Experiments
Thunderbird Conversations
Huge row of bug fixes, released and pushed b2 to AMO, waiting on more feedback before doing a last batch of bugfixes and release the final 2.0 version. All the major changes have been pushed to later to allow me to focus on polishing and stabilizing. Help is welcome, as usual :-).
Compose in a tab
Cleaned up and submitted a new version to AMO, hopefully approved this time (three rejections in a row). I think I'll try to have it public and keep it "as is" before we reassess the priorities and how that fits in the larger plan.
Account Summary
- Version 1.0 released! (But still awaiting review...)
Ubuntu Unity Integration
- De-RDFing patch is going through the final stages of review - hope to merge it soon
- EDS contacts integration made some big strides last week in order to hit the "read-only" milestone for the end of the month - EDS contacts now:
- appear in the auto-complete To/Cc/Bcc fields
- are searchable
- show photos for contacts
- allow mailing lists
