Hey Dave,
What's the charter of this group?
Given the existence of m.d.seamonkey, to what other "suite" does this refer?

The Mozilla Suite still will get security fix releases (1.7.13, etc.),
so this group has a purpose, if only a small one. I doubt it will get
more than a couple messages, though.

That's be a Gerv question. Not sure if he's reading this group, so I've
CCed him. :)

This group is for development of the Corporation product "The Mozilla
Suite", currently in stable maintenance mode at version 1.7.12.
http://www.mozilla.org/products/mozilla1.x/

I don't expect it to be particularly high traffic :-) but I felt that
each Corporation product should have a group.

OK, I thought there weren't going to be any more 1.7.x releases.
I thought SeaMonkey had completely replaced/superseded it.

Thanks for the explanation.

Why did a mostly-discontinued product get a group before Thunderbird? I
know the Thunderbird group is coming, but why wasn't it (and a couple
others, like mozilla.general) there initially?

Go to mozilla.dev.general, and read my response to Peter Lairo, in the
thread titled "Why no m.d.a.Thunderbird (yet)?"

A Google link would have helped me, just now. :-(

Well, SeaMonkey is only in beta at the moment, and not everybody will
feel comfortable switching to an independent project, even if it is very
much backed by the Mozilla folks.

(I wrote this message yesterday. Why didn't I send it?)

Ah. m.d.a.mozilla-suite is higher than m.d.general, I hadn't gotten to
your message there yet. Okay. That makes sense. I much prefer the server
being up without some groups than not being up at all until that's
worked out.
