Hope it is also remains available as a plug in, for the mail client mainly, but it'd be cool to have it for the browser too. How about, if it is a plug-in for both, only one install would be required. It could ask if the user wants it added to the other app too.

Isn't a bit soon to be making this standalone as well?

I could be wrong, but I imagine if it is to be standalone, the download will be at least 5MB, as compared to 565KB for the calendar as an extension. If people did want Firebird, Thunderbird, "Sunbird", and Composer, they would be looking at downloading over 25MB of stuff, and installing 4 different versions of the GRE.

I guess having the option doesn't hurt anything much, but it seems to me that the Chatzilla folks have a better approach - make stuff work as a Firebird/Mozilla extension for now, and create something standalone in the future when the architecture allows something more sensible. With everything going off of their own accord, we get the negatives of having separate apps, with none of the positives of having what should be a shared back-end.

Anyone someone posts a link to Bonsai in the forum, someone always replies with a message to not link to Bonsai since it can't handle the load. Now there's a link to Bonsai on the front page :)

Firebird, Thunderbird, Sunbird... Will the stand-alone Composer be called Skylark?

This proves it: Mozilla is for the birds. ;-)

Why couldn't we have gone with mammal car names? Mustang, Jaguar, Ram, Cougar

Thanks for the efforts, guys!

Prog.

I have Calendar installed as a plugin for both Firefox and Thunderbird on a Windows platform. Is there a command I can run to just launch the Calendar? I looked for command-line params, but only found -p for the profile editor of Firefox.

I look forward to the standalone Calendar and (anticipating...) the suite of apps (Firefox, Thunderbird, Skylark) that all use the same GRE.

I would be happy to have the calendar open when I open Firefox. I have reminders stored in the calendar, but I often forget to open calendar.

Thanks EZ

I think this is a good start, but has a few problems e.g. palm device doesn't show the same dates as I put on to the calender. I was also wondering about when is the new version .3 going to come out, and why isn't there a roadmap for the sunbird project.

Can't believe this got three posts from future times...

If anyone is still reading this post, I will personally be amazed. Anyway, if you want more information about Sunbird, I suggest reading Simon Paqual's weblog at <http://www.babylonsounds.com/blog.html>. I make NO guarantees about the validity of that link in the future, o'course, if people keep insisting on posting years after a post is made.
