Re: Calling all Testers: Test Day January 30 and February 1st!!

=== What a Week! The Test Days Results Are In! ===

Frenzied, determined tenacity is what comes to mind when I try to 
describe these last few days. It has been quite a week here at 
calendar-qa. I asked for all the help we could muster, and you 
responded. Thank you. Take a look at what we accomplished:

* 2 Test days
* 29 People Involved
* 13 Bugs --> 4 stop ship on 0.3.1
* 341 Tests run! (315 Passed, 22 Failed, 4 Unclear)

This is a massive accomplishment. We also attempted to do some public 
announcements about the test day, and we owe xFallenAngel and 
Archaeopteryx thanks for their stellar efforts putting that together. We 
can thank Damian for the fact that there were only 4 unclear tests on 
these two test days. Thanks go out to eor who organized the second test 
day. Thanks to lilmatt and dmose who worked around the clock fixing bugs 
as fast as we found them. And a huge thank you to all the testers and 
moderators: andrewaclt, bbbrowning, jminta, beb, maarten, mschroeder, 
nightrat, skuribay, ssitter, ulf, paulivanov, excessory, matthaeus123, 
elichak, vanessa, zero_, tiago, frac, tomcat, asztal, mvillalo.

The winner of our test day is pretty new to the calendar-qa project. In 
addition to some great testing, he has worked to help broaden and build 
the calendar-qa community. Thank you and congratulations to Archaeopteryx.

As a direct result of all our good work, the February 2nd (tomorrow) 
build will likely be the 0.3.1 release candidate. So, we are not out of 
the woods yet. I will be holding a QA Work Session in #calendar-qa on

Category Item?

The ICS standard allow to have multiple Category items:

Within the "VEVENT", "VTODO" or "VJOURNAL" calendar components, more 
than one category can be specified as a list of categories separated by 
the COMMA character (US-ASCII decimal 44).

How is the Category item implemented with SB?
Had some trouble with importing from other source and also adding with 
the SB UI a multiple item.

Snooze button

This may already have been changed, but something I think is really weak 
in Sunbird 0.3 is the Snooze button.

In Schedule+, not only can you specify X minutes/hours/days until the 
next alarm, but there's also a "before hand" check box so that you can 
set the alarm to go off X days before the even rather than X days from 
now. I use this beforehand check box almost every time and the lack of 
it in Sunbird is my main irritation. Is something like this likely to be 
implemented?

Hope I've posted this in the right place?

Thanks
Damian

Re: String changes for Sunbird 0.3.1 and Lightning 0.3.1 release

Stefan's list of updated vs. non-updated locales is still correct.

Sunbird and Lightning 0.3.1 have entered the release candidate stage.
Please visit: http://ssitter.googlepages.com/compare-locales  and update 
your locales accordingly.

If you are having difficulty checking in, or are confused by the 
multiple branches, please either visit us in #calendar on 
irc.mozilla.org, or contact me directly via email.

We would like to lock the locales down in the next few days so we can 
get l10n RCs built and available for the localizers to look over and test.

Thanks
-lilmatt

Locale and Time Zone Verification Test Day on Friday for 0.3.1

Over the weekend we found bug 369270 in the 0.3.1 release candidate. Due 
to this and to the large number of locales that need to be verified, we 
are holding one more test day for 0.3.1. The test day will be on Friday, 
February 9th. It will begin at 13:00 UTC and last for twelve hours. We 
will be testing each locale to ensure that nothing is broken in the 
translation, and we will verify that the timezone fixes in 0.3.1 are 
working properly.

We are very close to release of 0.3.1. Please join us for this final 
push. You can find all the information about the test day here: 
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:Current_QA_TestDay

Thanks for your help.

Only one category is supported by the event-dialog.  A comma-separated 
list will be round-tripped however.  The views will add a border color 
for any category in the comma-separated list (but only for one category 
for each event).  There are other threads in this newsgroup about 
switching from a 'category' model to a tagging setup.  At this early 
stage in development, that code is not in place yet.

Can you elaborate?

I'm trying to sync SB with a PDA based on WindowsMobile. The "FinchSync" 
is a Java tool allowing it. But the concept it uses the "Category" item 
together with the ability to manually add further "Category" definitions 
within the Outlook Mobile  results with a Category string like:
CATEGORIES: <at> GUENTER:RmFx\;Geschäft\; Hauptkunde\; Ideen
.. which is not conform with the standard.
But also changing to:
CATEGORIES: <at> GUENTER:RmFx, Geschäft, Hauptkunde, Ideen
.. SB opens that one with the last "Ideen" and the others are not lost 
with the resulting ICS file --- as you said before.

Re: Locale and Time Zone Verification Test Day on Friday for 0.3.1

***Continuation of Localization Testing on 0.3.1***

Today has been an incredible day of testing. Testers, localizers, and 
hackers came together, joining forces to test 0.3.1 and its 
localizations. We have finished verifying almost all the Sunbird builds. 
However, our Lightning localizations were delayed and did not arrive 
until late in the day.

As a result, we are extending the test day through the weekend. If you 
have a chance, please take a build and run it through our small suite of 
Localization tests in Litmus.

I have summarized all the information about where we stand on the test 
day wiki. Using the table in the link below, you can determine which 
builds need to be verified and which have already been done. Localizers, 
you can use that same table to see if you have any issues you need to 
fix before we spin release candidate 2. We filed bugs for all the issues 
we found, and those bugs are listed there.

Here is the test day wiki with the table: 
http://wiki.mozilla.org/Calendar:QA_TestDay:2007-02-09#Where_We_Are_Now

I am extremely encouraged and excited about your response. Today the 
#calendar-qa channel broke its own record of 30 people involved during a 
test day! Please keep it going--we need to get all these localizations 
tested before we push to the final release.

Thank you very much for your time and energy.

Happy Testing!

Re: SyncML Extension

Hello Philip!

I would like to see this happening. Note I am saying the following
without knowing details about the old extension. I am not sure, but I
believe its based on either sunbird 0.2 or the old calendar
extension.

Please keep in mind that sunbird/lightning dosen't have any mechanisms
to syncronize two calendars (correct me if I am wrong). The only place
I can think of you being able to extend without adding major
functionality to sunbird (which is by no means bad ;) would be to
create a provider that serves calendars directly from the syncML
server, using a local calendar as a cache. If you are not happy with
that I am sure it would be appreciated if you try to think of a way to
generally synchronize two calendars of any provider. If you keep that
in mind, maybe it could be used in the mozilla tree.

Since syncML is only a set of XML requests, it shouldn't be too hard
to create such code for the latest versions, especially if you have
the old extension as a base. Its hard to tell you if forward-porting
that is "hard" or even a good idea as opposed to rewriting it from
scratch since I don't know how proficient you are with javascript and
such and also I don't know what the old code looks like.

I haven't heard of any effort to create a syncML extension, but don't
take my word for it. Please keep (at least me) updated about your
work, if you have questions feel free to visit #calendar on mozilla's
IRC.

InspectorWidget now also for Sunbird, Thunderbird, SeaMonkey and Flock

I've just updated the subject extension to now work for Sunbird (and 
also Thunderbird, SeaMonkey and Flock.) NOTE: this extension requires 
that the DOM Inspector be installed before it will work. This extension 
affords an easy method for accessing the chrome DOM model (toolbar 
buttons, menubars, &c) as well as the browser's content area DOM model, 
via a context menu popup.

I've submitted the update to a.m.o but until it has been approved, it 
can also be found here:

http://skypilot.projectit.com/extensions/inspectorwidget2x.xpi

PS: special thanks to Neil for his assistance.
