Mozilla Releases Mozilla Sunbird 0.2

Posted by simoniker on from the flutter-by dept.

Gentu writes "Along with the new Mozilla-Japan initiative and the release of Mozilla 1.8a3 today, the Mozilla team released the first 'official' beta release of Mozilla Sunbird, version 0.2, a stand-alone calendaring application (similar to Apple's iCal). There are two flavors of this project, one that works as a ~700 KB plugin to Firefox/Thunderbird/Mozilla (titled Mozilla Calendar) and the ~8 MB stand-alone calendaring application, Mozilla Sunbird (rate the apps over at GnomeFiles.org). These builds are the first to feature a new default theme, a new logo and the customizable toolbar functionality. Note that Sunbird is still an experimental technology preview that contain bugs, but it is pretty stable."

  1. Lot of work coming from that direction by MadFarmAnimalz · · Score: 5, Funny

    That whole mozilla suite project just seems to be generating a lot of really good software... There's firegoat, thunderbird, mozilla, alotofotherthingsidontknowaboutfox, and mozilla.

    I mean wow, those are some productive developers... Kudos.

    (though I keep on worrying that they'll slip out a kernel one of these days just to complete the operating environment... kernelzilla? mozillOS? Thunderbarf?)

    Just kidding :0 Thanks for all the great work!

    Isn't Mozilla just a bit to close to Godzilla for the Japanese market?

    Prepare for a name change. I'm thinking "Pikascape" or "Mozachu"

  4. Another goddamn car name by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ford Thunderbird
    Pontiac Firebird
    Pontiac Sunbird

    The Sunbird was an even crappier car than the Firebird. Think Cavalier+nasty plastic decorations.
