Looking for a Stand-Alone Calendar App?

Chadduss asks: "I don't know about all of you but I've been looking for a good calendar application for quite sometime. I have used the Mozilla calendar extension for Thunderbird but I had problems with it several times. Enter Mozilla Sunbird. That's right, another bird! It's still only version 0.1.1 but I for one hope to see it come out on top."

So, erm, what was the question again?

What were you asking slashdot?

Stealing from Pontiac again...

First Firebird, then Sunbird. Hmmm...did someone on the Mozilla core team work for GM, in particular Pontiac?

All kidding aside, I think this is a good thing because I think there are a lot of people out there using Outlook just as a calendar, which is complete overkill. Likewise, Thunderbird is a good thing because once again people are using Outlook only for email and that's overkill.

I was long awaiting the unveiling of another 'bird' app to complete the collection, but then Mozilla threw consistency to the winds with the renaming of Firebird... now I don't know what to think :(

Don't worry... due to naming issues Sunbird will shortly be renamed Sunfox. And Thunderbird will be called Thunderfox. All will be well, except for both apps sounding like poor porn star names :/

Re:Thunderbird + Sunbird

Still another idea, package Firefox, Thunderbird, nvu, and sunbird together in an online installer which downloads any of the components you select.

They could call it "The Mozilla Suite" and have them all tightly integrated with lots of overlapping code to conserve resources. There would be no problems maintaining a project this large. There would be no bloat or cruft or bugs, and we would achieve software nirvana.

There is a solution: FireSomething. For instance, I am browsing with Mozilla SpaceKoala today.
