Thunderbird Taking Flight

Best of luck to Scott, David, and the entire Thunderbird community as they move forward with their project. With greater autonomy comes more responsibility but also an exponential growth in possibilities. The future is bright!

Needless to say, given the state of the Mozilla Foundation/Corporation today, I think this is probably the best move for the Thunderbird community.
