Weekly Status Report, W39/2009

Here's a summary of SeaMonkey/Mozilla-related work I've done in week 39/2009 (September 21 - 27, 2009):

• Releases:
  Once again, I spent a lot of time release driving work for 2.0, blockers are down to 5 and one request now. We are up to 113 fixed-seamonkey2.0 bugs now, quite a large number of small fixes landing to finish up this release.
• Default Theme Icons:
  I uploaded a new patch for the task icon part of the new icon set for the default theme that week, meanwhile this has already landed.
• Support Mails:
  I went through the accumulating support mails in my inbox subfolder once again (I only do that every few months) and replied to every mail there that hadn't got a reply from someone else. This always takes some time, but I don't want to leave such mails without any reply, even if it takes a long time to come and even if me or council are the wrong people to contact for support.
• ISPDB:
  I filed a few bugs on ISPDB, the database Mozilla Messaging is building for the "autoconfig" feature of Thunderbird 3, which we probably want to use for SeaMonkey as well in the future. It enables users to just enter their email address and have most account settings configured automatically by pulling the relevant info from the server.
• Statistics:
  I mailed Daniel from the Mozilla Metrics team if I could get a few numbers of how SeaMonkey 2 is doing, and he sent me some good data culminating in my recent blog post on SeaMonkey statistics. Interesting material, thanks, Daniel!
  I also received some interesting statistics on the spread of fixed bugs in the 2.0 cycle across people and components, I'll post about that when we get it updated after the code freeze.
• Various Discussions:
  Lightning support, 1.1.18, gloda, comm-central branching, Thunderbird UI changes, Mozilla Camp Europe, talk about Mozilla at a FOSS event in Vienna, etc.

I gave an interview this week with Mozilla Hispano, the English version of which has been posted to Mozilla Links.

And this weekend I'll be at EU MozCamp 2009 in Prague and hope to meet a few of you there - and show off SeaMonkey 2.0 there!
