It has been requested on the mailinglist: OOo needs an Email Client and Instant Messenger. Ideally both under one hood/gui. so please decide, and if the core developers are not joining, then it is a fork-partnership. What is the difference, by Scott requesting a Mailclient in OOo or anyone else in OOo? OOo Dev should know the history of the lack of an Emailclient, so I wounder why there is no initiative now. ;-) This is, why I wrote yesterday to the HR department of SUN, to start an initiative to employ them. And I ask the OOo managerials to send feedback on that here on the list, or to decide, if in this critical situation of the death of the bird a fork-partnership is planned and implemented for OOo. We should set with the community a timeline, in which the managerials of OOo declare, if or what they have done to find a solution, and with which result. Things look not brighter, the more nights you sleep. So I hope, the decision is soon done (and not "far-fetched") and told to the community: If or if not OOo get´s an open source Email-Cient (which could be based on TB code or on core-dev-ls knowledge). Don´t get me wrong, OOo can decide it anytime to add email or serverless IM functionalities to OpenOffice, but for the case of Thunderbird, the time is nowerdays. Kind regards Michael. PS: Sun uses a lot of money to be neck to neck with Microsoft. Use this money for TB. It is really not a question to make a fork or a friendly-overtake of TB. It fits the strategy. Outlook is Office ! so don´t get in identity turbulence with the birds flying around your head, sun! So let´s wait for the feedback of the headquarter. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
