Call For A New Default Theme For Mozilla Sunbird

Posted by timothy on from the snide-remark-about-rendering dept.

synopsis5 writes "The developers of Mozilla Sunbird, the standalone version of Mozilla Calendar, are looking for a new default theme and are asking the community to build a new one. Interested theme creators should read the guidelines posted in the MozillaZine Themes forum, which feature complete details. Submitted work must be licensed under the standard MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license and a rough showcase needs to be produced by Tuesday 13th July for the theme to be considered. A few showcases have already been brought forth and are discussed. Take a look!"

    The "marketing name" should be easy to remember and have unique association with the project.
    "Sunbird" is just one rare word.
    Everybody talks about "Sunbird calendar app" anyway, so why to increase the length of name?

    I know why they did it but it would have been nice if Firefox was stil Firebird... you know... for consistancy
    Or they could just change everything else to Thunderfox and Sunfox...
    Yeah... I think Sunbird deserved it's own animal group prehaps. Whatever, Mozilla is the one comapny that seems to be able to pull of inconsistant naming and improve their brand identity becausee of it (at least among geeks)
