SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: 12 July, 2011, 12:00 UTC
• Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

Agenda

• Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty
• Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?
  • Ewong for helping to get todays meeting agenda up on the wiki.
  • IanN for all his patches and reviews during the last fortnight.
  • Neil for putting up with all of IanNs review requests ;)
  • Please note A person or entity can't be nominated twice in a row.

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

• IanN to triage the 2.2-tracking bugs, and move as needed to the appropriate target version.
• More people need to help out with taking of the meeting notes. Ratty to send an email to SeaMonkey-members list summarizing what needs doing and asking for people to share duties.
• We should find a better way of getting nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank.
  • We could put out a call for nominations the week before then, at the time of the meeting notice going out we could include any nominations (We need to come up with a quick FAQ as to what merits a nomination). IanN to put out an email to the members list and then try and compile the FAQ from the responses.

CLOSED

• IanN to triage the 2.1-wanted and 2.1-nominated bugs, and move any that are appropriate to 2.2 [Done].

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.

Release Train

• SeaMonkey will directly go to the permanent repositories, i.e. -aurora, -beta in addition to -central. Miramar is a Thunderbird-only release branch (as is comm-2.0 for SeaMonkey).
• For comm-aurora, we also should regard strings there as much frozen as possible. In the future, string freeze is the uplift from central to aurora, which matches Firefox.
• If we have any actual fixes that don't need L10n changes (not enhancements) on central but not beta, they should go there if possible.
• SeaMonkey comm-aurora and comm-beta are buildable and tinderbox has run tests against them.
• Callek is working on getting comm-aurora and comm-beta on MXR (bug 653424).
• The correct version numbers are now on the release train.
• We have released 2.2!
• 5th July : Merged for both mozilla and comm repositories.
• 2.3 should go into beta then and then we'll have 5 weeks to release. Target release date is 16th August.
• Bug authors have been doing a fairly good job of requesting relevant approvals for the comm-aurora/beta.

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

• Addon Compatibility Listings created and maintained by InvisibleSmiley.
  • InvisibleSmiley moved Dictionary Switcher to "AMO", removed "under review" from MailNews Status Icons; moved FireFTP and Copy URL + to "External Sources", added IE Tab + and Scriptish to "AMO"
  • DERoss added Signature Switch to "Needs Addition to install.rdf"
  • The FAQ should be version-agnostic and have version updates mentioned in it so Jens or whoever won't need to keep changing the version numbers.
• Fallen has just set Lightning 1.0b4 on AMO to be 2.2.* compatible.
• AMO has a compatible version of Engimail now, and an experimental one for Lightning. Unfortunately these two Calendar extensions must be sought under Thunderbird and "All versions".
• Besides Lightning, we should also take a look at other add-ons that are important for our users when they switch to 2.1.
  • Useful query: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/extensions/?sort=popular
• InvisibleSmiley created a 2.1 FAQ Wiki page. Everybody please help update it.
• KaiRo created a SeaMonkey Features page and sub-pages for all those that are in development.

SeaMonkey 2.2

open tracking (5) tracking requests (2) targeted (0) fixed (35)

• SeaMonkey 2.2 was released on 8th July 2011, based on Gecko/Mozilla 5.0 and Available in 21 languages, for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux.
• The New 2.2 Features page has a comprehensive list of features.
• AUS updates from (2.0 -> 2.2 and 2.1 -> 2.2):
  • 2.1->2.2 is a minor update and should be online as automatic already.
  • 2.0->2.2 is a major update (MU), and IIRC Callek said it's online on beta.
• 2.2 had ~9300 ADU yesterday, 25405 downloads so far.

SeaMonkey 2.3

open tracking (7) tracking requests (5) targeted (1) fixed (6)

Further 2.x scheduling

• Current release notes are for 2.2. Once we have 2.3 or later, relnotes need to be updated.
• Please help updating the New 2.3 Features page as we go.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 70 new, 22 fixed, 36 triaged.

• New bugs seem to be outstripping fixed/triaged but still a good amount of triaging going on.
• Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!

Open reviews/flags: 40 review 13 super-review 0 ui-review 7 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

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.
• We need to finish de-RDF bug 654864 (with useless-UI for address book) soon, but none of Neil's comments on Tb bug 422845 triggered any response, so InvisibleSmiley feels reluctant to continue. Still he uploaded yet another version.
  • IanN filed and fixed a Thunderbird bug (bug 663631 Simplify getParentIndex in folderPane.js and jsTreeView.js) to help move things forward.

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled

• Kill-RDF:
  • bug 657607 Port jminta's kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable Part 2 [meta].
  • bug 657604 Remove the RDF global object.
• 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 any 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 (Standard8).
• 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.
• 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.
  • Note: Our location bar history doesn't and can't use autocomplete at all.
