  1. Can you help clarify something for me? Are the latest lightning nightly builds still compatible with Tb2?

  2. Wonderful. Thanks for the great work!
    Might I suggest a bug finding and fixing event for printing bugs in the calendar? That printing either doesn’t work or takes ages or doesn’t look good is the most common complaint I hear about Sunbird.

  3. Noah, the Lightning nightly builds only support current Thunderbird 3.0b1pre nightly builds.

  4. Wim,
    please file a bug for the l10n builds issue, so that it gets on the radar of our build team.

  7. Hi,
    I am trying out the latest lightning build for thunderbird 3. I see that the today pane is not visible in the status bar when in mail mode. Does anyone know how to display the today pane with the new futures events and tasks? I kind of liked the old today pane where it displayed all the near future events and tasks. Thanks for any information.

  8. Is there any change lightning could be built nightly for AMD64?
    I can’t install and that’makes it difficult to help with the testing.
