I read through the Mozilla Calendar page and I am still a bit unclear on the ultimate goal. Is it to build a personal calendar which can be shared to a limited extent, or to produce a groupware calendar that could be used to replace Lotus Notes or Microsoft Exchange?

The need for a group calendar system is probably the one factor that keeps many sites using MS Exchange.

gar... Mozilla 2002082308 + latest Calendar doesn't like each other - crashes always, if I close Calendar...:(

gotta regsiter xpcom components and make sure permissions are set reasonably

Like the title says, does anyone know if/when the Calendar will become a standard part of mozilla? I thought I read somewhere 1.2 alpha was the target for this, but hopefully someone has better info.

I did put up a build this afternoon that needed a preference set in your prefs.js file, which I must have added manually. If its not there, the calendar crashes (its since been put into a try catch statement) and brings down all of Mozilla. Sorry about that, the builds that are available now have that problem fixed. As for the goal of the project, the problem with making an exchange "killer" is that there is no calendar server available right now. There is no open source option for the server side of things. As it is, we're 1/2 way there. You can view other people's calendars, but you can't edit or add events to it. The other thing that we need is contacts integration. We have some initial code for that, but not enough to do anything like link contacts to events and schedule meetings with people. An Exchange replacement is where we would like to go, however there are many other steps between then and now. If you'd like to help out, keep grabbing new builds, file bugs, and help us code some of the new features. The project page, http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/ has links to open bugs, and some information on the requirements for the calendar. There hasn't been any talk lately of when the calendar is going to be integrated into the tree, but it won't be earlier than later this year I don't think. Mike

Question.

I already have Calendar installed, can I install the new build right on top of it? or do I have to delete it somehow? (if so, what files?) Thanks.

Specially XUL, it works gorgeously.

Congratulations Dave Hyatt!

Is there a way to synchro with outlook and pocet outlook?

I think that the people involved did a wonderful job. However I always thought that NS should have invested more in a strategic inclusion of calendar and teamwork functionality into the Mozilla/NS suite. Inclusion of the right features, especially for usage within companies would have made this an absolute killer feature that would be a serious threat to other, commercial solutions, thus widening and reinforcing the install base of mozilla/ns. The calendar, as it is now, and as it seems to be planned now is not really much more than countless other calendar apps that are available for windows or linux.

Try creating a new profile and see if that does the trick, it worked for me on Linux.

Anyone know how to backup the events created? I want to do a vanilla installation of Calander and Moz. because I can't seem to export my current setup. (only one event at a time)

Thanks

I really like calendar and I plan to use it as soon as it starts working as advertised. However, there's a few problems (win32, moz1.1final) that keep me from using it:

- How do I remove remote calendars? There appears to be no UI for this.

- How do I edit a calendars remote settings? I mistyped a url and can't edit it.

- Right clicking on a calendar brings up a pop-up (with no delete or edit option) but also deselects the calendar.

- How do I store a calendar on a password protected server (the ftp://uid:pwd@host/path trick doesn't seem to work for me)? I really don't want to publish my calendar to the whole world and a local only calendar seems pointless to me.

- How do I make a remote calendar default? I don't want any events stored locally.

- I know the url is incorrect but calendar doesn't give any sign of a failed server refresh. An error would seem appropriate.

I have no time to mess with bugzilla now and most of the above is probably in it already. If it's not then you know what to do :-). Keep up the good work.
