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

  • Get permission from Google to use their geolocation JSON service [KaiRo]. Contact at Google says: "We don't have a good estimate for when GLS will be opening up more broadly, but I will be sure to let you know when we take that step. Sorry that I can not be more specific at this time." - We can only wait right now.
    • KaiRo found out that the contact at Google changed. Also, discussing a possible open Geolocation service.

CLOSED

SeaMonkey 1.1.19 (1.x EOL)

  • Shipped. There were some problems with older Mac OS X systems not being able to run this release.
    • Reports are inconsistent. Some people can run it on Tiger successfully, others cannot. We don't think it is a Intel vs PPC problem, but other than that nobody has any insight into this currently.

SeaMonkey 2.0.4

open blockers (1) blocker requests (0) fixed (88)

  • Based on Gecko 1.9.1.9, targeted for March 30 - see Releases.
  • Thunderbird 3.0.4 should be synched up with us as well this time.
  • Builds are up and should go to the beta channel any moment.
  • Testing required, especially with L10n builds.
    • What needs to be tested is that the default bookmarks in a new profile and the crash reporter come up localized.

Feature List, Planning

Bug statistics for last two (full) weeks: 28 new, 25 fixed, 31 triaged.

Major wanted/needed features:

2.0.x

  • bug 423281 Help updates.
    • InvisibleSmiley has been working on updating help. Now has a webcvs account so he can update seamonkey-projects.org; and has applied for a Mozillazine knowledgebase account.
    • Shifting reviews to IanN to speed up reviews.
    • bug 463903 (form autocomplete documentation).
    • FAQ to cover e.g. double-click / down arrow in form fields?
      • No progress to report.
  • 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 1.9.1.9 bug 364864 (nsICategoryManager::deleteCategoryEntry does not persist outside of component registration).
    • Mnyromyr hopes to have something workable this weekend.
  • bug 471346 Port GetDefaultFeedReader to SeaMonkey shell service [mcsmurf].
    • Received a review. mcsmurf now needs to see how he can fix the review comments.

2.1

  • bug 460953 kill-rdf port [sgautherie].
    • Postponed until mcsmurf (or sgautherie) can resume work on it.
    • No progress.
  • bug 436794 Enable Mac OS X system address book per default and add UI.
    • SM UI needed, unowned, helpwanted.
  • 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 449728 Drag tabs between windows.
    • Jeffrey Lee, a Seneca student, is looking into that!
  • bug 498596 Places bookmarks.
    • KaiRo should have everything working, has posted a first round of patches, need two toolkit patches to land before any try builds can be done or something like that.
  • bug 480734 Satchel data editor ("Form Manager").
    • unowned so far.
  • bug 477845 Build a standalone (Gecko 1.9.3) Composer.
    • kaze will look into that once KompoZer 0.8 is done.
    • bug 477840 Backport KompoZer to Composer (Depends on bug 477845).
    • The Kompozer backport is going on, kaze will upload the patches to BMO when it's ready. Screenshot of current comm-central trunk build of KompoZer. Still a few glitches to fix, but the tabs, the split mode, the colored source view and the enhanced status bar work fine.
    • kaze has done a ton of work there. We're still trying to work out some organizational issues.
    • At the moment there is extreme disinterest 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.
  • 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.
    • 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.
  • bug 521927 Make Search, Folder Location and Views widgets for MailNews customizable toolbars.
    • IanN has a new patch waiting for reviews.
  • bug 545110 Add/port about:support (Troubleshooting Information page) to SeaMonkey
    • Depends on bug 518607 Move the Troubleshooting Information page into toolkit so other apps like Thunderbird and SeaMonkey can use it.

We also should take a look at the other items on wanted-seamonkey2.1+

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

    • sgautherie: not sure, but would be interested in more details first...
    • [Ratty] Perhaps turning it into a wiki might be useful.
