Calendar:Help

Work in progress

This page is the first attempt to restructure the help documentation that is available for Calender and Sunbird. As a start the existing help texts will be copied/duplicated to this page and restructured so that the other scattered pages could be taken off-line and be replaced with this page.

Calender Project and its components

• Calendar is the name of the project that has two distinct outputs which both use the same code base:
  • Lightning is a calendar extension for Mozilla Thunderbird. It offers calendaring features directly in the Thunderbird User Interface. Further integration features, such as e-mail invites or address book integration are planned for future releases.
  • Sunbird is our standalone calendar application. It doesn't need another client application to run at the cost of a larger download and higher memory requirements. Because of its standalone nature, Sunbird does not offer any kind of tight integration with an e-mail application, such as Mozilla Thunderbird.

Current Versions

• The latest official release of Lightning is 0.8
• The latest official release of Sunbird is 0.8

This document focusses on latest development version as that should be released by the
time this document has any substance.
