Muva nje, onjiniyela iklayenti le-imeyili I-Thunderbird imemezele ukudluliswa kwentuthuko wephrojekthi enkampanini ehlukile, iMZLA Technologies Corporationyini insizakalo ye-Mozilla Foundation. Kusukela, kuze kube manje, iThunderbird ibixhaswe yiMozilla Foundation, ebhekele izindaba zezimali nezomthetho, kepha ingqalasizinda nokuthuthukiswa kweThunderbird bekuhlukile eMozilla kanti iphrojekthi yathuthukiswa ngokwehlukana.
I-maneuver yenzelwe ukutadisha ukuthi kungenzeka yini inikeze imikhiqizo nezinsizakalo lokho bekungenzeki kumongo weSisekelo seMozilla. Ngaphezu kwalokho, sibona amathuba okwenyuka kwemali engenayo ngeminikelo nobambiswano lokutshala kabusha ekwakhiweni kwemikhiqizo nezinsizakalo ezintsha.
Eqinisweni, okufanele kugcizelelwe ukuthi kube nokwanda kweminikelo (ngephrojekthi yeThunderbird) kanye nabasebenzi (kwezabasebenzi) kuze kufike ezingeni lokuthi izinhloso zentuthuko ngenxa yalezi zinyathelo zehliswe yisakhiwo sangaphakathi seMozilla Foundation.
Kusukela ngo-2007, njengezinsizakusebenza kusuka eMozilla Foundation kwehle, izinqumo kwakudingeka zenziwe amasu ukugwema ukufa okuthile kweThunderbird.
Umongameli wangaleso sikhathi uthathe isinqumo sokuwuhlukanisa lo msebenzi neSisekelo ngokususelwa kwimodi yokuphathwa kwe-SeaMonkey ebanjelwe kwingqalasizinda yeMozilla, kepha ayizuzi emalini nakwezabasebenzi beMozilla Foundation.
Ekugcineni, kuzokwakhiwa ibhizinisi eligcwele eligcwele ngezimali zalo, kepha lokho kuzohluleka kuze kube sezingeni lokuthi isisekelo sibuyela endaweni yokuqala. Kusukela ngo-2012, ukuthuthukiswa kohlelo lokusebenza lwemiyalezo kwakunzima kakhulu.
Ekupheleni kukaNovemba 2015, iSisekelo simemezele futhi isifiso sakho ukubona iklayenti lekhuriya limi ukuvumela onjiniyela bakho ukuthi bagxile kangcono kuFirefox, egijima kakhulu kuneThunderbird.
Ngakho-ke, kuthathwe izinyathelo zokuthola ukuthi ngubani onamandla okugcina iphrojekthi. ukuqinisekisa ukuqhubeka kwephrojekthi.
Ngo-Ephreli 2016, okutholwe yilo mbiko kwashicilelwa futhi kwethulwa imihlahlandlela eminingi. ISisekelo besinethuba lokubeka iphrojekthi, ngakolunye uhlangothi, kulabo abangaqokelwa ukhetho njengenhlangano yeSoftware Freedom Conservancy, esivele inamaphrojekthi amaningi emithombo evulekile njenge-phpMyAdmin, Git, Inkscape, Mercurial.
Maphakathi no-2017, iMozilla ikhiphe isinqumo sayo ekugcineni yemigqa eyahlukahlukene yokubonisa eyenziwayo ukuqinisekisa ukuqhubeka kwephrojekthi yeThunderbird futhi isisekelo sinikeze ukuthi kube yisikhungo sezomthetho, sezimali namasiko seThunderbird.
Lokhu bekusho ukuthi umkhandlu weThunderbird nethimba lesisekelo bekufanele basebenze ndawonye. ukwenza izinqumo ngesikhathi esifanele. Ngokwengeziwe, iqembu leThunderbird nebhodi bekulindeleke ukuthi linikeze ngokuzimela nokusebenza nobuchwepheshe obuvela kuMozilla.
Uma kwenzeka lezi zimo zingahlangatshezeki, IMozilla iyaligodla ilungelo lokuqeda umsebenzi wayo wokuba ngumgcini wentela nomgcini wezomthetho weThunderbird, okusho lokho I-Thunderbird kumele iphathiswe enye inhlangano zingakapheli izinyanga eziyisithupha.
Ukuthuthela enkampanini ehlukile kuzokhulisa ukuguquguquka kwenqubo, isibonelo, izonikeza ithuba lokuqasha abasebenzi ngokuzimela, basebenze ngokushesha okukhulu, futhi basebenzise imibono ebingenakwenzeka njengengxenye yeMozilla Foundation.
Ikakhulu ukuqeqeshwa kwemikhiqizo nezinsizakalo ezihlobene neThunderbird kuyashiwo, kanye nokwenziwa kwemali engenayo ngokusebenzisa izinhlangano neminikelo yokusiza. Izinguquko zesakhiwo ngeke zithinte izinqubo zomsebenzi, imishini, ukwakheka kwethimba lokuthuthukiswa, uhlelo lokukhishwa, kanye nemvelo evulekile yephrojekthi.
Ngakho-ke, Kubonakala sengathi kungumoya wesibili weklayenti le-imeyili. I-Thunderbird ayishintshi imigomo ngenxa yalokhu kudluliswa. Iklayenti lokuthumela imiyalezo lihlala kubuchwepheshe bemithombo evulekile ngokuya ngamazinga avulekile.
Ngokwezokuphatha, akukho zinguquko ezenzekile mayelana nebhodi labaqondisi beThunderbird nethimba lezentuthuko. Eqinisweni, lolu shintsho lukhawulelwe ekusheshiseni nasekwenzeni lula inqubo yokwenza izinqumo ukuze isebenze ngokushesha okukhulu futhi ihlole izixazululo ezintsha.
