Since it looks like 2.24b1 failed to build, will we see a 2.24b2 or
just straight to 2.24?
1. Our release engineering team says 2.24 uplift is on 3rd February.
2. There may or may not be a b1 but the timing is very tight.
3. "I'm very doubtful there'll be a b2"

And what does this lack/skipping of a stage, or two, of user testing
portend for the quality of the expected product release?

Well, whatever fixes go into Firefox go into SM. Whatever ESR fixes go
into Thunderbird go into SM. I remember a while back they said SM is
Well, yes and no. Fixes in shared areas with Firefox (Toolkit, Gecko)
would mostly be picked up automatically. Ditto for shared code with
Thunderbird (e.g. MailNews:Core)). If a feature requires some work on
front end code, someone might need to porting the changes to SeaMonkey.
If you know a bit of JavaScript and xhtml and CSS, you might even be
able to help.
And even as much as I am a hardcore/diehard SM user, I think it's a
drain on your already valuable resources. Have you guys though of just
killing SM off? I would be sad but even I think it's about time. The
main reason I use SM is because it seems more stable---to me---than
Firefox. But, you guys are trying to get a lot of metrics out of usage
and crash data, etc. out of Firefox and that code is not present in
SM. It's a missed opportunity if you guys keep going the way you are
with SM. I used to use Eudora for Email but since the morons at
Qualcomm abandoned it---even after saying they would not---I went to
Thunderbird, reluctantly, and haven't looked back. I needed a little
goading in the form of moving from XP to Windows 7 but it's what
basically forced me to jump ship and enjoy new benefits from better
apps.
not going to get the same love that Firefox gets. Bit of a red-headed
stepchild.
Some of the newer Firefox developers who joined Mozilla in the last few
years might not even know SeaMonkey exists.
There's probably a reason for that. I dunno how big the SM community
is but I can't imagine we're too big. Thanks for still giving us some
love though.
I wonder if the SM Consortium keep any stats on how many downloads there
are of the various versions released each six weeks!!
