Here's my take on this.
Porting the SOGo Connector/Integrator is generally not long.
What's long is porting all the improvements we've done to Lightning.
When we did the changes back in Lightning 0.9, we submitted all of them
to Mozilla for inclusion. Not all of them were included (lack of time
from their side). Our patches then bitrotted.
When we ported them again to Thunderbird 3.1, we resubmitted patches but
again, not all of them were included and they bitrotted again.
We're now pretty much down to three patches to be included so we don't
have to modify Lightning again. Those are:
1. refresh killer: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=502936
2. offline mode support:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380060
3. hooks / stubs mechanisms:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586276
The last one will allow us to move our ACL code directly in the SOGo
Connector/Integrator extensions. So we won't have to modify Lightning
anymore.
That being said, those 3 bugs should be fixed for Lightning 1.0. You
should all vote on the bugs so the patches finally get included.
Lightning 1.0 will most likely require Thunderbird 7. If that's the
case, that's the version we'll support after 3.1.
