Mozilla Sunbird a.k.a. Calendar is a new bird in the Mozilla application family. The first 'official' beta version is out now.

Slashdot writes:

"Along with the new Mozilla-Japan initiative and the release of Mozilla 1.8a3 today, the Mozilla team released the first 'official' beta release of Mozilla Sunbird, version 0.2, a stand-alone calendaring application (similar to Apple's iCal).

There are two flavors of this project, one that works as a ~700 KB plugin to Firefox/Thunderbird/Mozilla (titled Mozilla Calendar) and the ~8 MB stand-alone calendaring application, Mozilla Sunbird (rate the apps over at GnomeFiles.org). These builds are the first to feature a new default theme, a new logo and the customizable toolbar functionality.

Note that Sunbird is still an experimental technology preview that contain bugs, but it is pretty stable."
