Thunderbird 3.0alpha1 status: branch cut; candidate builds made; trunk re-opened


A release branch for 3.0alpha1 has been cut, so the mail/ and mailnews/ directories on trunk have been re-opened for checkins.

Furthermore, there are now candidate builds at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/nightly/3.0a1-candidates/build1/ under test.

Assuming the stars align, we hope to release alpha 1 early next week...

More possible extension fodder...

This seems like just the sort of research that would be fun to experiment with in a Tb extension:

Thunderbird extension idea: "Do Not Disturb"

While watching the ClearContext screencast, I saw a few different features which seem like they would be fairly nice to have in a mailer. What struck me particularly, though, was the "Do Not Disturb" idea, in the sense that whipping up an extension for it seems like it would be particularly easy. Anyone want to give it a shot?
