Calendar Talk:Deprecated:Feature Requirements/Roadmap Review

I really like what I've seen of Sunbird. I'm a big proponent of the open source movement and am converting all of my applications over to open source.

I think a really good feature to add would be the ability to add annual recurring events that are a specific day of a specific week of a specific month. For example, the US Labor Day is the First Monday of September. The ability to add the Third Saturday of August would allow the ability to add the Chicago Air and Water Show. Adding the Last Monday of May would allow the ability to add the US holiday of Memorial Day. These features are in Outlook. More difficult however would be adding the Thursday before the Last Friday of November would allow the ability to add US Thanksgiving. I think adding these features would help with Sunbird gaining acceptence with business users.

I love the idea that my software is created by people who create software because they like to create software.

Thanks

jminta's reply to John: You can do your first request already in Sunbird. We'll use Labor Day as an example. Create an event on the first monday of September. In the recurrence options, choose 'Repeat every 12 months'. Now you'll see the option for 'On the first Monday of the month'. Tada! (This is all described in the FAQ.(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/faq.html#twelve_months) For the more complicated, such as Thanksgiving, this is requested in Bug 242499. (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=242499)

For future reference, you'll generally have more success making these requests in Bugzilla than in the wiki. But be sure to search first before filing a bug.
