In this mail, I'm doing a status roundup of <u>current
experiments</u>. I'd like to know what is the status of some
experiments that showed no recent activity. I also suggest two
more experiments that are, imho, simple enough that we could try
to land them in the 3.3 timeframe.<br>
<br>
<h4><b>Some big experiments of mine</b></h4>
<u>Thunderbird Conversations</u> is the most active experiment
right now, although the user base is quite low (~500 users for its
current version, the other 6k users are stuck on a one-year-old
version for the 3.1 series of Thunderbird). It's stable,
feature-rich, and provides what I think is a good replacement for
the standard message reader. There are some obscure prefs that it
still needs to respect, but honestly, I don't think that's very
important, and these obscure prefs probably shouldn't even exist.
The main issue right now is performance, and to achieve better
performance, it will require an overhaul of gloda (the
oft-discussed gloda-ng). This overhaul might happen this summer if
I find the time. Otherwise, it will have to wait. This means no
immediate plans to land this.<br>
<br>
<u>Compose in a tab</u> is making progress, although at a slow
pace. It is such a massive undertaking that it will probably
require more than just one person working on it to make it happen,
that is, if we want to make it happen, and I'm still not sure of
that :-). So no plans for landing there either.<br>
<br>
<h4><b>Unknown status</b></h4>
I don't know what are the current plans for:<br>
- <u>Mute Thread.</u><br>

maintain it and polish it as an addon<br>
