Help cleanup

State of work: 2016-07-06 07:00 (involved …)

I have started to submit Bugzilla bug reports for every problem I observe in SeaMonkey Help. The plan is to collect bug reports for a while — 15^th of May or so. When we have a first overview what kinds of problems will need a fix and how the fixes can be done we/I will try to find volunteers to do the patches (preferably interested developer-volunteers, for example from Openhatch). My own skills to do such fixes are very limited.

Additionally we will have to try to get those changes into the localizations.

Any help is appreciated. For example, for some problems it’s currently unclear how a fix can be done. Please add you comments in the bug reports or — in a pinch — here in the blog.

Meta-bug for this work: Bug 1268037 – (meta) Help cleanup 2016

Involved:

Suraj Ghimire [:ghishadow],  Isaac Schemm, :stefanh, Frank-Rainer Grahl and others (and you?)

 

 

 

 

 

AMO Browsing for SeaMonkey 0.9.12 is on AMO

We now  are going to get listed the great tool on AMO, review will happen within few days. Can you please contribute additional test results (here as comments) whether AMO Browsing for SeaMonkey 0.9.12 also works with other Operation Systems (Linux, MAC)? Before you type a comment about a bug or possible enhancement you found please read known issues on Github.

Additionally some more feedback concerning compatibility of converted add-ons would be great, please use feedback e-mail-form from Download-Page.

SeaMonkey-Project on DMOZ – 2

Invited by an email from Philip Chee (SeaMonkey) and Laura Brown (DMOZ) I did some research at Top: Computers: Software: Internet: Clients: SeaMonkey: Ports, results you find below in a copy from that DMOZ page.

New: AMO-Browsing-for-SeaMonkey 0.9.11

The new version of this add-on has been created for a new attempt to get the add-on to AMO (Bug 1224520 – Upload “AMO Browsing for SeaMonkey” to AMO), additionally an  external style sheet that should make future changes a bit easier.

Enhancements for AMO-Browsing-Add-On

AMO-Browsing-Add-On is available, works fine and is a great relief for everybody who uses add-ons which are not compatible for SeaMonkey from the scratch.

New Style at AMO

So an older version of the style looked during my tests.

As  announced we now have a new Style on AMO. The contrast in the upper blue area now is some better than during my test, and the footer does no longer have blue background with very bad contrast. Real progress or only new to have something new   😉

—  what is your opinion?
