  1. "Integration" by oGMo · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The roadmap says:

    Lightning 0.2
    • Better Thunderbird integration
      • email<->task linkage
      • IMIP support
    • Improved CalDAV support

    My first thought at seeing the article was "integration? I thought the point was to separate them", but this seems to mean "integrate" like "let's make them talk better".

    The article on the other hand seems to misunderstand and say "the combined application" and imply they're building one big Thunderbird/Sunbird conglomerate. I don't think this is the case, reading the roadmap. Anyone have more data on this?
