Sunbird and OpenGroupware.org integration
Stelian Pop writes in the netscape.public.mozilla.calendar newsgroup:
Hi all. I'm pleased to announce that I started working on connecting Sunbird to OpenGroupware. This integration should add some groupware features to Sunbird (mainly the ability to add attendees to an event, and to query the free/busy status for all the attendees). Technically Sunbird will talk to the OGo server using GroupDAV, a super set of WebDAV Ogo has defined here. There is no code yet as I'm just starting, but all feedback, thoughts and help will be appreciated.

OpenGroupware is server software similar to Microsoft Exchange, but it's free and open source, works on Linux servers, and they want it to work with as many email/groupware client apps as possible (Exchange only works with Outlook and Novell Evolution).
Lightning is going to add a calendar, tasks, etc. to Thunderbird (in a better way than the existing calendar extension) so they are somewhat related but not really.
Comment by James at February 16, 2005 12:40 AM | PermalinkOn a somewhat related note, Slashdot reported that Novell is opening up their mail/calendar server as a new project named "Hula". The Hula website indicates that Sunbird (via CalDAV) is on their list as a client they plan to support.

This sounds pretty cool ;-)
However, I am a little confused. How is this related to the recent news about Mozilla's Outlook-killer codenamed Lightning ? Or is there no relationship and is Lightning just an idea/vision and not a product ?
