Hello,
why aren’t there any updates since march, 8th for the Trunk builds (for Thunderbird 3.0)for Windows?

@Pierre
Sunbird/Lightning Windows Trunk build server requires a Python installation/upgrade to fix the tinderbox bustage (Bug 373248).
Is Sunbird/Lightning being developed on trunk or 1.8 branch?
@Shawn
We cross-commit everything onto 1.8 and trunk, so both. Sunbird 0.3 and 0.3.1 were both released from trunk, while all releases of Lightning have been from the 1.8 branch. For stability reasons, Sunbird 0.5 will also be released from the 1.8 branch.

Awesome. I’m working on a Growl extension for Firefox and Thunderbird, and was seriously considering supporting doing something for Calendar/Lightning as well. Since it’s on the 1.8 branch, that makes things a lot easier (I can keep all my code in one extension).
If you are interested in more details, you can catch me on irc (sdwilsh), or e-mail me.
Hello. Did the strings already freeze for 0.5 as planned in your development calendar? I am waiting to start updating the Slovenian translation, don’t want to rush before you finish with adding new strings.
Hi miles,
yes the string freeze is in effect.
Hi
When will the nightly builds for mac osx version of lightning be updated? I see that the latest build is from march 9.
I tried to download Lightening and it told me it wasn’t compatible with Firefox. Is that true? I would think that people who use Thunderbird would use Firefox.
Toni,
Lightning is not supported on Firefox. Therefore you’ll have to download the lightning.xpi file to your hard disk and install this .xpi file in Thunderbird in the extensions/addons dialog.
hi, I have tranlated the Chinese Simplify version extend language,package, url link is :
http://daydayup.yiblog.com/sunbird-zh-CN_langpack.rar
I don’t know where to upload it.
@addiwang
The zh-CN locale is already registered for Sunbird/Lightning localization but was not updated for the last few releases.
I think it would be a good idea if you could contact the Chinese Localization Team. Maybe they can help you to update the zh-CN calendar localization in Mozilla CVS repository. This way it would be possible to automatically create zh-CN Sunbird builds for all platforms.
Where would I ask a question about using the Gcal Provider extension? I can’t get it to work in either .5pre or .6a1. Is it working? Am I an idiot?
mmh, thought I posted a comment last days, but can’t find it anywhere…
just loaded one of the latest nightly builds to check, but no change to 0.31…
so pleeeeeaaaase: implement either a button to switch calender-view on and off or make it possible to specify the position of lighting within thunderbird (I think, that’s more diffcult).
my thunderbird-profile has got about 6 different mail-accounts and even without the contacts-sidebar-extension there’s not really much room for a calendar without having a chance to hide it at least temporaryly…
so: pleeeeeeaaaase implemnt the button before freezing the code next days…
many thanx!
@human?
Just collapse the Lightning sidebar to the bottom or use the ltnToggler extension.
never seen this extension in public lists.
many thanks!
it works, even if a small lower- /upper-/close-button would be nice.
Ok, Simon, I just entered bug 375315 with an attachment of all changed localization files for Slovenian. Please, also someone delete the obsolete email.properties file (it is not in the English CVS, so that probably means it shouldnt be in the Slovenian CVS).
Thanks, m.
