Kutshanje, abaphuhlisi umxhasi wemeyile UThunderbird ubhengeze ukuhanjiswa kophuhliso yeprojekthi Kwinkampani eyahlukileyo, iMZLA Technologies Corporation, Yintoni Inkxaso yeSiseko seMozilla. Ukusukela, kude kube ngoku, iThunderbird ibixhaswe yiMozilla Foundation, eyayijongana nemicimbi yezemali neyomthetho, kodwa iziseko zophuhliso kunye neThunderbird zazahlukile eMozilla kwaye iprojekthi yaphuhliswa ngokwahlukeneyo.
I-maneuver yenzelwe ukuba kufundwe ukubakho kokubonelela ngeemveliso kunye neenkonzo zazingenakwenzeka kwimeko yeSiseko seMozilla. Ukongeza, sibona ukubakho kokunyusa ingeniso ngeminikelo kunye nentsebenziswano ukuze siphinde sityale imveliso yethu kunye neenkonzo.
Enyanisweni, Into ekufuneka igxininisiwe kukuba kukho ukwanda kweminikelo (yeprojekthi yeThunderbird) kunye nabasebenzi (kwezabasebenzi) ukuya kuthi ga kwinqanaba lokuba iinjongo zophuhliso ezinokubakho ngenxa yezi ntshukumo zacothiswa lulwakhiwo lwangaphakathi lweMozilla Foundation.
Ukususela ngo-2007, njengezixhobo ukusuka kwiSiseko seMozilla inciphile, izigqibo kwakufuneka zenziwe qhinga ukunqanda ukufa okuthile kweThunderbird.
Umongameli welo xesha uthathe isigqibo sokuyiphelisa le projekthi kwiSiseko esekwe kwimowudi yolawulo lweSeaMonkey ebanjelwe kwiziseko zophuhliso zeMozilla, kodwa akaxhamli kwimali nakwizibonelelo zabasebenzi zeMozilla Foundation.
Ekugqibeleni, iziko elitsha elipheleleyo liya kuyilwa ngezixhobo zalo zemali, kodwa oko kuyakusilela kwinqanaba lokuba isiseko sibuyela kwindawo yokuqala. Ukusukela ngo-2012, ukukhula kwesicelo semiyalezo kwakunzima kakhulu.
Ekupheleni kukaNovemba 2015, iSiseko sabhengeza kwakhona umnqweno wakho wokubona iklayenti yekhuriya imi ukuvumela iinjineli zakho ukuba zigxile ngcono kwiFirefox, ebaleka ngokukhawuleza okukhulu kuneThunderbird.
Ke ngoko kuthathwe amanyathelo okufumana ukuba ngubani onamandla okugcina iprojekthi. ukuqinisekisa ukuqhubeka kweprojekthi.
Ngo-Epreli 2016, iziphumo zophando zapapashwa kwaye kwahanjiswa izikhokelo ezininzi. ISiseko besinokhetho lokubeka iprojekthi, kwelinye icala, kubagqatswa abanjengaye Umbutho weSoftware yeNkululeko yokuGcina, esele ibambe iqela leeprojekthi zemithombo yasimahla nevulekileyo enje nge phpMyAdmin, Git, Inkscape, Mercurial.
Embindini wonyaka ka-2017, iMozilla ikhuphe isigwebo sayo ekugqibeleni yemigca eyahlukeneyo yokuboniswa eyenziweyo ukuqinisekisa ukusinda kweprojekthi yeThunderbird kwaye isiseko sinikezele ukuba sibe liziko elisemthethweni, lezemali kunye nezenkcubeko leThunderbird.
Oku kuthetha ukuba iBhunga leThunderbird kunye neqela lesiseko kufuneka basebenze kunye. ukwenza izigqibo ngexesha elifanelekileyo. Ukongeza, iqela leThunderbird kunye nebhodi bekulindeleke ukuba zibonelele ngokuzimela nokusebenza kunye nobuchwephesha kwiMozilla.
Kwimeko apho le miqathango ayinakufezekiswa, IMozilla inelungelo lokuphelisa indima yayo njengerhafu yeThunderbird kunye nomgcini osemthethweni, oko kuthetha ukuba I-Thunderbird kufuneka inikwe omnye umbutho kwisithuba seenyanga ezintandathu.
Ukufudukela kwinkampani eyahlukileyo kuyonyusa inkqubo yokuguquguquka, umzekelo, izakubonelela ngethuba lokuqesha abasebenzi ngokuzimeleyo, basebenze ngokukhawuleza okukhulu, kwaye basebenzise izimvo ezingenakwenzeka njengenxalenye yeMozilla Foundation.
Ngokukodwa uqeqesho lweemveliso ezinxulumene neThunderbird kunye neenkonzo kuyakhankanywa, kunye nokuveliswa kwengeniso ngemibutho kunye neminikelo yesisa. Utshintsho kulwakhiwo aluyi kuchaphazela iinkqubo zomsebenzi, imishini, ukwakhiwa kweqela, ishedyuli yokukhutshwa, kunye nohlobo lweprojekthi.
Ngoko ke, kubonakala ngathi ngumoya wesibini kumxhasi we-imeyile. I-Thunderbird ayitshintshi iithagethi ngenxa yolu tshintsho. Umxhasi wemiyalezo uhlala kubuchwephesha bemithombo evulekileyo esekwe kwimigangatho evulekileyo.
Kulawulo, khange kubekho lutshintsho ngokwebhodi yabalawuli yeThunderbird kunye neqela lophuhliso. Ngapha koko, olu tshintsho lilinganiselwe ukukhawulezisa nokwenza lula inkqubo yokwenza izigqibo ukuze isebenze ngokukhawuleza kwaye iphonononge izisombululo ezintsha.
