Mozilla.org Announces Open Source Calendar

Posted by timothy on from the little-things-that-count dept.

"Thanks to an extremely generous offer of code from OEone Corporation, the new calendar project will have a significant codebase to start from. OEone make Penzilla, an operating environment for internet devices based on Linux and Mozilla. ... For more information on, and a technical description of Penzilla Calendar, see OEone's website." I think we'll be seeing a lot more applications built with Mozilla, now that its stable." Mundane as it may sound, with tabs in place (and behaving more sanely), a good calendar is probably my most-wished-for Mozilla feature. The screenshots certainly bode well for this one.

  1. An *excellent* calendar by benploni · · Score: 2, Redundant

    Want an *excellent* calendar? See: http://korganizer.kde.org/

    Korganizer has alarms, ical import, html export, kmail integration, and more. And it isn't massively bloated by Mozilla things like XUL, XPCOM and it's nasty brethren.
    Some screenshots:

    Use it enjoy it, and contribute to it.

    a) The Mozilla team is simply checking it in to the tree so that other people can work on it. They aren't touching it until after 1.0.

    b) The browser is the only part of Mozilla that is required. Everything else can be turned off during the install.

    So what's the problem?
