Weekly Status Report, W08/2011

Here's a summary of SeaMonkey/Mozilla-related work I've done in week 08/2011 (February 21 - 27, 2011):

• Mozilla work / Socorro:
  In my work for Mozilla, I finished going though all open Socorro bugs and categorize them (in Bugzilla tags for now), also adding some additional categories where it made sense to create an extra bucket to highlight a certain group of issues or requests.
  As a first spec for implementations of crash-stats features, I started work on an algorithm to identify "explosive" crashes in the system, i.e. ones with a significant increase in volume.
• Search Bar and OpenSearch Engine Manager:
  I didn't come around to actually do any more work on my optional search bar patch but I got the first round of review, as expected with a significant list of things I need to look into before doing another patch.
• Themes:
  Next to some sync-with-trunk work on LCARStrek and EarlyBlue, I also got around to doing some testing of the work-in-progress LCARStrek support for Firefox 4 and get some patches in to start making it usable. Still significantly more work to do there, but it's starting to move in the right direction.
• Various Discussions/Topics:
  SeaMonkey planning, Firefox moving to RC stage, getting used to a desktop touchscreen, deciding to upgrade desktop system and finding components, etc.

I currently find that my usual communications flow (bugmail, newsgroup and planet reading, etc.) and the fixed-time Mozilla work are taking up almost all time I have for doing work, so not very much is left over to care about real SeaMonkey tasks right now. I'll need to see if I can trim down the communication/information part to squeeze out more time - but then, a good part of that is info I need to coordinate what's going on in SeaMonkey, so some part of that counts for this, I guess.
The upside is that the SeaMonkey developer community makes good progress on fixing things without me really looking at its code, and we already have almost 50 fixed bugs for 2.1 Beta 3, even though Beta 2 has just been released a short time ago.
