I disagree. Users are *always* invited to participate in pre-release & nightly testing, submit code, assist in providing suggestion, etc., etc. You'll not find that (or at least not as openly) in other products that offer the same a SeaMonkey. We can all B&*%h & moan, but the fact remains that SeaMonkey is an opensource *all volunteer* project. If you can't develop, then at least test pre/nightly release. Provide feedback on the mozilla.dev.apps.seamonkey list or ask here. While I may have not agreed with all of the responses/feedback/comments I've received from some developers, I've *always* found the kind folks that support & work on SM in their own free time responsive & helpful. For that I definately thank them for both the fish and their kind work. If you'd like to help: http://www.seamonkey-project.org/dev/ Here's a thought; change to Thunderbird + Firefox (or Opera or some other mailclient/browser) for awhile. Don't use SeaMonkey. I've actually tried this on multiple occassions & I've *always* come back to SeaMonkey. I also tried this on multiple customers/friends/relatives; I installed Opera/Firefox/Zimbra Desktop/Chrome/Thunderbird/Safari, etc., and they *all* came back to SeaMonkey. Bottom line is that 'you' the user can indeed influence SeaMonkey. No it may not happen in 2.2.x, and you may get "well we can't due to the Firefox code), but in the end the user *can* influence & help SeaMonkey by participating in the project; report bugs, test pre-releases, participate on the dev list, write documentation, etc., etc. I can say that I've not done much (except test pre-releases) lately due to time issues, but I do think that every little bit helps. http://www.seamonkey-project.org/dev/get-involved _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
