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.
