Feature Work

Account Provisioner:

• Contracts continue to be worked on.
• We're also working on making a version that's bundled with TB for wider testing.

Experiments

Thunderbird Conversations

• FOSDEM conference, see http://blog.xulforum.org/index.php?post/2011/02/06/Fosdem-2011
• Patches for Gecko submitted, patches for Thunderbird in the works (all improving Thunderbird Conversations somehow)
• Added content sniffing to figure out who did the action for get satisfaction emails as well as github emails
• Feature work + heavy refactoring

Compose in a tab

• High demand for it at FOSDEM
• Rewrote half the code to make it use thunderbird-stdlib
• Huge amount of work required to make it on par with the standard composition window.
• Planning on rewriting the other half soon so that other people can use a working prototype and start hacking on it. Will drive the experiment up to the point where's it's roughly usable as a drop-in replacement, and then will issue a call for participation.

Trunk (Miramar) Development

• Active branches.
• 3.3a2 Released
• Help on fixing blockers would be very useful and appreciated, see this list of higher priority bugs.
• blocking criteria :
  • Alpha n -> Serious usability issues.
  • After -> no real criteria, regression/usability issues as usual.
