== Overview==
Sunbird and Lightning are aiming for a simultaneous release of their next version (0.5) in early 2007.  This page is meant to provide an overview of the status of that release.
 
== Schedule ==
* March 12 - string freeze - l10n begins
* March 24 - code freeze (If it's not in by now, it's missing the bus.)
* March 26 - functional testing by #calendar-qa, localizers check their work using nightlies
* March 30 - l10n freeze
* April 02 - first RC
* April 08 - release date or second RC, in case RC 1 was not good enough
* April 14 - release date, in case we need an RC 2
