Weekly Status Report, W33/2007

This status update is rather short, as I said previously, I spent Monday to Wednesday at home and mostly away from computers (see IRL://at/home/ ;-) ).
Additionally, I worked a bit on my web CMS/community system, automatically creating web-based documentation from source code comments - I hope that'll make further development work easier. :)

Here's a summary of SeaMonkey/Mozilla-related items I still did come around to work on in week 33/2007 (August 13 - 19):
  • Places History:
    As mentioned here a few days ago, I checked in the possibility build the new "places" backend for history in SeaMonkey with a special configure flag. As the UI doesn't work completely with this yet, we can turn this on by default yet.
  • Code Reviews:
    I reviewed a small string addition to help Lightning integration. Additionally, I swallowed the (for me) bitter pill and read through python code to review improvements of the new compare-locales script so that it works with more than just Firefox and Thunderbird.
    I also looked into reviewing the patches to get profile switching to work again from a running SeaMonkey, but I think we still have a few open items to discuss there, even if the patches all meet the main objective of the bug.
  • Infrastructure (tinderbox, AUS, website)
    As the Mozilla project converts to new Windows build machines built upon MozillaBuild (MSYS) and VC8 SP1, I filed a bug to also move community machines, including the SeaMonkey one, to this reference platform.
    A bug for switching to new Linux images does exist already, and I hope hope we'll get a box for L10n builds as well.
    On a different front, a machine for automatic updates of community products has been set up, once everything works for Sunbird, we'll look into getting it ready for SeaMonkey as well.
    After a long time, I've once again looked into setting up seamonkey-project.org as a separate website domain (when we do this, hosting will still be done by Mozilla, we need no other offers there). I still need to really get familiar with the website build system we are provided with and find out what kind of design would fit us best, but I have "something" working locally for testing. www.mozilla.org still works fine for us basically, though, so there's no real pressure on that, but at some point we'll probably arrive there.
  • L20n:
    While that proposed new framework for localization is cool, there's not much discussion or work going on around it, which is sad. I tried to get at least discussions going again this week by posting to newsgroups, my blog and mailing a few peers.
  • Various Discussions:
    IPC, venkman chrome errors and making it an extension, killing usage of old chromereg compatibility, killing old chromereg, suite start page changes, etc.

In other news, I did finally find the time to request a new passport and should get it this week, so that I'll even be able to travel to the US again. I hope I can visit the Mozilla headquarters at Mountain View some time in the near future. :)
