<< My Take on Mozilla Messaging and SeaMonkey | The roads I take... | Integration eines Magento-2-Webshops mit FreeFinance und selbstgebautem Warenmanagement >>
Weekly Status Report, W07/2008
After a few extra days in the blogosphere's orbit, I can report a successful landing for the summary of SeaMonkey/Mozilla-related tasks I worked on in week 07/2008 (February 11 - 17, 2008):
I hope to see at least some of you this weekend in Brussels and hope to meet more of you in April when I'll be doing a trip to California - it now looks like we'll be visiting not only the San Francisco Bay Area, but will go for some long drives and go to Las Vegas and Los Angeles as well, as the friend of mine who joins me for this trip is eager to see as much as possible on his first US vacation. I just need to find some reasons now why I need to visit those other cities for business, so that financial authorities over here will still believe this is a business trip...
In any case, I'm looking forward to meet as many Mozillians as possible in Brussels and California!
- Preferences work:
I iterated through review comments on sanitize (clear private data), and started working on a part of appearance prefs, splitting content preferences from the main pane, but integrating UI language switching into that main panel instead (also worked on the ChatZilla changes needed along with that.
Additionally, I started porting the application preferences panel from Firefox to SeaMonkey, which turned out to be really heavy work, as it needed (and still needs) lots of rework due to review comments, a few times driving me into frustration - but I keep recovering and picking up work again. - FOSDEM:
As you probably already know, I'll be in Brussels this upcoming weekend, spending time in the Mozilla developer room at the FOSDEM conference, chatting with other Mozillians, listening to their talks and giving my own talk, titled "And the beast shall come forth..." about community project organization and SeaMonkey 2.
I've spent some times last week preparing this talk, doing more this week to make it short enough to fit in the given time slot. - Unicode … Ellipsis:
As the core toolkit has been switching from triple-dots to the unicode ellipsis in UI, even for menu entries ending in the famous three dots, I've filed and checked in a patch to do the same for SeaMonkey this week so that we stay consistent with the core.
Note to localizers: No semantic changes here, so the IDs stayed as they were, it's your choice to follow that change or not, but you should stay consistent with the what's being done for toolkit/core in your language. - Website, Bugzilla:
Two unrelated notes about small issues on two websites:
After a server upgrade this week, we saw internal server errors on the SeaMonkey website, the configuration was missing an option that has been added again now.
And as noted in a previous blog entry, we now have a SeaMonkey description and logo for the "Mozilla Application Suite" product on the bugzilla.mozilla.org bug entry pages. - Source L10n:
Polish has been added as the 12th language supported on SeaMonkey trunk, Czech has added ChatZilla support. - German L10n:
Not many changes this week for localizers, as Firefox is pretty much frozen, but kept the German core and SeaMonkey trees green. - Various Discussions:
California traveling, password manager (pending core fixes), toolbar customization (pending core fixes), JS 1.7 in XBL (done core fix!), overlay handling (pending core problem/fix), wrong Cu.import error reporting, full zoom changes, sidebar directories, mac menu icons and -moz-image-region (core problem), uncaught crashes, etc.
I hope to see at least some of you this weekend in Brussels and hope to meet more of you in April when I'll be doing a trip to California - it now looks like we'll be visiting not only the San Francisco Bay Area, but will go for some long drives and go to Las Vegas and Los Angeles as well, as the friend of mine who joins me for this trip is eager to see as much as possible on his first US vacation. I just need to find some reasons now why I need to visit those other cities for business, so that financial authorities over here will still believe this is a business trip...
In any case, I'm looking forward to meet as many Mozillians as possible in Brussels and California!
