Here's what I think Mozilla 1.0 should mean for mailnews. 1) I want mailnews to be apart of Mozilla 1.0, just as it is a part of other Mozilla milestone releases. 2) I want the mailnews that is part of Mozilla 1.0 to be better (performance, stability, etc) than it was on the last Mozilla milestone release, and better than it will be on the milestones between now and Mozilla 1.0.
That's it. Reading brendan's list of what makes a bug a Mozilla 1.0 bug, the one rule that applies to the mailnews application is: "Is fixing this bug vital to web content developers, Mozilla distributors, Gecko embedders, or others who will depend on 1.0 for stable code and a minimal set of frozen APIs?" Web content developers and gecko embedders aren't depending on mailnews the way they depend on DOM or XPCOM. All that matters is this: "is the bug vital to Mozilla distributors?". I'm working on the bugs that I feel are vital to those who distribute mozilla mailnews. -Seth Ben Bucksch wrote: > How do we define the Mozilla 1.0 > <http://www.mozilla.org/roadmap/mozilla-1.0.html> high-level goals > specific for Mailnews?
