Hello everyone,
I am a bit concerned about the future of Thunderbird.
The road map of Mozilla development will drop support for XUL/XPCOM based extensions,
which will also affect the sogo-connector and sogo-integrator addons.
All this seems to cause a lot of turmoil in the developer community. I read of plans to do
a complete rewrite of Thunderbird as "Thunderbird++"...
I wonder what are the plans of the sogo team for this are
* what is the road map of SOGo? Were will you go?
* will you continue to support Thunderbird?
* are there alternatives to Thunderbird in the Windows universe (except Outlook) that
escaped my search?
* will it be possible to port the sogo-connector and sogo-integrator addons to the
upcoming webextensions API or is this too restrictive?
Since my infrastructure relies heavily on the use of SOGo in combination with Thunderbird
and selfmade addons for Thunderbird I wonder if this is still feasible in future or are
we/I riding a dead cow?
Especially my selfmade addon concerns me. It relies on a XPCOM component that provides the
interface to a local SQL database.
So far I have no idea how I would port that to webextensions API...
I would appreciate your opinions, comments and advice on this topic.
Best regards
Florian
