SeaMonkey Meeting Details

• Time: September 7, 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

CLOSED

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.

SeaMonkey 2.0.7

open blockers (0) blocker requests (1) fixed (16)

• Based on Gecko 1.9.1.12, target date is TODAY, see Releases.
• Release schedule will be synchronized with the next Firefox 3.5 release (3.5.12).
• Candidate builds are up.

SeaMonkey 2.0.8

open blockers (0) blocker requests (0) fixed (4)

• Based on Gecko 1.9.1.13 and in sync with Firefox 3.5.13, target date TBD, see Releases.

SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 3

targeted (1) fixed (61)

• Has been SHIPPED on August 24, ~2000 downloads so far, ~300 ADU.

SeaMonkey 2.1 Beta 1

open blockers (2) blocker requests (5) targeted (0) fixed (31)

• Will probably be only beta, targeted freeze for end of September. This roughly matches Gecko 2.0 RC1. After that, we'll see where Gecko is and where we are and if it really looks good for the final stretch to 2.1.

(Further 2.1 scheduling:)

• Please help updating the New 2.1 Features page as we go.
• Plans for 2.1: 6-8 weeks per milestone, b1 in October, and a final in November.
• This seems to match recently presented Firefox 4 plans relatively well - they're in beta now, RC1 is planned for October and Final somewhere "soon" after.
• It would be good to get OOPP (Out Of Process Plugins) for SM2.1 (bug 545716) but we need some way to build libxul (bug 394502) to be able to build OOPP. LDAP work has to be done for that to be possible, the rest should at least build with libxul right now.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 67 new, 31 fixed, 16 triaged.

• Fix rate is going down, triage continues to be weak. Should do more there.
• Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!

Major wanted/needed features:

2.1

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled

• bug 460953 kill-rdf port.
• 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 job hunting so doesn't have much time 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 (dmose).
• 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.
  • 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 507841 Port Bug 422814 - Make account configuration quick, easy, and more secure (autoconfig, Quick Account Setup).
• bug 573391 Detect outdated plugins and notify users.
• bug 573538 No options for Safe-Mode.

Active

• bug 533908 SeaMonkey Mail: tabs not restored [misak]
  • mailnews is now little bit stalled - a straight port (of TB code) will be really easy, but working on a combined approach, trying to use as much sessionstore codebase as possible. Mailnews lacks persist functions which mnsstore should call - so testing on calendar tabs - need to add those calls
• bug 569341 Data Manager [KaiRo]
  • KaiRo updated code again for review comments, should be very near to reaching Neil's high sr requirements now. Let's see what Ian brings up in review. The add-on version up on AMO is 1.0.1 with a lot of fixes from the SeaMonkey work.
• bug 410613 OpenSearch [KaiRo]
  • The current consensus it to get some basic functionality going with OpenSearch first. And then later to see how much of the old functionality we can reimplement in follow-ups.
  • Based on that, started work and have an WIP up that doesn't look too bad right now. Might be able to get this fully working, actually.
• bug 570004 Popup/"doorhanger" notifications [KaiRo]
  • Waiting for reviews
  • Also needed for add-on installation notifications (bug 581974), which are also awaiting reviews.
• bug 467867 [META] Implement Firefox TabBrowser API in Seamonkey [misak]
  • tabbrowser API is almost ready with inclusion of some followups being working on
• bug 566138 Better integration with Windows 7 taskbar
  • bug 581526 Add SeaMonkey support for the Windows 7 jump list [mcsmurf]
  • status/progress?
• bug 576970 Port Sync UI to SeaMonkey trunk [InvisibleSmiley]
  • Have it running locally now, including installer changes, only missing prefs/setup/etc. dialogs (those are next).
  • Will start creating patches, beginning with build system/installer.
  • Patch size so far: 160 KB (21 files modified, 21 new, 11 of which are images).
  • Will probably make Modern a follow-up.

We also should take a look at the other items on 2.1-wanted Also the nominations need triaging.

• We will need to take a close look at Lightning, which is mainly targeting Thunderbird.
  • Lightning 1.0 beta 1 is for SM2.0 and TB3.0, 1.0 beta 2 is for TB3.1 (Gecko 1.9.2), 1.0 beta 2 will probably be Gecko 2.0-based.
