Current status and discussions

Critical Issues

  • [rkent] Binary add-on issue with TB 24?
    • jcranmer and irving suggest speaking with Fallen - they suspect this is fixed.
    • The builds that came out for 24.1 timeframe release did not fix the bug that rkent is talking about - but extra numbers have been added to AMO to mark compatibility (you'll need to do rebuilds to side-step the compat issue).

Upcoming

Round Table

  • jcranmer
    • Working on converting JSMime into a separate repository (thanks to James Burke for being patient with me and my packaging issues!)
      • The separate repository will be JSMime 0.2, as I have decided to rework the API to be more idiot-proof
      • Tests are now up-to-date for comm-central, need to port tests for RFC 2047 and address header encoding/decoding
      • Not announcing this more widely public yet, since the conversion process is very messy and I want to embed reviews from the start.
    • Alder is now reserved for the final stages of ccrework, and I should be in contact with releng on getting this done.
    • Some minor build-engineering work with moz.build conversions or ontology
    • Still awaiting review from Neil.
  • JosiahOne (No outgoing audio)
    • Been busy with exams last week, so I didn't accomplish as much as I wished.
    • I have started re-organizing the directory/file/image structure inside themes/.
    • I plan to create a shared themes directory similar to Firefox unless the build peers/owners are against it.
    • Waiting on review from Mike Conley for the animated thunderbird tabs.
  • clokep
    • Still working on the IB->c-c chat/ update, waiting on reviews from Florian now.
    • Was at the GSoC Mentors Summit
      • A lot of people told me they were happy we are still working on Thunderbird!
      • A lot of people thought Thunderbird had been killed -> more on this in my blog post
  • mconley
    • Patch to allow us to use nsIPermissionManager to store mail content preferences is up for review. \o/
    • I wrote some mail to tb-planning about the AMO to Marketplace move, and what that means for Thunderbird (and SeaMonkey).
    • Did more reviews, but they're starting to stack up again
  • Paenglab
    • Waiting for feedback from mconley for bug 925746

Question Time

  • [clokep] Do we still need to use tb-planning? I'm STILL moderated on it after an insane amount of time using it.
    • Can we switch back to using m.d.a.thunderbird? If we have issues with "idiots", we can always moderate it. (I want my nntp back.)
    • Alternately, can we freely give out posting privileges to people.

Other

Action Items

  • [mconley] Ask jorgev if Marketplace merge would accept patches to make Thunderbird work there...
  • [mconley] Can we pull jb into this AMO discussion? Can we get an advocate higher up the Mozilla-chain? jb+gerv?
  • [mconley] Talk to bwinton and see if we can get "the regulars" whitelisted on tb-planning.
