SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Time: April 6, 2010, 12:00 UTC
Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

Agenda

Who's taking minutes? -> IanN

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 they don't want additional specific consumers of the service right now and want to enable some general way of accessing it "some time" - We can only wait right now.
- KaiRo had some more discussions with both the Google and the Mozilla contact. No easy solution in sight. Also, discussing a possible open Geolocation service.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 2.0.4

Shipped on March 30.
Synched up with Thunderbird 3.0.4 and Firefox 3.5.9 (Gecko 1.9.1.9).

SeaMonkey 2.0.5

open blockers (2) blocker requests (0) fixed (17)

Based on Gecko 1.9.1.10, tentatively targeted for May 11, exact schedule TDB, see Releases. Release possibly may be brought forward if any vulnerabilities show up.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 56 new, 19 fixed, 18 triaged.

More new, less fixed, much less triaged than earlier - net gain of bugs in our component.
KaiRo did a post on possible triage targets, ashughes has offered to do a Mozilla bugday on SeaMonkey - now scheduled for April 20, we're looking for a good bug query to give people to work on there. Suggestions?

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

bug 423281 Help updates.
- status/progress?
- bug 463903 (form autocomplete documentation).
- FAQ to cover e.g. double-click / down arrow in form fields?
  - 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 1.9.1.10 bug 364864 (nsICategoryManager::deleteCategoryEntry does not persist outside of component registration) which depends on bug 480851 getting fixed on trunk.

bug 410613 OpenSearch. helpwanted.

- Jeffrey Lee, a Seneca student, is looking into that!

bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 1.9.3) Composer. [kaze]

- kaze has done a ton of work there. He's made good progress and is hoping to have DocumentTabs patch ready by Sunday. We're still trying 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 (dmose) At the latest during the Firefox summit.

KaiRo

Released SeaMonkey 2.0.4.
Landed patch for build upload timeouts from European Windows slave (bug 551663).
Filed and help fix bug 554647 - RAM increase for Parallels-based Linux VMs.
Created a patch for a small release problem I've run into (bug 554737).
Filed a bug for getting clobberer set up for SeaMonkey (bug 555449).
Filed bug for releng and website components (bug 555455).

Blogged about human-readable pushlog feeds: http://home.kairo.at/blog/2010-03/human_readable_pushlog_feeds
Fixed a number of accesskey bug in de L10n of SeaMonkey, brought SeaMonkey, ChatZilla as well as DOM and security/manager L10n up to sync with trunk
Sent out messages to get "SeaMonkey 2.0 contributors" blog series going again.
Updated and later landed branding rework (bug 525869).
Replaced resource://app/ with resource:/// (bug 555715).
Worked on making partial updates available for nightlies (bug 555730) and got them almost to work, if I wouldn't have introduced a general regression (bug 556564). This also needed one patch for buildbotcustom to slightly fix up things from bug 511967.
Updated build-configs/seamonkey to make it even simpler and more similar to mozilla2 (bug 555734).

Had some discussions on geolocation support, both with the GLS contact at Google and the Mozilla contact - unfortunately, without any immediate outcome.
Created a workaround patch for making "about:" actually useful (bug 555939).
Updated the SeaMonkey website to feature a JSON with current versions, reduce places to update when releasing a new version, and a page with links for downloading nightlies.
Posted about possible targets for bug triage.
Tried to reduce my TODO queue.
As usual, my blog has more detailed status about my work, and Mozilla Status Board Posts also tell about my next planned steps.
