Mozilla Lightning Calendar Nears 1.0
darthcamaro writes with this news from InternetNews: "Mozilla's Calendar effort has been in a tailspin for years as Firefox and more recently Thunderbird, have been actively pushed forward. Mozilla Lighting which is a calendar add-on for Thunderbird is finally hitting home with a 1.0 release as soon as September 27th. '"We're going to bite the bullet and call either our next release or the one after 1.0," Mozilla developer Philipp Kewisch blogged. "Afterwards we can newly decide on version numbers and I'll tell you one thing: I'm not going to go into the version number trap again. If at some point the next available version number is 2.0, then that's the way it is."'"
What a horribly obsolete piece of software. I'll wait till they have at least reached 10.

the semantics of version and start building a viable alternative to the microsoft office calendar. actual collaborative calendaring on the level of Lotus Notes or Exchange has been missing from linux for decades.
Good people go to bed earlier.
You're dumb.
Lemme go run lotus notes for my email, while i start up safari to brows the web, or perhaps chrome, on my apple. Time to open excel to sync against quicken. We're migrating to outlook? Damn.
Yeah, much better in the proprietary world. As if Acrobat, Distiller, Excel, Skype, DreamWeaver, Outlook, Cubase, Visio, Shazam, Symphony were so out-of-this-world that they could not find any english words related to their functionality to name them.
People know that a Honda Civic is a car (and not toothpaste nor cooking oil nor guitar amplifier) even though the name has no relationship whatsoever with transportation.
It still doesn't have google task API integration. People have been whining and bitching for years to get Google to release a Tasks API, and several months ago they finally did it. Still waiting for it in Lighting. Thunderbird will be everything I want once this happens.

You can repeat monthly and select [The Last] [Day of the month] in the custom options. Don't just select every 31st, because obvious some months don't have a 31st day!
You can also repeat monthly and select Recur on day(s) and click 1 and 15.
Don't see any issue here.
