I know this is perhaps a little of topic, but is there any chance of a standalone composer build coming out? I know Nva exists, but I would like something from the Mozilla Organisation.

Keeping my fingers crossed. :-)

the article is less than clear, it likns to a proposal that has 3 proposed icon:

http://axentra.net/www/sunbird/logo_contest_set1.html

which one actually won? i really hope it isnt either of those blaring green ones, the third orange one matches the color scheme of its sibling icons really well too...

I actually prefer the green; The orange could have been somewhat difficult to distinguish from Fx's icon at a glance. I think it is the green one, too, as it is the one that's displayed next to the Fx and Tb logos.

Trust me, it's the green one that won the contest, so that is what is being incorporated into Sunbird. The logo will undergo some degree of refinement, but the overall color scheme will remain more green than red/orange.

Unfortunately, I use older Linux with only GTK1. I'd like to have GTK1 builds as well [same for Firefox :-(].

The latest xpi I found here http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/download.html is dated 2004-08-09

The XPI dated 2004-08-09 is an extension to Mozilla suite, it is not Sunbird (the standalone calendar application) and it does not have the latest theme changes, etc.

would love anyone's thoughts on this: on my debian unstable system, both sunbird and the plugins will not publish or refresh remote calendars. i'm using https:// - either action just sits there and spins the "busy" indicator forever.

The new sunbird looks very good! The new theme is excellent. I wonder why the foundation doesn't do more promote sunbird. Adding Sunbird to the list of technology previews and another extra tab on update.mozilla.org would be a good start.

I really wish sunbird gets the ability to run in a quicklaunch style mode so that I can recieve alarms without having to have a window open.

I'm glad the color is green. It is nice to have different colors as long it doesn't have to be the same color as the other products like Firefox and Thunderbird for example. Um, maybe a darker green would help....

There is a 3rd party tool underdevelopment to minimize both Calendar (extenstion) and Sunbird (standalong app) to the system tray in Windows. Refer to this forum thread: <a href="http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=95995">http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=95995</a>

I like Sunbird a lot but what about Address Book? I think it would be cool if they add Address Book feature too.

I think Sunbird should have two seperate features: Calenders and Address Book.

Sunbird look nice and all... but what I was hoping for was a Mozilla organization Composer. Finish your suite of net browsing apps before your start working on productivity stuff. It's not that I mind this kind of stuff... but I can't continue making web pages with crappy composers like FrontPage and the clunky one that comes with Mozilla. I need a standalone composer BAD.

Am I missing something or is there no Refill Birdfeeder icon on the date the bird's pointing to with its long little pointy beak? Or maybe the bird's just about to commence scratching a Refill Birdfeeder icon on the calendar with its beak :)
