I followed your ideas and posted to the (already new) mailinglist of
Thunderbird: d...@openoffice.org. Would be nice, if you and all other
can join the discussion there.
Regards Mike.

To: d...@openoffice.org
Hi,
Mozilla wants to get rid of Thunderbird.
http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/mitchell/archives/2007/07/email_futures.html
The lead developer agreed on a new home, which could be sf.net or
openoffice.org
http://scott-macgregor.org/blog/
Openoffice is a quite good home.
There was the request, that OOo needs an Instant Messenger,
there are serverless (retroshare protocol = jabber2) and serverbased
(old-jabber) open source IM Protocols and clients-
OOo and Retroshare serverless Messenger already contacted for a
project start Workingtitle "RooSIM"):
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1751518&forum_id=618174
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1753227&forum_id=618174
In the new setting of a new vision for Thunderbird, one would be to
add Instant Messaging to Thunderbird Email and have both for
OpenOffice:
- serverbased and serverless
- Mail and Instant Message
- Online- and Offlinecommunication.
Any Ideas, how to check in the SVN of Thunderbird in a OOo-SVN?
How to add retroshare Messenger and Sundbird.sf.net lightning Calendar
project to TB?
Please contact from the managerial side of OOo Mozilla and negotiate
about the Thunderbird Name and Trademark. Otherwise a rebranding is
needed.
Who would join this project and can implement the retroshare code into
the contact list of Thunderbird? What are the needs for a roadmap? all
Thunderbird users then can send serverless Instant Messages amoung
each other.
First of all, a platform (SVN) is needed, where people can subscribe
to.
Please post a url with the SVN of TB at OOo.?
Feedback is welcome. Michael
