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

  • "New bugzilla components action item" should be raised at MailNews/TB meeting for the bits still outstanding. In bug 471534 we still need Feed Handling for SeaMonkey; all the various MailNews core additions and moves; plus OS Integration for TB and Calendar. [KaiRo]
  • Create new bugzilla component for Feed Handling (detection/preview). [Ratty]
    • Suggestion: "Feed Discovery and Preview" | "Bugs in SeaMonkey's discovery of feeds and inline preview" | feed.handling@seamonkey.bugs
  • The Session Restore component has "session.restore@seamonkey.bugs.bugs" as the QA contact. We need to file a bug to get this fixed. [Ratty]

OPEN

CLOSED

  • Find a volunteer to drive the Modern theme updates into the tree. [KaiRo]
    • Posted about it on my blog, a guy contacted me and started to post patches, stuff needs more work though.
  • Make sure a bug is filed to create the UI for the mail archiving function available in the backend. [IanN]
  • Create new bugzilla components (to match Firefox and Thunderbird): [Ratty]
    • "Session Restore". Yes.
    • Tabs and Toolbars. KIV for the time being.
    • Note: Meta bug is bug 471534.

SeaMonkey 2 Beta 1

Bug Queries

open blockers all blockers blocker requests

  • SeaMonkey developers will need to nominate bugs that they think should be considered for blocking Beta 1.
  • Target/freeze dates? Sync with Thunderbird 3.0 beta 3 again?
    • Firefox 3.5b4 has a code freeze on April 6th and planned release on April 14th; Thunderbird 3.0b3 has strict freeze on April 28th, target ship date on May 5th.
    • The download manager and tabmail are the biggest things we're missing so far.
    • Tabmail is a perquisite for Lightning which we would like to support.
    • We will target to sync with Thunderbird at the moment and revisit this next meeting.

Longer-Term SeaMonkey 2 Planning

open wanted wanted requests

Major wanted/needed features:

  • bug 381157 Download manager backend.
    • Addressing review comments, fixed up a few local bugs.
    • Callek's a patch allowed testing and we uncovered a few surrounding issues, like import of download.rdf not working or toolkit tests failing, some parts of which have been fixed now (thanks to mcsmurf for the import patch).
    • KaiRo working on progress dialog UI in bug 483241.
  • bug 472001 UI for download manager.
    • Did some testing of the UI with Callek's backend patch, looks good so far. Need to do some testing on Modern and need to port tests from toolkit.
    • Also did some work on the rewrite and redesign of progress windows, see bug 483241
  • Toolbar customization:
    • bug 413385 MailNews.
      • Started work on this bug. Started a thread in mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey regarding some UI design issues that I needed feedback on.
    • Filed a UI bug 481862 to get suitable images for small icon mode in MailNews.
    • Did some work in bug 464653 to fine-tune the customize context menu item.
    • Plans on other components?
      • None at the moment. Volunteers welcome.
      • Customizable Composer toolbars would save us a whole pref panel.
  • bug 456757 Modern theme update.
    • Some patches posted, needs more work to not revert recent Modern changes.
  • bug 460699 Make the default theme look better on mac.
    • stefanh made some progress. First WIP patch posted.
  • 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.
  • bug 460953 Port jminta's kill-rdf to SeaMonkey where applicable.
    • Waiting for review. But there isn't any urgent need for progress on this as long as we don't break. It might be good for extensions if we to convert our folder pane to be JS-driven e.g. calendar wants to put items there.
  • bug 415372 Implement Feed Preview.
    • Review received. A new patch is expected soon (but still depending on the feed shell service).
    • asrail talked to the Firefox people about the use of sandboxes.
    • Expected to be in time for Beta 1.
    • Follow up issue: We still need to find some solution for internally subscribing when no feed account is there yet. We could probably magically create an account with default settings since we don't have much stuff in feed account settings.
    • bug 471346 (Port GetDefaultFeedReader to SeaMonkey shell service).
      • Waiting for review.
  • bug 460960 Port Thunderbird tabbed interface to MailNews.
    • The next disentangle patch should probably come today.
    • Then tabmail comes after that, but isn't really blocked by it.
    • Note: tabmail will break TB without some forking which is part of the disentanglement.
  • bug 348720 New icon set for "SeaMonkey Default Theme".
    • MReimer says that he will be finishing this up soon.
  • bug 465504 Include an identity indicator in primary chrome (EV certificate UI).
    • status/progress?
    • We should have the Larry icon in the urlbar, with a tooltip with the certificate name and "verified by". Clicking on this should open the security tab on page info. Here we should include the icons Firefox has in its larry popup. In addition, the certificate name should be in the status bar with the lock icon.
