Direct your MoFo donation to SeaMonkey!
Frank Hecker, Executive Director of the Mozilla Foundation (MoFo), just announced a "directed giving" program that allows you to designate your donation to specific projects in the Mozilla space, one of them being SeaMonkey.
David Boswell, known from mozdev.org and working at MoFo, has worked with the Foundation's board, us and other projects to get this program up and running for a while now, and it's a really great thing for all participants, I think - the Foundation, our projects and also all donators who want to support certain projects.
When you go to the new SeaMonkey donation page (to be linked from main project pages soon), you can make your donation to the Mozilla Foundation be directed specifically to the SeaMonkey project. As Frank states, the plan is to "take note of your choice, and keep track of how much money has been designated for each project. We'll then work with the people responsible for each project and come up with some worthy project-related initiatives for the Mozilla Foundation to fund using those designated donations."
The Donation FAQ has more info on the donation program as a whole.
And even better: The Foundation will triple every donation you make via this program until the end of the year! See Frank's post for more details on that.
We hope there will be a significant amount over time noted to be directed to SeaMonkey, so we can work out interested uses for it with the Foundation.
Thanks to David and Frank for making this great program a reality!

Weekly Status Report, W46/2007
Another week has passed, and here's a short summary of the SeaMonkey/Mozilla-related work I've done in week 46/2007 (November 12 - 18):
If you can do neither, read my recent Progress and help-wanted on SeaMonkey 2 post to get an impression of where we are going right at this moment. We are moving on, but we need some time to get this stable enough for regular use. Grant us that time and be rewarded with the best Internet suite ever produced.
- SeaMonkey Releases:
I uploaded even more SeaMonkey 1.1.6 contributed builds. - SeaMonkey Website:
The new SeaMonkey Website has been improved in some small cases, and some errors of the switch have been ironed out throughout the week. It looks like everything works well, but we surely will continue to improve this website over the next weeks and months. - SeaMonkey Project Structure:
Some more internal discussions in our core team around the SeaMonkey Council, hope to have decisions about this soon. - Source L10n:
Finally, source L10n for SeaMonkey is available now, and we added 2 languages last week and 3 more early this week, so that as of my writing, we have 6 localizations in addition to en-US generating build on trunk, including nightlies. Note that password manager, download manager and Windows integration are known to be broken on the localized builds, those will only work once we have new implementations for them and the respective dependencies of bug 286110 are solved.
The process for CVS-based ChatZilla langpacks is clearing up, some discussions are still left open though, I hope to get more input this week. - German L10n:
Some more work to keep up with trunk, also corrected a few errors reported with German trunk SeaMonkey builds. - Various Discussions:
Send-mail crash, cert override UI, feed discovery and support, browser notifications, login manager, storage templates (went in finally!), dictionary licensing, auto-update system, etc.
