SeaMonkey Meeting Details

Time: 4 October, 2011, 12:00 UTC
Location: #seamonkey IRC channel

Agenda

Who's taking minutes? -> Ratty
Nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank?
- I nominate Callek for the tremendous amount of work he's done recently setting up the software on the build machines. — Tonymec 13:30, 2 October 2011 (PDT)
- - I concur. Ewong
- Please note A person or entity can't be nominated twice in a row.

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

IanN to come up with a proposal on any additions/subtractions for the project areas page and send it around council/members.
IanN to write the "Friends of the Fish Tank" F.A.Q.

CLOSED

We should find a better way of getting nominees for Friends of the Fish Tank.
- We could put out a call for nominations the week before then, at the time of the meeting notice going out we could include any nominations (We need to come up with a quick FAQ as to what merits a nomination). IanN has put out an email to the members list. InvisibleSmiley came up with some sensible suggestions.
- We need to advertise such a thing happens even if it is only in the meeting notice.

Release Train

Callek is working on getting comm-aurora and comm-beta on MXR (bug 653424).
- Patch updated. Awaiting review
2.4 final shipped 27 September (along with the channel moves), 2.4.1 shipped 29 September and 2.5b1 shipped 30 September.
Target date for 2.5 is around 8th November.

Extensions Compatibility Tracking

Addon Compatibility Listings created and maintained by InvisibleSmiley, with help from some community members like DERoss.
- Recent changes can be found here.
- [InvisibleSmiley:] The External Sources part is still TODO, help appreciated.
Enigmail provides versions for release (AMO) and all branches (Enigmail nightly page)
Lightning currently provides versions for the current stable release (AMO), Aurora and trunk (both FTP) and Beta (Calendar Versions page).
The latest Firebug is now fully compatible but still not flagged as such on AMO (which seems to depend on automatic tests being set up and run on the Firebug side, see Issue 4430)
- [InvisibleSmiley] Use Firebug 1.9 pre-releases for 2.4 and later (maybe even earlier SM versions; haven't checked)
Besides the above, we should also take a look at other add-ons that are important for our users when they switch to 2.x.
- Useful query: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/extensions/?sort=popular
InvisibleSmiley created a FAQ Wiki page. Everybody please help update it, so it stays current without needing too much maintenance.
KaiRo created a SeaMonkey Features page and sub-pages for all those that are in development.

We need to get the Addon Compatibility page finished and better communicate how to keep Lightning and Enigmail updated since unfortunately the only versions provided on AMO are for the current stable release. People keep coming back reporting that e.g. Lightning stopped working on trunk, Aurora or Beta. But since it contains binary components, Lightning easily breaks if you don't retrieve the matching install file yourself.

We should also add some information on this to the release notes of future betas.

2.x (Last, Current, Next)

2.x Follow-ups and Issues

Lost Bookmarks bug 673474 and Cookies bug 673672 on auto-update from 2.0.14 to 2.x.
- Bookmarks can be re-imported from bookmarks.html.
Users are unhappy about various UX and usability issues with the new Data Manager.
- Ratty proposes that until all the major pain points are addressed, links to the old individual managers be established (probably from the various Data Manager panes).

2.4

open tracking (0) tracking requests (0) targeted (0) fixed (26)

The New 2.4 Features page has a comprehensive list of features.
2.4.x had ~57,700 ADU yesterday and 2.4.1 has had ~33,600 downloads so far.
- vs. 22,422 on 2.3, 5,050 on 2.2, 1,679 on 2.1 and 30,925 on 2.0. So, in the last two weeks, ~5k have migrated to 2.3 or above.
Also note that yesterday's numbers are somewhat low due to Germany having had a holiday.

2.Next

We need to make sure that anything that landed on comm-beta (for TB) or mozilla-beta (for FF) which affected non-shared code and which fixed regressions will be fixed on our side, too. Please mark bugs we feel *need* to land on a particular train tracking+ or tracking? so that when I go to do a release I can be sure I don't miss anything.
- We also need to try harder to fix regressions ASAP. Also keep an eye on and prioritize bugs to be ported from FF/TB that land on branches (Aurora, Beta). We need to keep an eye especially on Session Restore, Sync and Tabbrowser.
- We have to be careful not to break code shared with Thunderbird, otherwise patches might have to be backed out of string frozen repositories.
Please help updating the New 2.5 Features page as we go.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 58 new, 25 fixed, 14 triaged.

More new than fixed and triaged together...
- We need to go through those NEW bugs looking for dupes.
Good further triage targets could come out of looking at the component bug counts, pick yours!

IanN wonders when would be a good time to have another bug day. Perhaps in October, once 2.4 is out?

Tonymec and IanN wonder if the last time was mid-week or on weekend. Operation Nugzilla happened from May 18th to 20th (Wed to Fri).
Tonymec checks his calendar and suggests the last week of October e.g. 26th to 31st or so.
Tonymec to start a discussion in the sm-members list regarding the next bug day. We should give potential bug busters as much notice as possible.

Open reviews/flags: 31 review 12 super-review 0 ui-review 7 feedback

Major wanted/needed features:

Active

bug 606683 Allow customization of toolbar in Composer and MailNews Composition [IanN].
- Progressing slowly, still waiting on reviews from TB side. Full customization has to go to 2.next (currently 2.6 but could be pushed back further) as it needs work on TB too which is taking a while to get reviews on, plus feedback from kaze.
- IanN has done as much unpicking of Composer/Mail Compose code as possible in the dependent bugs, so will be reworking his customising patches.
de-RDF bug 654864 has been finished and landed on all development branches, including 2.3. Still to do:
- Neil wanted to follow up on some listener issues
- for the selection issue, see what the TB guys come up with in bug 669203
bug 477845 Build a standalone (Comm-central) Composer. [kaze]
- kaze has done a bit of work in this bug recently. Building on Windows works. Now supports debug builds on Linux if tests are disabled (--disable-tests). Still a lot to do.
- IanN will see if he can help get builds working with --enable-tests.

Needing help, Unowned, Stalled

Kill-RDF:
- bug 657607 Port jminta's kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable Part 2 [meta].
- bug 657604 Remove the RDF global object. [serge]
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 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 (Standard8).
bug 507841 Port Bug 422814 - Make account configuration quick, easy, and more secure (autoconfig, Quick Account Setup).
bug 533908 SeaMonkey Mail: tabs not restored [misak].
bug 523274 Complete new default theme icon set.
- A list of TODO icons is up in the bug.
bug 526210 Update the icon set for the SeaMonkey Modern Theme.
- bug 548778 New communicator icons (based on Strata theme) for SeaMonkey. 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 87098 [SeaMonkey] Delete key should delete location bar history list entry.
- Note: Our location bar history doesn't and can't use autocomplete at all.
bug 677484 Individual SeaMonkey components are not properly handled by the Windows 7 taskbar.
bug 654009 Reply to list: automatically determine From: address
- Note: The actual task here is to port bug 45715 "Reply to List" [button/(context) menu item]
