http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/User:Attachment_Reminder
= Labs =0.3 Attachment Reminder == Just going to expand more features on Attachment Reminder Bug. Make it more user friendly. One of the ways to make it user friendly is to allow user to add new keywords which Thunderbird will look for in the body of the email. http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/User:Attachment_Reminder == 0.4 Attachment Reminder ==I forgot to write about this one. If you need to read more about this click [http://cdpatel1.blogspot.com/2009/01/attachment-reminder-04.html[here]]. == 0.5 Attachment Reminder==In this release I have addressed all the issues raised in the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244455#c33[comment]].I would encourage more and more people to download my [http://www.geocities.com/chinmay_patel@ymail.com/attachmentreminderPatcho5Beta.txt[patch]] and provide me some feedback. Moreover, I have created a [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/User:Cdpatel1#Suggestion_BOX[suggestion box]] in my profile page, feel free to edit it. == 0.6 (Attachment Reminder + LIBNOTIFY) ==This is a combined release of two BUGs: Attachment Reminder and LIBNOTIFY Notifications. I think, this could be the last patch for Attachment reminder. But, I am open to work more if needed.  My another task is to make Thunderbird notify new emails through LIBNOTIFY. I have started working on it and set up the required environment for the BUG. Here is the [http://www.geocities.com/chinmay_patel@ymail.com/patch_06_INDIA.txt[PATCH]]. == 0.7 Attachment Reminder + LIBNOTIFY + Tango Icons ==This release was a mix of three bugs. [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=244455[Attachment reminder bug]], [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478463[Libnotify bug]] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483777[Tango Icons Bug]].  It looks like, the Thunderbird community doesn't need the integration of LIBNOTIFY at the moment. I have submitted couple of patches to the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=478463[bug]], but it has no more requirement. Eventually, I have to drop the bug.
Moreover, I am going through my worst period in the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id== Lab 5 ==These are 244455[Attachment Reminder]] bug because I am not having any work done. I am submitting the 3 bugs patches but it doesn't apply properly. They say that are not perfectly related to my project but still somewhat related to itthe patch is bitrotten. Here What else can be happen if I they are ..checking the patch after the 2 weeks of upload date? But, I can certainly understand their busy schedule and try my best to get work done.
My prospect bug is [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=232500483777[Tango Icons bug]]. Currently, I don't have any idea what is going on with that bug. I only know that I am going to do that bug.
== 0.8 Attachment Reminder + Tango Icons ==0.8 is the combined release for [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=448971244455[Attachment Reminder Bug]] and [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483777[Tango Icons Bug]].
For the [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349547244455[Attachment reminder bug]], I am getting somewhat impatience. I am trying my best and still not be able to get it done. Improper apply of the patch and building errors for the patch are killing me. I am not getting the reason why my patches are creating so much issues in other machines? I guess, I have to create the patch and ask David Humphrey, if he can apply my patch and build Thunderbird. Hopefully, next will be my last patch.
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id== Lab 9 ==483777[Tango Icons bug]] is the most interesting bug for me. It contains some user interface stuffs that I like the most. In this bug, I have to apply the patch created by Andreas Nilsson, one of the community member, and make the patch compatible to the hg mercurial. In this bug, I have learned about combination of CSS, XUL and images in Thunderbird code.
Currently, I feel that I am getting all sorts of experience in the Thunderbird code. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I am feeling more satisfied and versatile. After working on all these bugs, I am more confident that I will be able to handle everything that comes to me in terms of coding.
= Building Thunderbird on Vista = 0.9 Attachment Reminder + Tango Icons ==This release is a landmark to me. I got the Attachment Reminder fixed. Megnus came up with Visual Studio 2008 =the patch including my errors fixed and adding some extra features. However, I still need to apply that patch, edit if required and ask for UI review. It will surely done by the end of the semester.
Although I am almost done by Attachment Reminder, I have lot of work to do in Tango icons Bug. I have to merge all those separate icons images into one big image. Then I have blogged about to refer to that image from the Thunderbird CSS. Evenhough It sounds so easy, it on my blog pagerequires a lot of manual coding. If you want help or referenceApart from all the work that I have to finish, you can go I will try my best to the link below and look at itget this bug done in next two weeks.

Chris Bishop== Collaborative and Community Development Practices ==This lab has provided a brief outline for Open source community. It gave us a main idea, "if the code is already written, don't waste your time in re-writing it. Just Copy and Paste it !!!" For this lab I have made a [http: //zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/Learning_Collaborative_Development_Lab_Fall_2008_Results#Cuil_Search[cuil]], a new search engine, search through Ubiquity.

4== Navigating the Mozilla source tree ==For navigation in Mozilla tree, I got a great tool called DOM inspector. Provided test his extensionIt helped me lot in exploring Thunderbird tree.DOM inspector is the best, as far as I know, tool to have a reference for Object Model. I have blogged about how to use it but it didn't show up on the Seneca Planet.
