Probably no one cares about this but me and sivran, but Seamonkey is being iced out of at least one major project. It's this kind of thing that will doom the browser suite overall. Because few devs
use the suite, and because for some reason some of them are "ignoring the trunk", the best browser is getting further abandoned.
The Achilles heel in trying to talk to Exchange servers from any Mozilla product is calendaring!
So I was trying to find out about Lightning/Calendar support and found this:
»
weblogs.mozillazine.org/ ··· _fr.htmlWill future releases of Lightning be made available for SeaMonkey as well?
No. Lightning support for SeaMonkey is currently experimental and there are known issues, which need to be resolved first. In addition, only Lightning builds from the trunk will work with SeaMonkey, but the developer focus is currently on the Mozilla 1.8 branch, as this is the code that the current Thunderbird release is based on. Lightning developer focus will only switch to what is now the trunk, once Thunderbird 3 is released. We expect the Thunderbird 3 release within the next 12-24 months.
Does this mean that SeaMonkey will only be a 2nd-class-citizen?
Yes, that is true. As the Lightning developers do not currently focus their efforts on the trunk and as no Lightning developers use SeaMonkey as their mail client, SeaMonkey will remain a 2nd-class-citizen until both of these facts change.
Original emphasis.
