== Goals == The "'''Penelope" ''' project's intention is to join the Eudora® user experience with the Mozilla platform. We intend to produce a version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eudora_%28e-mail_client%29 Eudora ] that is open source and based on mozilla [[Mozilla]] and [[Thunderbird]]. It's *not* our intention to compete with Thunderbird; rather, we want to complement it.
We are committed to both preserving the Eudora user experience and to maintaining maximum compatibility, for both developers and users, with Thunderbird. It is our goal to build a single development community around Thunderbird and Eudora, so that both mailers advance faster than they previously have.
Note that if you are a current Eudora user who wishes to give Thunderbird a try, the Thunderbird importers for Eudora are a bit rough, especially for MacOS users. It may be worth waiting to try to import your mail until we make some improvements to the importers.

We expect this release to provide a bare minimum for Eudora users to feel comfortable, so that they can provide feedback and get involved in development.
The initial patch for the penelope Penelope extension (and associated files) was added 11/22/06 to bugzilla: bug [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359231 bug 359231]. This patch provides the familiar key mapping, icons, toolbar layout and column layout.
=== Release 0.5 ===

We expect this release to be useable usable by the most adventurous Eudora users.
=== Release 1.0 ===
