Calendar Weblog

The project website at http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar has been a little bit neglected for some time. For example we never had a section for Lightning, the Calendar extension was still advertised as our flagship product and there was also some outdated content there.

As of the last weekend this has changed. Here's a list of the changes made:

• All the shared content (about page, call for help, bug triaging guide, developers guide) has been consolidated into one section
• All our three products (Sunbird, Lightning, Calendar extension) have their own section now with information about the project, download locations, build guides, etc.)
• Outdated content has either been redirected (developer guide) or removed (calendar extension roadmap requirements document, calendar extension translations overview)
• The status of the Calendar extension has been clarified

It would be great, if you guys could test the new project site for broken links, further outdated content, etc. and/or give feedback about the reorganization and the website content in general.

Thanks,
Simon - Calendar Project webmaster

The next Sunbird release, named Sunbird 0.3a2, is really close. The list of blocker bugs is empty. That means that all that's still needed now is some last minute testing. We need your help for this!

Check out the release notes, download a build (windows, linux, mac), and do some testing. Use it, see if it works. The builds won't identify as 0.3a2 yet, but they should be really close.

Thanks everybody for making the next sunbird happen! That includes the developers, the testers and everybody else who helped.

We're making good progress on our way to the Sunbird 0.3 alpha2 release. As of yesterday, the last remaining release blockers have been fixed, so we should see a release pretty soon. Additionally, the following bugs have had fixes checked in since the last status update.

This week has been another busy week for the Calendar Squad. In addition to the general calendar meeting this week (notes here), we also had a separate meeting for Sunbird 0.3a2 release planning. The end result of this meeting was the identification of 3 specific goals for the upcoming release:

• Sunbird 0.3a2 should have no internal dataloss
• Sunbird 0.3a2 should fully utilize the new-views code.
• Sunbird 0.3a2 should have no major regressions from 0.3a1.

As a result of these goals, we did a bit of re-triaging of blockers for 0.3a2, and this current list should be pretty close to final.

Additionally, the following bugs have had fixes checked in since the last status update.

• Bug 325477: (Both) Begin implementing an undo/redo system for Lightning, fix places where Sunbird's undo/redo system should be used, but isn't
• Bug 331887: (Both) Make the 'Choose Calendar' dialog for import/export resizable

• Bug 327856: (Both) Views don't display 0-length events
• Bug 266241: (Lightning) Regression fix for previous checkin in this bug.
• Bug 331814: (Both) Convert event dialog's task percent complete from menulist to textbox with error handling.

• Bug 329737: (Both) Invalid alarms should just report an error, but not stop parsing
• Bug 301748: (Both) calIFileType isn't l10n friendly
• Bug 329571: (Both) Error when setting composite calendar's default calendar with usePref==true
• Bug 332268: (Both) Editing start date of all day events adds extra day to end date

• Bug 332265: (Sunbird) 'All' vs. 'This occurrence' selection ignored when deleting recurring event via keyboard.
• Bug 331796: (Both) The recurrence dialog should use dateFormat.properties (reduce l10n workload
