message: Was wondering if you should add their aim stated on seamonkeys website.
"The SeaMonkey project is a community effort to deliver production-quality releases of code derived from the application formerly known as "Mozilla Application Suite". Whereas the main focus of the Mozilla Foundation is on Mozilla Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird, our group of dedicated volunteers works to ensure that you can have "everything but the kitchen sink" — and have it stable enough for corporate use."

message: Keep the article on Sea Monkey. I just downloaded Sea Monkey and it's faster and less of a resource hog than Mozilla 1.7. with a lot of tweaking. Just a different animal. Noles1984 22:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

message: There doesn't seem to be any mention here of what SeaMonkey actually does.  Is is just  Firefox+Thunderbird, or something similar to that, or is there anything else in the suite? HenryFlower 14:54, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought the first sentence covers that by saying it's an Internet suite. -- Schapel 15:55, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

text: Yes but Schapel, internet suite is a fairly broad term. I'm also kind of confused as to what the difference here is between just downloading seperate apps and download seamonkey. Are the browsing capabilities just FF rebadged or what? The biggest section of this article is about the name! Seems the priorities are a bit messed up.--Santahul 03:25, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  More than half a year later, this article still fails to provide a meaningful description of what its subject is. In computer-geek terms, it's more like a "release notes" or "diff" page than a proper article. Considering that people coming to this article to learn what "Seamonkey" is are not likely to know about Mozilla Application Suite, and that MAS appears to be defunct, which means no one is reading about it anew even in the trade press, this is a serious flaw. (We don't go to Persian Empire to learn about Iran, after all.) Can the editors of this article take a few moments to rectify this basic problem? Thanks. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 18:55, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

message: As mentioned earlier in the discussion, this article is very vague as to what the software actually does, it just says "internet suite". A more in-depth section about exactly what it can and can't do seems obvious as I'm still unsure myself after reading this article. It would also be nice to know how SeaMonkey works alongside Firefox, Thunderbird etc. For example, is the built-in web browser just rebadged Firefox or is it a browser in its own right based on Mozilla? This article spends more time discussing the name than anything else.--Santahul 13:42, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: In the Licensing section of the Mozilla Firefox article it is stated that the binaries of Firefox are proprietary because of Talkback. The FSF sees also other issues and therefore did a fork but »Google and Mozilla developers are working on Airbag, an open-source replacement for Talkback, that will allow official Firefox builds to be entirely free of proprietary software.« Now what about SeaMonkey and Thunderbird? If there is no opposition, I will remove all the »free ...« categories an add Category:Freeware -- mms 15:33, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Is there a portable version of SeaMonkey?  It would be helpful if the article mentioned this. 69.87.193.176 12:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That statement is very misleading, since it implies that SeaMonkey is not portable across operating systems; whereas what it really means is that it cannot be easily used by putting it on a USB disk and using it on multiple computers of the same operating system (eg, MS Windows). I'm removing that line from the article. --Mike 07:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: SeaMonkey ... consists of a Navigator which is a descendant of the Netscape family
"Navigator" links directly to Web browser here. I believe that many Wikipedia users are likely to recognize the term "web browser" when they see it, but might not understand that "Navigator" here means "web browser". (Following on "yes, but what does it do?" above 
I suggest that we change this to: "SeaMonkey ... consists of a web browser which is a descendant of the Netscape family ..." or to "SeaMonkey ... consists of the web browser, Navigator, which is a descendant of the Netscape family ..." (if that last is correct - I don't know myself.) 
Or am I completely off the mark here? -- Writtenonsand (talk) 12:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not an expert in wiki formalities so I apologise if I'm incorrect in this matter but I don't believe that the revision history should be here. I think there is such a thing as too much detail. If this information is to be provided it should be summarised and describe differences between major releases as opposed to "bug fixes" which is quite meaningless. I think at the moment it has been put in simply as filler. If this article has more relevent information added (is edited to a state that can be regarded as "complete" or "full") then the revisions history should definitely be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.85.4.179 (talk) 09:55, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

message: SeaMonkey composer is so full of bugs that were present in Netscape composer 12 years ago in 1998 (like the annoying right click does a select all) that I don't think that it is a) supported or b) used by anyone. 
It is very, very, very much not what you see is what you get. Just like the .html e-mail in Thunderbird (which also has Netscape bugs circa 1998), it will very often show the author, for example, an all-Arial font page, then when looking at that mail on the computer of the recipient, or after saving it out to an .html file, you will see that it is chock full of words and lines of New Times Roman, and that anything that was cut and pasted in is painfully obvious to the viewer later on, because the fonts don't match, even though the author selected paste without formatting or repeatedly set all fonts to Arial. 
This article should point out that one of the "components" of the Mozilla Suite is about as used, useful, and relevant as throwing in a copy of Windows 3.1.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.127.100.147 (talk) 07:36, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The article currently uses the name "SeaMonkey Navigator" for the web browser part of SeaMonkey. However, I only see the word "Browser" in version 2.3.3 (when pointing the mouse at the earth globe icon at the bottom-left part of the window or when opening the "Window" menu from the menu bar).

replies: text: Furthermore, I see that the word "SeaMonkey" appear in the names of various components in this article (e.g. "SeaMonkey Composer"), but this word is not there in my copy of the product.
