Mozilla Releases Mozilla Sunbird 0.2

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."

At-rule for matching on site/document URL. Among other things, this makes site-specific user style rules possible (Great for changing it.slashdot.org's color scheme!)

Crap! Now, I have no excuse left to write custom css for all the sites I visit frequently.

What we need now from Mozilla

[dJCL]

What we now need from the mozilla camp is a unified tray application for both windows and linux(kde/gnome/whatever) that keeps tabs on things.

For Sunbird, it would notify you of upcoming meetings/events, and let you open sunbird to work with that info.

For Thunderbird, a program that would monitor your mail server(ala biff) and let you know when new mail is in. Clicking on the notification would open the mail in that program.(like the current notifications, minus the large(not huge) running app)

For firefox, well, I don't know really, maybe nothing, maybe keep an eye on RSS feeds, I don't actually use any real features of firefox other then viewing websites. Maybe it could let me know when slashdot is updated based on the RSS feed and then let me view the story?

I think this would be a great app, definatly usefull, and could avoid the bloat of leaving both calendar and mail open all the time(I do that myself, but on a vnc system somewhere).

Anyway...
