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]. 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 2.0.9

open blockers (1) blocker requests (0) fixed (30)

  • Based on Gecko 1.9.1.14 and in sync with Firefox 3.5.14, target date October 14, see Releases.
  • Builds have been created and are available for testing from FTP and on the beta channel.

SeaMonkey 2.1 Beta 1

open blockers (0) blocker requests (2) targeted (2) fixed (86)

  • L10n freeze has passed on Friday, code freeze is TODAY.

(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, b2 (feature freeze) probably in late October; final to be decided later.
  • Unsure how this fits Firefox 4 plans as they are still trying to get to their feature freeze.
  • [KaiRo] The one thing I'm mostly unclear about is what to do about PPC. Apparently the builds we are producing are not really working well any more after the platform downgraded PPC from tier-1 to whatever. The newer Firefox "universal builds" are i386/x86_64 instead of PPC/i386, but we don't have the 64bit machines needed to build those. We need a newer SDK for 64bit that only runs on Mac OS X 10.6 and all our machines are currently 10.5. Also see:
    • bug 600965 Mac nightly build very very buggy when run on PPC.
    • Could we do something like bug 588412? Probably, though we'll need to update our AUS server and put the correct hacks in there for SeaMonkey as well. Unfortunately that doesn't solve that problem of actually shipping PPC/i386 universal builds.
    • [KaiRo] I hope I can shed some light on getting new build machines today, and if we get this going, I hope we find a way out of this by just converting some 10.5 machines to 10.6.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 57 new, 31 fixed, 23 triaged.

  • Fix rate is good, 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.
  • 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 573538 No options for Safe-Mode.
Active
  • bug 533908 SeaMonkey Mail: tabs not restored [misak]
    • No progress to report.
  • bug 569341 Data Manager [KaiRo]
    • Landed for 2.1 Beta 1!
    • A number of followup bugs are filed for further improvements.
  • bug 410613 OpenSearch [KaiRo]
    • Landed for 2.1 Beta 1!
    • A few followup bugs are filed for further improvements.
  • bug 570004 Popup/"doorhanger" notifications [Neil]
    • Currently ground work is being done to make the main porting effort easier in bug 595810 (Centralise notifications for ease of conversion to doorhangers).
  • bug 467867 [META] Implement Firefox TabBrowser API in Seamonkey [misak]
    • At the moment all the more important or useful APIs have been ported. Somebody needs to look at the DevMo documentation to see what's left to port and to file more dependent bugs if necessary.
  • 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]
    • Most of the patches are still to be reviewed; the things I requested reviews for are some of the smallest ones. More reviewers and help on addressing the real issues would be good.

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.

SeaMonkey Developer Meeting

See wiki page: SeaMonkey Developer Meeting

  • Happening on October 23/24, in Vienna.
  • Please give feedback if you are coming, if you stay for hacking days, and when you are arriving/leaving.
  • Proposals for sessions are very much wanted.
  • How many sessions will we do at all and how long should one session be?
    • It might be a good idea to go over a proposed session plan on the last IRC meeting before the dev meeting. There happens to be one scheduled on Tuesday the same week.
