SeaMonkey Meeting Details
- Time: March 9, 2010, 13:00 UTC
- Location: #seamonkey IRC channel
Contents
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 found out that the contact at Google changed. Also, discussing a possible open Geolocation service.
CLOSED
SeaMonkey 1.1.19 (1.x EOL)
- 26 fixed bugs, mostly security issues
- In parallel to Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 (targeted March 15)
- NOT all known security vulnerabilities fixed, but better than 1.1.18
- Announcement will primarily be about 1.x EOL, with a pointer that a somewhat improved 1.1.19 is available, but real security is only found in the latest 2.0 update.
SeaMonkey 2.0.4
open blockers (3) blocker requests (2) fixed (54)
- Based on Gecko 1.9.1.9, targeted for March 30.
- Thunderbird 3.0.4 should be synched up with us as well this time.
- If things work as planned, we'll have five versions to be released on the same day (FF 3.0.19/3.5.9/3.6.2, SM 2.0.4, TB 3.0.4) - see Releases - that can get really interesting.
- The impact SM and TB make is that mirrors take longer to sync as it's more files - especially in the case where we have 5 releases with a number of locales.
Feature List, Planning
Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 48 new, 15 fixed, 34 triaged.
- Triage seems to pick up a bit now, but fixing slowed down a bit.
Major wanted/needed features:
2.0.x
- bug 423281 Help updates.
- InvisibleSmiley has been working on updating help.
- bug 463903 (form autocomplete documentation).

- No progress to report.
- bug 483282 Make sure normal SeaMonkey use doesn't pay a price for having venkman installed [Mnyromyr].
- Needs at least a core patch landing for 1.9.1.9 bug 364864 (nsICategoryManager::deleteCategoryEntry does not persist outside of component registration).
- No progress to report.
- bug 471346 Port GetDefaultFeedReader to SeaMonkey shell service [mcsmurf].

- SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
- bug 410613 OpenSearch. helpwanted.

- bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
- Jeffrey Lee, a Seneca student, is looking into that!
- bug 498596 Places bookmarks.
- KaiRo has everything that's directly in the browser window working (haven't tested all context menu entries in toolbar items though), no management yet, but started a thread about that on m.d.a.seamonkey to know which way to go.
- bug 480734 Satchel data editor ("Form Manager").
- unowned so far.
- bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 1.9.3) Composer.
- kaze will look into that once KompoZer 0.8 is done.
- bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
- kaze has done a ton of work there. We're still trying to work out some organizational issues.
- bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
- A list of TODO icons is up in the bug.
- Still needs quite a bit of work.
- bug 522023 is working on improving the browser globe in task icons, etc..
- bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.
- 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 521927 Make Search, Folder Location and Views widgets for MailNews customizable toolbars.
- status/progress?
- bug 545110 Add/port about:support (Troubleshooting Information page) to SeaMonkey
- Depends on bug 518607 Move the Troubleshooting Information page into toolkit so other apps like Thunderbird and SeaMonkey can use it.
We also should take a look at the other items on wanted-seamonkey2.1+
- We need to find a solution for Lightning, which is targeting Thunderbird 3.1 now.

Any other business?
- The SeaMonkey project turns 5! March 10 marks the anniversary of the day when Mozilla Foundation posted the transition plan and paved the way for the community taking over management of suite development and releases.
