Hello Frndz,

Mozilla.org has released the first "official" beta release of Mozilla Sunbird, a standalone calendaring application. The Sunbird Project is a redesign of the Mozilla Calendar component, with a goal producing a cross platform calendar based on Mozilla's XUL user interface language.

Sunbird is aimed at users who want a calendar application based on Mozilla. The software works with the Mozilla Firefox web browser and the Mozilla Thunderbird mail client. Two flavors of the project are available -- one that works as a plugin to Firefox/Thunderbird/Mozilla (known as "Mozilla Calendar"), and the standalone calendaring application, currently known as "Mozilla Sunbird."

The group says that it hopes to improve footprint size and performance by focusing solely on the standalone calendar, and "by removing components and chrome we don't need." While Sunbird is still considered experimental, it is currently stable, according to the project. Additionally, the group says that although "Sunbird" is currently being used as the project's name, it may not be the final name for the software.

The software is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac OS X and can be downloaded here. Screenshots of the calendar in both modern and classic themes are available here.
