SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Agenda

  • Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty

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]. 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. No easy solution in sight. Also, discussing a possible open Geolocation service.

SeaMonkey 2.0.5

open blockers (1) blocker requests (0) fixed (54)

  • Builds done and on beta channel, ready for release from our POV.
  • Based on Gecko 1.9.1.10, target for Firefox releases has been pushed to June 1, see Releases.
  • We're waiting for them to release the same security fixes as FF 3.5.10 in sync.

SeaMonkey 2.0.6

open blockers (2) blocker requests (0) fixed (6)

  • Based on Gecko 1.9.1.11, target dates TBD, see Releases.

SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 1

open blockers (1) targeted (18) fixed (184)

  • Please help updating New 2.1 Features page!
  • Builds are done, from all we know we look good enough to release it today!
  • The only things left to do are for the release notes to be finished and then having an announcement made. If we can do both today, we can release today so, please, everyone who can, help with getting those two things written up.

SeaMonkey 2.1 Alpha 2

open blockers (2) blocker requests (6) targeted (0) fixed (12)

  • Plans for 2.1: 6-8 weeks per milestone, a2 once places bookmarks have landed and baked for a few days, at latest in July, b1 in August/September, and a final in October/November.
  • This seems to match recently presented Firefox 4 plans relatively well - they'll go for beta in June and Final in the same timeframe as we have in those plans right now.
  • It would be good to get OOPP (Out Of Process Plugins) for SM2.1 but we need some way to build libxul to be able to build OOPP. Various mailnews work has to be done for that to be possible.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 33 new, 28 fixed, 38 triaged.

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

  • bug 423281 Help updates.
    • some work done by IanN and InvisibleSmiley.
    • bug 463903 (form autocomplete documentation): no progress.
    • FAQ to cover e.g. double-click / down arrow in form fields?
  • 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.
    • Mnyromyr hopes to get to look into venkman now that he's released Mnenhy 0.8.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 471346 Port GetDefaultFeedReader to SeaMonkey shell service [mcsmurf].
    • Needs more review from IanN.

2.1

  • bug 460953 kill-rdf port [sgautherie].
    • Postponed until mcsmurf (or sgautherie) can resume work on it.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
    • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 410613 OpenSearch. helpwanted.
    • We need to check if OpenSearch can support all our existing functionality, for example the INTEPRETS section in Sherlock search plugins. Mnyromyr will check on that, and on how extensible the Firefox code is.
    • status/progress?
    • 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.
  • bug 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
    • Jeffrey Lee, a Seneca student, is looking into that!
    • status/progress?
  • bug 498596 Places bookmarks. [KaiRo]
    • KaiRo has try builds up, please test them. Still need to work out how to drive this into the tree without taking ages for it. More progress locally on porting ongoing changes in Firefox land and fixing bugs in earlier patch sets.
  • bug 480734 Satchel data editor ("Form Manager").
    • unowned so far.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 1.9.3) Composer. [kaze]
    • kaze will look into that once KompoZer 0.8 is done.
    • bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
    • 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.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
    • A list of TODO icons is up in the bug.
    • Still needs quite a bit of work.
    • status/progress?
    • bug 522023 is working on improving the browser globe in task icons, etc..
  • 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.
    • status/progress?
  • bug 521927 Make Search, Folder Location and Views widgets for MailNews customizable toolbars. [IanN]
    • Waiting for feedback.
  • bug 545110 Add/port about:support (Troubleshooting Information page) to SeaMonkey. [InvisibleSmiley]
    • about:support itself is done (including Modern), the Help menu item is about to be added and a Help bug will be filed. Any changes beyond that (e.g. MailNews data etc.) should probably go to follow-up bugs.
  • bug 97023 Search/Find in page UI: toolbar instead of dialog [bfrisch].
    • bfrisch said that he is currently busy with exams, but should be able to get findbar in shape for a2.
  • bug 533908 SeaMonkey Mail: tabs not restored [misak].
    • status/progress?
  • bug 467867 [META] Implement Firefox TabBrowser API in Seamonkey [misak].
    • Misak did few review spins, basically done.

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

  • We need to find a solution for Lightning, which is targeting Thunderbird 3.1 now.

Any other business?

  • The discussion on potentially moving the time of the meeting wasn't very fruitful.
  •  :: I don't like the new Add-on Manager: it too overstaffed and verbose. If anyone want a new Add-on Manager, it would be easily performed by an extension. --虞海 05:52, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
    • This critique of the new addons manager isn't very helpful, as it's not very specific and the new code is a reality from the platform side. There are many bugs still open about improving the new interface, though, and I'm sure that the Toolkit team appreciates well-formulated and specific reports of what to improve [KaiRo].
