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 found out that the contact at Google changed. Also, discussing a possible open Geolocation service.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0 Feedback

Only unresolved items are tracked here - and we should find a way to deal with it for every item talked about in this section!

  • Anything new?
  • bug 539194 MailNews high CPU (bug 311774 regression).
    • Noted in relnotes for 2.0.3, anything else we can do to move this?

SeaMonkey 2.0.3

open blockers (1) blocker requests (0) fixed (112)

  • Release planned for 16 February, based on Gecko 1.9.1.8.
  • GetDefaultFeedReader and venkman slowdown pushed to 2.0.4, as well as some blocker requests.
  • 23 security bugs in addition to 112 other fixes, again some good fixes for 2.0.x stabilization and smoothness.
  • Builds are up on FTP and on the beta channel for testing.

SeaMonkey 2.0.4

open blockers (2) blocker requests (2) fixed (1)

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 44 new, 17 fixed, 20 triaged.

  • Nearer to par, but still more new than resolved bugs. :(

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

  • bug 423281 Help updates.
    • See my roundtable entry for help bugs fixed [ InvisibleSmiley].
    • bug 463903 (form autocomplete documentation).
    • FAQ to cover e.g. double-click / down arrow in form fields?
      • status/progress?
  • 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.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 471346 Port GetDefaultFeedReader to SeaMonkey shell service [mcsmurf].
    • currently working on making a new patch build on Linux and Mac OS X. Problems getting it to build should be resolved soon.

2.1

  • bug 460953 kill-rdf port [sgautherie].
    • Postponed until mcsmurf (or sgautherie) can resume work on it.
    • status/progress?
  • 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.
    • Jeffrey Lee, a Seneca student, is looking into that!
  • bug 498596 Places bookmarks.
    • unowned so far.
  • 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 trying to work out some organizational issues at the moment.
  • 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.
    • 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
    • filed that bug to track the SeaMonkey side (functionality might go to Toolkit, strings won't)

We also should take a look at the other items on wanted-seamonkey2.1+

  • SeaMonkey 2.1 Planning: Gecko roadmap is still unclear, there are two proposals on Talk:Firefox/Roadmap now, and discussions in m.d.planning - also makes 1.9.3 vs. 1.9.2 for us somewhat unclear, but it seems that 1.9.3 might be in late summer or fall, which might fit our schedules well.
    • A talk with kaze about where we stand with respect to KompoZer might shed more light on this - especially when it comes to 1) what he needs from core and 2) what impact it might have on Thunderbird.
  • We now have a consolidated packaging manifest for all platforms on trunk, so you now need to look at suite/installer/package-manifest.in instead of suite/installer/{linux,windows}/packages.
  • InvisibleSmiley will open a new bug for getting about:support into SeaMonkey.
  • We should go for smaller releases to ease upgrade paths for users. If we need to push back one or the other feature to the next smaller release, so be it, but we should stay closer to the Geckos Firefox is shipping as current.

stefanh

Working on:

  • bug 537343 Need new entities for proper Mac menu items localization in all the supported locales.

Any other business?

  • KaiRo would like to try and get the "SeaMonkey 2.0 contributors" interview series going again.
  • bug 543678 (Tools Menu Disorganization with Addons).
    • This is probably WONTFIX since we can't really control where an extension author will insert their menu items into our UI.
    • Moving the Download Manager and Password Manager to the first section together with the other managers might make sense.
