Last time this was mensioned was middle of last year and I was wondering if Mozilla Sunbird going to be included in Rawhide in the near future? It looks a very interesting application and would like to see inclusion into Fedora at some point.
Evolutions Exchange plug-in is driving me mad. Fedora needs a decent calender app - and soon.

It *shouldn't* be.
* It is still in the early stages of development. * Initially, it would belong in Extras, not Core.
There are a number of other calendaring applications available in Fedora Core and Extras already. I personally use KDE and the KOrganizer application (from the kdepim package). It has all of the features of Sunbird, plus several more, and it has fewer bugs.
If you really want to see Sunbird become available, you're welcome to try packaging it and submitting it to Extras, but with the early stage it is currently in, and with its slow development so far, it will likely otherwise be a long time before you'll see it in Fedora. Note that the current CVS version does /not/ build correctly on Fedora Core.

Note also that the current preferred direction of Mozilla is using the Lightning extension to Thunderbird, rather than the standalone Sunbird application.

Garry,
It drives us all mad, but it all we've got that integrates with exchange at all. It should be noted that sunbird is a stand alone application and doesn't integrate with exchange or allow you to sync to a PDA. I'm really rooting for Lightning myself, I'd love to have a crossplatform open source Outlook killer out there.

I like the fact the Sunbird can connect to a WebDAV server on Apache and store it's calenders there. This mean people can share calenders and have similar functionality as users of shared calenders on exchange. I have almost given up with a decent exchange connector for any app and this looks like a decent alternative for group ca lander sharing. I would just like to test it. It would be nice to see it in development-extras at some point.
