They want to get a majority of the bugs squashed and have unique features implemented before they break the big 1.0 milestone. Just like with Firefox. Anonymous wrote:

It’ll be more popular if they make a release called “1.0″. 0.x makes it look more betaish.

And unfortunately Sunbird/Lightning haven't become popular enough where extensions are being made to circumenvent the minor issues. As of right now there are only 29 extensions. ;) I’ve never actually seen a way to wrap the text, although that is a feature that I would like as well.

I have a few long entries in the calendar, and without wrapping it looks something like "E: Meeting with E..." (no, I won't have a meeting with myself, the other E refers to the person I'll meet with)I actually used to have the same problem with Google calendar, but found an extension to "fix it" (sometimes the text of 2-3 entries appear on top of eachother) Sorry for a double post – actually started to write the previous to ask this: Is there a way to wrap text entries in Lightning?

I had some major bugs with that, and even though I believe some were related to the Tbird theme I was using, others were clearly a "Lightning feature". Really nice work from the dev guys on this one - I'm finally thinking about trying offline calendars again (still syncing online of course)I'm still getting a few duplicate entries when importing/syncing online calendars (Google Calendar in this test, has happened with other online calendars before), but at least now it's much easier and faster to remove the extra post.So, how do I get the work calendar synced with this? For some reason the company is stuck on MS products, so of course we have Exchange, Outlook etc, but if possible I'd like to stay away from that at home, especially since I'm collecting info on moving completely to Linux (Sabayon or Ubuntu) at home, but still want to be up to date...

I'm a bit disappointed with Vista's built-in calendar application, and would have expected them to at least outdo Sunbird. They definitely didn't though.

I've been holding off on using Sunbird because it didn't impress me that much, but I am going to give it another shot! Good stuff!
