One thing we didn’t do when posting about the status of the calendar extension XPI<\/a> was explicitly say what our browser<\/strong> strategy would be. This has become more of an issue since the release of Firefox<\/strong> 1.5, as people who have upgraded from Firefox<\/strong> 1.0x no longer have the option of using calendar.xpi.
\nWe do care about having a good calendaring integration story for the browser<\/strong>, but we’re still trying to figure out what we think that should be. One way of looking at it is that there are really a couple of pieces here: one involves supporting calendaring on the web (e.g. good hCalendar & ICS handling, other integration hooks for HTML calendaring software); the other is for full-fledged calendar management (a la Lightning or Sunbird).
\nOne possible solution for the calendar management piece might be to support Lightning in Firefox<\/strong>. Another option would be simply to have good linkage and handoff to Sunbird (or whatever your system calendar app happens to be). Or perhaps the management\/web split suggested above is not the best one, and there are other, better ways to handle these issues. Please feel free to comment with suggestions and thoughts.
\nIn any case, we’ve started thinking about and discussing these things, but we probably won’t be able to put enough time into this to lay out a real roadmap until after Lightning 0.1 ships. In the meantime, we’d like to suggest that folks who have been using the calendar extension consider using Sunbird, either version 0.2 or version 0.3 alpha 1, depending on your level of risk tolerance. Additionally, if you are currently a Firefox<\/strong> Calendar user and like that setup so much that you’re not willing to switch to Sunbird, we’d like to hear about why that is.
