![]() ![]() Now Finally calendar addon is Back where it should be in the first place and Seamonkey is considered Mozilla app. THEN, some loonie at Mozilla decided to kill calendar addon for Seamonkey and I could not continue to use calendaring in Mozillla based Seamonkey (And Mozilla withdraw itself from Seamonkey development) I user to use long time ago Mozilla suite (before Seamonkey and Firefox/Thunderbird/Sunbird) and I used calendar addon and I was VERY happy in that time. (and to everyone without computer skills who wants to see Sunbird stay – and I know many webmail users who want that – just go on, advertize it on your blog on your websites, everywhere, build up the user base and increase the chance some dev or some company will notice and be interested in pursuing the development) And so far no real bugs, thus I’d say if it is a beta it’s pretty close to real stuff :-) The only hope is that some community group forms – similar to what happened with seamonkey – that will port back the Lightning stuff to Sunbird and make it progress…Īnyway, let me say that this new version of Sunbird (beta or not beta) rocks and remove some of the issue I had. We have rehashed a few times the Sunbird story already (although as someone said, it was supposed to stop at version 1.0 final not beta 1 – but I think they must be close enough…) and we know that the decision to stop development is not because the team does not want to continue, but because they just don’t have the manpower to continue. Is there enough money to fund specific students/contributors projects ? ![]() Since more than one year, it’s possible to make donations to the calendar project. For the end user, that would be quite similar to what is Sunbird today. Mentionned a possible option that would start Thunderbird with only calendar relevant UI. Talking about Sunbird’s possible future vision in another post of this weblog ( ), Philipp Separate Sunbird and Lightning releases, give some explanations for the numbering of the releases, and give estimated dates for future releases It would be nice to update the roadmap page ( ) : On the other side, all the Sunbird links on the main page of the Calendar project ( ) point to that 1.0 beta1 release … Is it because of the Beta status of this release ? In Sunbird 0.9, if I go to ‘Help’->’Check for Updates’ I get the answer :’There are no new updates available’ However, it would be interesting to have some feedback from the team on the following topics : I’m also a bit disappointed that this last beta ends up the Sunbird story, but I understand why the calendar team had to take this decision.
