Just a heads-up.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, we've never quite made the use of test pilot in
Thunderbird what we could have. Now, Firefox is removing the
current version of test pilot, (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=867445">bug
867445</a>) and implementing a revised version (<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=840108">bug
840108</a>).<br>
<br>
Additionally, Gecko is now removing a function that Test Pilot
relies on.<br>
<br>
There's been in the past complains about memory usage and other
issues when test pilot is installed, although as far as I know
there's been no confirmed issues.<br>
<br>
Given this all of this, but especially the Gecko breakage and what
Firefox are doing, I am accepting that we'll <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=883629">remove
test pilot</a> from Thunderbird. If we want to re-implement it
with Test Pilot 2 (or whatever it gets called) then we can do, but
for now, I think we might as well remove the current version of
Test Pilot, rather than trying to fix the issues it contained.<br>

Great. I'm all in favor of using the new version and figure out
where we should work for the future versions of TB. I think we
should work out what test we would like to run before tring to
implement a new version of TP.<br>
<br>
I'm thinking about the following things that I have alwas wanted to
know :<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li>% of people using NNTP</li>
<li>% of imap account vs pop</li>
<li>% of users using RSS</li>
<li># of accounts average</li>
</ul>
<br>
Then we can get into more specifics , but having these fgures woul
help us cncentrate on what our suers use.<br>
