418940 - [Tracking bug] dmoz editor account for SeaMonkey people regarding questions related to the Sidebar Directory

Status: NEW

(SeaMonkey :: Sidebar, defect)

Description

[steg]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.12) Gecko/20080201 SeaMonkey/1.1.8 Mnenhy/0.7.5.0
Build Identifier: 

The Sidebar Directory (F9, then a click on Tabs and then on Sidebar Directory) uses the Open Directory Project's Netscape/Sidebar category. In order to keep it current and prevent what bug 37877 comment 23 describes it would be good if "key" SeaMonkey people had editor accounts (dmoz staff says they won't do shared accounts but that they can sort out accounts for key people, as required). This, of course, should not and does not prevent anyone who'd like to volunteer for this category from applying, even if there's already a resident editor. Also see bug 384178 for more information.

Reproducible: Always

(Feature still there in SM 2.0, so bug still valid.)

This is not trunk-only, so setting version back to "unspecified". Versions don't apply to this.
