What is being done
We are designing a version of Thunderbird, using add-ons, which is optimized specifically for use in netbooks.
Where is work taking place
- Designs
- Discussion
- Development
- Source Code
- Downloads are Available as Add-ons
When will this be finished
Individual Add-ons will be developed and released as they are ready and then added to the Netbook collection. This work is starting after the release of Thunderbird 3 and will continue between the Thunderbird 3.0 and 3.1 time frame; possibly further if needed.
Why is this being done
Netbooks are popular devices for connecting to the internet and email however they present new challenges in terms of display resolution and capacity which regular desktops don't have. Certain new ideas and implementations coming from this effort will likely land into the Thunderbird core as it makes sense.
