Mozilla.org Announces Open Source Calendar

Mike Potter writes: "According to an article at Mozillazine.org, Mozilla.org will be releasing an open source calendar. "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.

We need high-profile projects like this and Komodo to show off the immense power of the Mozilla platform. All you people who whine about how it "needs to just be a browser" need to realise that Mozilla people went out to create a completely cross-platform application framework, using XUL, Gecko and all the other top-notch technologies they have developed. Far from only enabling surface features such as skinning and scriptability, the engine allows for a wide range of programs to be written once and then available to all Mozilla users.

With Java being removed from Windows XP, and AOL poised to start including a Mozilla-based browser in their next version of Internet software, Mozilla could very well become the cross-platform development environment of choice. Keep an eye out for more Mozilla-based projects like this to come.
