As the new newsgroup structure is not yet there, we currently lack an own developer newsgroup for our project, but some interested people are listening here:
Finally, the SeaMonkey project has gone public now.
This all does only impact the trunk, the 1.7 tree is still fully managed by Mozilla Foundation, and Mozilla 1.7.x are the official releases.
From the new project, we plan to release a SeaMonkey 1.0 alpha based on Gecko 1.8b3, a final based on 1.8, and a beta somewhere between those.
Thanks to all people who support us and who helped us to get our project public. Special thanks to Asa and Chase for their help on organizational and technical stuff.

Are the 1.0a seamonkey nightlies the same as the Mozilla 1.8b2 nightlies or have they diverged? If so, how do they differ?
Thanks

They are the successors to the Mozilla 1.8b2 nightlies, which have stopped appearing, as Mozilla Foundation doesn't drive suite development on trunk any more.
So, SeaMonkey trunk nightlies are the same code as Mozilla trunk nightlies were previously, just rebranded (and with the usual flow of patches appearing)...

Sure, at the moment SeaMonkey just uses the Mozilla profile. Maybe some day SeaMonkey will get its own profile folder with a migrator for the Mozilla profile, but atm not.
