SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who's taking minutes? -> RickieES (RickieesES in wmo)
  • Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?
    • Callek for his sterling RelEng work getting Several security updates out in quick succession (confirmed in IRC meeting by IanN, tonymec and KaiRo).
    • 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

  • 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 has put out an email to the members list. InvisibleSmiley came up with some sensible suggestions.
    • We need to advertise such a thing happens even if it is only in the meeting notice.

CLOSED

  • Jtek has volunteered to oversee the details of the SeaMonkey tee-shirt shop. KaiRo has forwarded the Zazzle contact to jtek and Jeff is following up.

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.
    • KaiRo has heard that Google is doing a revamp of their location service, maybe they'll finally make it available publicly so we can use it. [InvisibleSmiley says:] According to Bug 677256 |Migrate to Google Location Service v2| this is still FF only :-(
    • Callek has contacted Google Sales reps to try and work out a solution that meets our budget (almost nothing) and requirements. Not expecting anything out of it, initial quote from them for inclusion was over 15 thousand USD.

Release Train

  • Callek is working on getting comm-aurora and comm-beta on MXR (bug 653424).
    • Patch needs updating.
  • 2.3 shipped on 16th August.
  • 2.3.1 shipped on 23rd August.
  • 2.3.2 shipped on 31st August.
  • 2.3.3 shipping today (6 September). Hopefully the last in 2.3.x series, but it all comes to CAs statuses.
  • 2.4 Beta 1 shipping today (if website changes are ready, which InvisibleSmiley estimates in 5-8 hours) or tomorrow.
  • 2.0.14 -> 2.3.3 Major Updates live as of today (6 September)

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

  • Addon Compatibility Listings created and maintained by InvisibleSmiley, with help from some community members like DERoss.
    • Recent changes can be found here.
  • AMO has versions of Engimail and Lightning compatible with 2.3 now. :-)
  • The latest Firebug is now fully compatible but still not flagged as such on AMO (which seems to depend on automatic tests being set up and run on the Firebug side, see Issue 4430)
  • Besides the above, we should also take a look at other add-ons that are important for our users when they switch to 2.x.
  • InvisibleSmiley created a FAQ Wiki page. Everybody please help update it, so it stays current without needing too much maintenance.
  • KaiRo created a SeaMonkey Features page and sub-pages for all those that are in development.

2.2 Follow-ups and Issues

  • Lost Bookmarks bug 673474 and Cookies bug 673672 on auto-update from 2.0.14 to 2.2.
    • Bookmarks can be re-imported from bookmarks.html.
  • Users are unhappy about various UX and usability issues with the new Data Manager.
    • Ratty proposes that until all the major pain points are addressed, links to the old individual managers be established (probably from the various Data Manager panes).
  • [InvisibleSmiley] We need to try harder to fix regressions ASAP. I feel there is still too much delay. IMO regressions from the last stable version need to be addressed with top priority, especially in light of the rapid release train.

SeaMonkey 2.3

open tracking (2) tracking requests (0) targeted (0) fixed (23)

  • The New 2.3 Features page has a comprehensive list of features.
  • One user reported lost bookmarks from 2.2 to 2.3. Since Firefox didn't have the same problem, IanN thinks it could be just a broken profile issue.
    • Ratty suggests searching SUMO forums for similar issues with Firefox.
  • 2.3.x had ~62100 ADU yesterday, 2.3 has had ~60700 downloads so far.
    • vs. 10009 on 2.2 (with 40370 on 2.0 and 2237 on 2.1). So another ~4k have migrated to 2.2 or above in the last two weeks.
    • IanN says 2.3 user figures are just about 800 under 2.2 figures, which is pretty well. 2.3.3 MU should bring a fair number of 2.0 users, too.

Schedule:

  • Shipped on time, with 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 following and 2.3.3 released today
    • [InvisibleSmiley:] Users still on 2.0 will probably sent to 2.3.3 directly?
    • Callek: Correct, as of today (after 2.3.3 ships) we'll have 2.0.14 updates directly to 2.3.3
  • Users on 2.2 were updated to 2.3 at release time. Anyone on beta channel was updated to 2.3 already.

Follow-ups and Issues

  • werwolf reports that there are no Spanish Es-Ar help files, only English for several releases.
    • RickieES has contacted the es-AR people to offer them the es-ES files. Marcelo Poli said they will use es-ES files while we try to update es-AR content.

Further 2.x scheduling

  • Callek has spun 2.4b1 along with Firefox 7.0b4. We believe they'll make the GO for that today, but until it is done it can change.
    • Release is slated for later today, or tomorrow.
  • SeaMonkey 2.4 is due out towards the end of September (27th) or perhaps early October depending on Firefox and our resources.
    • [InvisibleSmiley:] We need to make sure that anything that landed on comm-beta (for TB) or mozilla-beta (for FF) which affected non-shared code and which fixed regressions will be fixed on our side, too. Examples: Address Book bug 682803 (port bug: bug 683716), Session Store bug 668646 (port bug: bug 671520). IanN agrees.
  • Please help updating the New 2.4 Features page as we go.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 57 new, 17 fixed, 18 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!
  • IanN wonders when would be a good time to have another bug day. Perhaps on October, once 2.4 is out?
    • Tonymec and IanN wonder if the last time was mid-week or on weekend. Operation Nugzilla happened from May 18th to 20th (Wed to Fri).
    • Callek_Away tries to triage bugs within 48 hours since they are filed. He hopes to start going through stuff once he gets most of his other todo's caught up; but that may not be as soon as he'd like.

Open reviews/flags: 36 review 14 super-review 0 ui-review 9 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

Active

  • Kill-RDF:
  • bug 606683 Allow customization of toolbar in Composer and MailNews Composition [IanN].
    • Progressing slowly, still waiting on reviews from TB side. Full customization has to go to 2.next (currently 2.6 but could be pushed back further) as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.
    • IanN is still unpicking Composer/Mail Compose code in the dependent bugs.
  • de-RDF bug 654864 has been finished and landed on all development branches, including 2.3. Still to do:
    • Neil wanted to follow up on some listener issues
    • for the selection issue, see what the TB guys come up with in bug 669203
  • bug 515734 Provide More Entries in the Win7 Jumplist Tasks list. [Callek].
    • Fixed and in, in time for the 2.5 train. (Currently in aurora)
  • bug 477845 Build a standalone (Comm-central) Composer. [kaze]
    • kaze has done a bit of work in this bug recently. Building on Windows works. Now supports debug builds on Linux if tests are disabled (--disable-tests). Still a lot to do.
    • IanN will see if he can help get builds working with --enable-tests.

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled

  • Kill-RDF:
    • bug 657607 Port jminta's kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable Part 2 [meta].
  • 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 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.
  • 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.
  • bug 677484 Individual SeaMonkey components are not properly handled by the Windows 7 taskbar.
  • bug 654009 Reply to list: automatically determine From: address
    • Note: The actual task here is to port bug 45715 "Reply to List" [button/(context) menu item]

KaiRo

  • Did all the manual work to put up automated SeaMonkey 2.3.1 updates for 64-bit Linux (bug 682138), but the current DigiNotor "oilspill" situation will make it necessary for me to look into 2.3.3 updates soon.
  • I did some more work on my EarlyBlue and LCARStrek themes and uploaded 2.3 versions to AMO, which have all changes to supports SeaMonkey 2.3 and for LCARStrek Firefox 6 as well as possible (and newer versions reasonably).
  • Also worked on some first steps of updating EarlyBlue and LCARStrek for 2.4 versions, but there's more to be done there.

tonymec

FIXED:

  • bug 663272 NightlyTester Tools should support SeaMonkey nightlies the way ChatZilla, Venkman and DOM Inspector now do.
    • Outstanding: the fixed version should be 3.1.7.1 instead of 3.1.5.1 so that the (unfixed) version 3.1.7 gets auto-updates, see bug 663272 comment #12 and bug 681821.

Any other business?

  • Warm welcome to Stanimir, which has provided his first two bugs.
