Along the lines of the "What's the roadmap because we want to spread

topic came up there was a great deal of movement to work with the
Mozilla people to make an API to integrate Thunderbird into OOo as an
add-on (i.e., make the two easy to incorporate). Does anyone know where
this went?
Again this is missing the point the marketing list shouldn't solve the
problem since they are not in the position to solve it. They should just
come forward with an explanation on what is going on and what is there to
do.
For that matter, it should be a relatively simple matter to put a PIM
into OOo: just download the Mozilla Thunderbird code, tweak it a bit to
add the OOo graphics and "look and feel", and badda-boom, badda-bing,
you got yourselves a simple PIM/email client. IIRC, Mozilla's license
would allow this to be done. No need to reinvent the wheel; just get it
from a different supplier of wheels.
Any thoughts on this? I mean, it's such a simple solution that someone
else must have come up with this before, so there must be a reason why
it's not done.
This is totally irrelevant to the conversation. But tu answer you, the
first big difference is the toolkit which are different, there was a proof
of concept where a developer wanted to run OOo in XUL as opposed to the
proprietary (in nature) of VLC.
Is not that easy since the toolkits are very different from each other.
