Thunderbird Meeting Details
- Tuesday, Nov 25, 17:30 UTC (9:30am Pacific, 12:30pm Eastern)
- How to dial-in
Agenda
- Who's taking minutes? --> rebron - may be out?
- Minute taking Schedule. Talk to davida for schedule changes/additions.
Calls For Help
- davida would appreciate assistance on the autoconfiguration branch. (The awesome create-a-new-account screen where you just enter your e-mail address and it figures out most/all of the details for you.) One particular area that could use assistance is handling certificates in the connection detection logic.
- bienvenu has done some work in bug 429843 on sorting out the certificate handling for incoming email.
- bienvenu says : cert exception dialog landed for beta 1 with no string changes (existing strings are in nss)
- dmose says: I need to make a separate pref for each different reading contexts. Document it and make a patch for it. Should be ready for review by thursday.
- bienvenu has done some work in bug 429843 on sorting out the certificate handling for incoming email.
Action Items
New
Open
- dmose: drive JS-in-mail discussion
- Crash-stats is looking reasonable at the moment. Do we still want to do this?
- We would like our own server, but it's not as urgent as it was.
- davida: needs to identify the major work items for thunderbird 3 and break them down by the beta/release they will be in.
Closed
- need to announce new code freeze date on tinderbox
- davida: will escalate issue of separate messaging crash-stats server
- We're going to do it, gozer will address as an IT issue.
- Gloda needs to be more documented in order to make the feature more visible to the users (asuth)
- asuth should just do this, not an action required here.

- Overall progress is very good.
- folks interested in helping with front-end stuff, some simple, should ask in #maildev
QA Updates
- Unlikely to have a bugday this week (i.e. Nov 27), Thanksgiving among the reasons.
