High rate of new bugs after 2.0 release.
  • Fixing rate down as we all take a breath after this.
  • We need to do triage of the incoming new bugs, most are UNCO.

Major wanted/needed features:

Working on:

  • bug 525404 Appearance Pref Pane does not alter icon/text settings.
  • bug 525698 [Mac] Need new css for pageinfo.

wladow

Any other business?

  • Thunderbird mass-mailed Thunderbird extension authors on AMO reminding them to update their extensions for Thunderbird 3.0. We should do a similar mass mailing targeting two groups:
    • Existing SeaMonkey extensions that haven't been upgraded to 2.0.
    • Firefox and Thunderbird extension authors encouraging them to make their extensions compatible with SeaMonkey 2.0.
  • So what do we need? Someone to contact AMO to get a list of extension authors email addresses, and some person/software to do the spamming mass-mailing. Ratty to follow up with AMO on this. Also find out how MoMo handled this.
  • KaiRo will be on vacation when the next meeting is scheduled to happen.
    • IanN to chair the meeting.
    • Ratty to set up the wiki page and to send out the invitation to the newsgroups.
  • EOL date for SeaMonkey 1.1?
    • The plans for Gecko 1.8 are rather murky at the moment. KaiRo will probably try to get a clearer view when a 1.8.1.24 will be prepared possibly in December.
