What about OpenOffice.org 2.x and beyond ( 16:15 – 17:00 )

I am not aware of any active development on this project, there
might be a project like so. But that doesnt mean it will be in
production anytime soon afaik. Sunbird is a 2.5 years and
Thunderbird 3.5 years is much more mature and stable projects.
It ís about extending and integrating Thunderbird and Lightning.
Sun developers are simply involved.
Fwiw,

During his OpenOffice.org roadmap presentation at the OpenOffice.org
Conference in Lyon in September, Michael Bemmer mentioned the
development of a Personal Information Manager (PIM).
Can you tell us exactly what is under development?
We are currently contributing to the development of the Mozilla
Lightning project. Mozilla Lightning is an extension for the Mozilla
Thunderbird email client, and covers feature areas like calendaring
and task handling including backend support. Thunderbird provides the
email and address book functionality.
Support for various calendar servers and protocols will be added over
time. Synchronization with PDAs is planned for the future, as well.
What led to the decision to develop a PIM?
Sun's StarOffice used to have a PIM including a simple calendar
server, called StarOffice Schedule, up until version 5.2. When
OpenOffice.org was founded, this functionality got dropped, due to
technical and resource reasons. In addition, many configurations of
Microsoft Office include Outlook. Finally, OpenOffice.org and
StarOffice users, as well as product reviewers, frequently ask for a
PIM.
Why was Mozilla Lightning chosen as the basis for a PIM?
Since OpenOffice.org is open source and runs on multiple platforms,
including Windows, Mozilla Lightning was the obvious choice. Mozilla
Firefox and Mozilla Thunderbird are already well accepted among
users, and recent surveys indicate that even on Linux Mozilla
Thunderbird is the preferred email client nowadays. Thus, Mozilla
Lightning was the best option both from a technical and a momentum
point of view.
