SeaMonkey 2 Alpha

open blockers all blockers blocker requests

FREEZE TODAY!

All SeaMonkey-specific patches from tomorrow until the Alpha 1 cut (unfreezing) need approval-seamonkey2.0a1+ (or being for blocking-seamonkey2.0a1+ bugs)!

• bug 394522 prefwindow move
  • Status/Progress?
    • bug 444170 (Master Password) - Done.
    • bug 444411 (Browser > Languages) Assigned (stefanh Away). help-wanted to drive forward - IanN has started work on it, hoping to get a patch ready for review tonight.
    • bug 444582 (Download) Fixed except for Profile migration patch.
    • bug 445015 (Validation) - Waiting for reviews.
• Other blockers? Status/Progress?
• Blocker triage?
  • IanN started the triaging of blockers on behalf of the SM Council - 5 need further review, they probably need a council decision, and 2 new have been added which are unconfirmed - I will look at those 2 later today.
• Shipping target - is the freeze today still OK? When can we target actually shipping this?
  • What areas does freeze cover? (e.g. mailnews/ suite? - note: TB's freeze moved out by two weeks).
• Release notes
  • We need to gather a list of major changes to 1.1.x this contains
  • Should we restructure relnotes completely? Who can help with that?

Longer-Term SeaMonkey 2 Planning

Major wanted/needed features:

• bug 381157 download manager
  • Status/Progress?
• bug 390025 kill-wallet (password manager)
  • Updated LDAP patch
  • Now starting to look at SMTP.
• bug 382187 places history
  • Neil made the urlbar autocomplete ("Smart Location Bar") work just nicely
  • still help needed to make history window/sidebar work
• bug 36810 session restore
  • Status: waiting for reviews. Misak is keeping this patch up to date porting latest patches from the other browser.

Other topic:

• Toolkit feature-freeze (beta 1 code freeze) now Sept 30th - what needs to land before that from our POV?
• Documentation should be redone, we need someone to work on that
  • one idea is to auto-import in-product help pages to website but someone would need to write up a script to do that
  • another idea is migrating end-user documentation from www.mozilla.org to seamonkey-project.org, reqorking it to be current - help wanted!
  • yet another idea would be to set up the SUMO system for SeaMonkey to get a knowledge base and web forums (we probably don't have the manpower for live chat support), some lose contact to SUMO people is here, but also help needed
