Feature Work

Account Provisioner
  • The providers all preferred the old design to the new provider-first design, so we'll go with that, as long as the privacy review agrees.
  • Contracts are moving forward.
OpenSearch

Experiments

Blake to start taking a look at this instead of clarkbw

Thunderbird Conversations
  • All blocking bugs for b1 resolved. Waiting on the translators to finish before submitting to AMO.
  • New branch that allows you to comment on a bug directly from the quick reply area, assuming you are viewing a bugmail thread. Will merge to master after b1 is out. Works pretty great!
  • More polish, as always. Thunderbird work to enhance the interaction. Finally fixed (Thunderbird side) the long standing bug of the IMIP bar that would never disappear.
  • See https://github.com/protz/GMail-Conversation-View/issues?sort=created&direction=desc&state=open&page=1 if you want to give a hand.

Thunderbird Sync
Account Summary
  • Really (really!) close to a 1.0 release, just cleaning up a few things and closing out the last issues
  • Folder/account summaries now listen to events in order to stay up-to-date
Ubuntu Unity Integration
  • De-RDF'ing patch should be up on Bugzilla by the end of the day. Woo!
  • We've hit a minor roadblock wrt space on the Ubuntu O CD - the Canonical folk are still unsure whether or not there will be space for TB for this cycle (it doesn't sound like there will be), perhaps sharing libxul with Firefox will help
  • EDS contact integration still moving forward. I'm adding hooks to make the address book contact editor more extendable.
