Standard8

See Thunderbird/StatusMeetings/2008-12-16#Standard8

stefanh

• Started to work a bit on bug bug 460699 (Make the default theme look better on mac). Fixed a couple of minor ui bugs.

wladow

Any other business?

• Standard8 suggests adding an "Account Manager" component under Mailnews Core since most of our account manager code is shared at the moment and it doesn't make sense to fork it.
• Date of next meeting.
  • 30th December and 6th January are holiday periods for most people, but 13th January is too long between meetings, especially if we plan to freeze for alpha3 on 29th January. Instead we will hold a short meeting with only the roundtable and "any other business" on 30th December to see where we are on our way towards alpha3.
