Calendar:Help

Work in progress

This page is the first attempt to restructure the help documentation that is available for Calender and Sunbird. As a start the existing help texts will be copied/duplicated to this page and restructured so that the other scattered pages could be taken off-line and be replaced with this page.

Calender Project and its components

• Calendar is the name of the project that has two distinct outputs which both use the same code base:
  • Lightning is a calendar extension for Mozilla Thunderbird. It offers calendaring features directly in the Thunderbird User Interface. Further integration features, such as e-mail invites or address book integration are planned for future releases.
  • Sunbird is our standalone calendar application. It doesn't need another client application to run at the cost of a larger download and higher memory requirements. Because of its standalone nature, Sunbird does not offer any kind of tight integration with an e-mail application, such as Mozilla Thunderbird.

Current Versions

• The latest official release of Lightning is 0.8
• The latest official release of Sunbird is 0.8

The latest Lightning and Sunbird official releases can be downloaded from the Calender Project home page.

This document focusses on latest development version as that should be released by the
time this document has any substance.
