Experiments

Thunderbird Conversations

Nice progression of the userbase, went from ~2000 users on the 2.0 series to ~32000 (nice!). Lots of press coverage (lifehacker, lifehacker japan) which certainly helped.

Main issues:

• https://github.com/protz/GMail-Conversation-View/issues/333
• reply button near the top of the message (http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/topics/improvements_for_thunderbird_conversations)
• https://github.com/protz/GMail-Conversation-View/issues/309 (help welcome for that one)

Redirected the feedback to getsatisfaction (see http://getsatisfaction.com/mozilla_messaging/tags/conversations); any help is welcome. About to issue 2.0.7 to change the "would you like to leave some feedback" link to point to getsatisfaction.

Account Summary

• About ready to release version 1.1; just waiting to get some additional testing before uploading to AMO (probably on Friday). See bug 489999 for the XPI.

Schedule and Progress

Thunderbird 5 (Miramar)

• Currently doing throttled major updates as we keep an eye out for any stability issues. Should be opening it up later this week.
• Miramar nightlies have been stopped, redirecting users to early bird - It's a a two stage process you'll need to update twice to get there.

Thunderbird 6

• Thunderbird 6.0b1 is being build and tested - should be released by the end of the week.

Thunderbird 3.1.x

• Firefox have scheduled the next 1.9.2 release for August 16th.
• Bug Lists: 3.1
