I blogged about this http://www.alexhudson.com/blog/2007/07/26/#thunderbird , primarily because I hack on http://www.bongo-project.org/ and would love to see Thunderbird really take advantage of some of the stuff our server can/could do. Primarily, I think Tbird has to become relevant to business users, even if just small business people, and it seems to me the obvious way to create a product which might generate revenue.

== A new vision and roadmap for Thunderbird. ==
1. adding sunbird lightning calendar to Thunderbird installer by default
2. Integrating serverless Instant Messenger retroshare.sf.net to Thunderbird
3. Creating a adress book in Thunderbird, which has: emailadress, retroshare-key fields for each contact (copy out line).
4. creating the online-contact box in the left menue as a contact list for Thunderbrid email, users are offline or online and can be messaged or emailed. So there is no need for a buddylist, it is just the contacts adressbook of Thunderbird, which appears in the write Window and under teh folders in the main window left.
5. Make a Thunderbird wizard, which picks up email-pop, retroshare cert_user.pem file OR creats an account for retroshare serverless IM.
These five steps to a new Thunderbird future combine both:
- online and offline communication
- Instant Messaging and Email
- serverless (new jabber-retroshare) and serverbased protocols (email)
- a new general interface to internet communication on the desktop.
If no new roadmap is done for Mozilla, let´s do it for openoffice.
A team could performed with all the developers of
Thunderbird, sunbird, and retroshare and maybe openoffice-developers.
BTW, there was an announcement, that 50 chinese developers invest in OOo,
so why no getting support here as well.
