    I just wanted to take a moment to thank the team on excellent work.
    Do you have a “donate” option, I’d like to support free-as-in-beer with beer. You deserve it ;)

    Bug 326430 “(Lightning) make the default calendar name (‘Home’) localizable” is the wrong bug.
    I think you want Bug 326439 “Lightning: Make default calendar name localizable”

    Hi!
    First of, great work!
    The only thing that I really miss (or don�t understand how to do) is to be able to automatically publish event I add to my local calendar.
    It works great if I set my calendar as a remote one, but if I then work offline I can�t see my calendar.
    As it is now, I have to manually select “Publish Entire Calendar” to get it published.
    In the “old” release it was possible to check an option called “Automatically publish changes”. How do I do this in the latest release?
    Oho.. and another question. Is there any official Support Forum for Calendar ?!
    Once again, thanks for a great product!!!
    BR

    Thank you guys for the big work in this piece of software. I have just a small question: is it possible to update xpi code so that it can be used also on Thunderbird 1.5? I see there is a release made by Mostafah Hosseini, but it is not a real nightly build. Is it? Thanks again!

    Every nightly build makes me more and more glad I switched away from Outlook. Great going guys!! I second the request for a Donate facility.
    Thanks!!

    Is it possible to import in an easy way the previously used Calendar 2.0 (Mozilla Apllication Suite) to Thunderbird/Lightening?

    I really appreciate your work on Sunbird. It is the only way I can keep my wife’s calendar and my calendar straight!
    Is there a way to create a banner that spans multiple days in the calendar instead of multiple boxes of the same event on different days? Does that make sense?
    Thanks again!

    Hi guys,
    Very nice work and I can’t wait to use it for everyday (I need Sync possibilities..) but concerning UI for the calendar could you have a look at what chandler has done.
    Thanks
