Hey,<br>
<br>
Thanks for the feedback. I took some time to play a bit with both solutions<br>
<br>
* gnome-calendar<br>
- UI is simple, focus on the essential<br>
- it integrates well with the desktop, can be selected as preferred<br>
calendar, opens from the indicator when clicking on a data, is listed in<br>
the unity dash (once the OnlyShowIn=GNOME is removed from the .desktop,<br>
which is a small bug to fix)<br>
- it does proper e-d-s integration/syncing from online calendar<br>
- the look is more in line with our other apps<br>
<br>
unsure about features it might miss, but it can sync calendar and add<br>
events which seems to be what most users need/want?<br>
<br>
* tb-ext<br>
- seems relatively complete feature wise<br>
- supported by mozilla (though there are online discussions suggesting<br>
they might try to give thunderbird away)<br>
- integrated with our default mailer<br>
but<br>
- it doesn't integrate with the system (it's part of the mailer but not<br>
listed as a calendar)<br>
- doesn't do e-d-s integration (there is an extension for that but it<br>
hangs tb on start when activated)<br>
- the UI feels more cluttered<br>
- integrates to a mailer, every time you start tb it nags you about<br>
adding an email account ... it's not a proper solution if you are not<br>
using it as your mailer<br>
<br>
<br>
I feel like gnome-calendar is a better solution, especially if we<br>
consider that a good part of users use webemails and don't need an<br>
integrated solution to a desktop mailer they don't use but rather a<br>
simple calendar UI.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
