SeaMonkey project areas

The project areas list acts as a "master list" for several other things: Most importantly, SeaMonkey's Bugzilla components list gets derived from it, but also things like CVS modules are based on it. It's similar in purpose to the Mozilla Module Owners list, and the Module Ownership document applies as far as possible, esp. its "Criteria for Module Ownership" section.
The list is managed by Robert Kaiser (KaiRo) <kairo@kairo.at>, contact him with any comments or suggestions for changes.
Note that only the owner of an area (or its parent area) or the SeaMonkey Council can decide on changes for a specific area. So if you want to get on the list as a peer, contact the owner. If you want to own an area, contact either the parent area's owner (if there is one) or the SeaMonkey Council.

If the table is too wide for your little screen, try a widescreen high-resolution one. :)

Note: This is still a draft version of that list, which is supposed to go to http://www.seamonkey-project.org/project-areas.html in the future. In the Owner and Peers columns, italic values mean proposed/volunteered but not assigned yet, and striked out old owners/peers mean people who have told us they want to hand over that area. Any question mark means that I'm unsure of that one - comments welcome!
There's a different document about bugzilla component restructuring now which also notes old components that get renamed or merged into the new ones listed here.
