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

  • Kairo to contact MoFo on doing a SeaMonkey 2.0 press release. Current Status: talked with MoCo presscontact, said they can't do anything that costs money, but fell good about forwarding a roughly two-paragraph note to their contacts.

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 2 weeks ago, no reply yet.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0 Final

open blockers (7) blocker requests (0) open wanted (28) wanted requests (6)

  • We need to get blockers fixed, some are unowned as of now and need to either get assigned and fixed fast, or to consider to drop or push back release.
    • Besides bug 382870, we have three other unassigned blockers: bug 518203, bug 520006, bug 520480.
    • The first one is quite an issue for Mac users according to stefanh. We need to check with stefanh on options for working round this bug.
    • Mnyromyr will look into the Mac-sidebar-blocker tonight.
    • [KaiRo] I feel safe on generating RC1 without 483282 (venkman perf hit) fixed, btw - I'd like to get it fixed for final, but with Mnyromyr backing out the core patch for it from trunk, I doubt we can do much by 1.9.1.4 and SM2.0 final.
    • [mcsmurf] bug 452465 will be checked in today bug 471346 won't make 2.0, I'm quite sure of that 2.0.x maybe then.
    • [InvisibleSmiley] I think it would be nice to have some user feedback on the Master Password workaround so if it can be done I'd like to have it for RC1 (only depends on reviews).
    • After code freeze, KaiRo will probably go through the wanted+ bugs and cancel or minus things that look too risky to take after code freeze.
    • [KaiRo] Right now, my main concern is if/how we can ship RC1 and then RC2/final after that. The only thing blocking RC1 right now is bug 452465 (directory-rel).
    • We don't do release notes for RCs as due to their version settings, they point to the final relnotes. But we need to relnote any known crashes / performance issues. We can possibly "misuse" the final relnote doc for noting issues in RC1.
  • Schedule:
    • String freeze passed on Oct 1, locales starting to opt in.
    • Code freeze TODAY midnight PDT!
    • Spin first RC tomorrow if possible, with locales that are ready.
    • Let locales continue to opt in, RC2 should be final if in any way possible though.
      • Help can have exceptions to the string freeze - we always have handled it that way. And nothing breaks if localizers are not 100% in sync with help docs.
  • Branch planning is totally up in the air. Thunderbird drivers seem to think branching very closely to releasing their final is good. KaiRo thinks branching should happen before spinning our first RC. No compromise reached as of now.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 52 new, 39 fixed, 30 triaged.

  • The rate of fixed bugs still continues to be high in the run up to 2.0.

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0

  • Toolbar customization aftermath [Ratty]
    • Good to go for 2.0. What remains has to be pushed back to 2.1 (bug 481862, Addressbook and HTML Composer toolbars).
  • bug 456757 Modern theme update [Ratty]
    • Good for 2.0 as is. The remaining polish bugs won't block 2.0.
  • bug 348720 New icon set for "SeaMonkey Default Theme"
    • status/progress? Good for 2.0 as is?
    • A list of TODO icons is up in the bug
    • KaiRo landed task icons
  • bug 508039 "Know Your Rights" [mcsmurf]
    • Has r+ conditional on fix a few nits.
  • bug 442167 "New add-on installed" notification. patch landed [sgautherie]
  • bug 506724 bug 397236 bug 472873 Help updates (more in bug 423281)
    • status/progress?

We also should take a careful look at the other items on wanted-seamonkey2.0+

  • bug 460953 kill-rdf port [sgautherie]
    • Further work postponed to SM 2.1.
  • bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
    • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
  • bug 410613 OpenSearch. helpwanted.
    • We need to check if OpenSearch can support all our existing functionality, for example the INTEPRETS section in Sherlock search plugins. Mnyromyr will check on that, and on how extensible the Firefox code is.
  • bug 449728 drag tabs between windows
    • unowned so far.
  • bug 498596 places bookmarks
    • unowned so far.

wladow

Any other business?

  • People need to write some blog posts for the SeaMonkey blog to show off what SM2 features. Mnyromyr needs to write a summary on tabmail anyway, so he can make a blog post from that as well.
  • Interesting talks with multiple people in Prague about future and esp. KompoZer collaboration/integration.
  • KompoZer:
    • [KaiRo] Bascially after SeaMonkey 2.0 and KompoZer 0.8 (both expected this/next month), we should do a clone of comm-central+mozilla-central in a user space on hg.m.o and try to get things running there, then merge back either the repository or the patches.
    • We also should look into getting some build machines to do at least nightly build cycles.
    • Ideally, KaiRo can get machines into the SeaMonkey pool and we might be able to get the builds into the SeaMonkey buildmaster.
    • The main issue there is hardware/VMs, but KaiRo needs to talk to Mozilla IT about that topic in any case.
    • If KompoZer becomes an official Community Project, that might be simpler. Kaze is working on this at the moment.
  • bug 477845 [Build a standalone (Gecko 1.9.1) Composer].
    • We don't need MOZ_STANDALONE_COMPOSER. If we would, we could do it with app-config.mk. For example --enable-application=editor.
  • The next step is for kaze to get a hg account and doing that comm-central clone to play around with.
  • [sgautherie] New mozilla-central build issues are: Windows needs Windows7 sdk/workaround; Linux leak test crashes.
