Hi Everyone,
As part of Google's Summer of Code (SoC) I am going to be working on
developing a library of JS functions for Thunderbird to ease basic
functions (iterating emails, opening folders, etc. etc.). As a proof of
concept I will also be developing an Extension for Thunderbird which
will hopefully showcase these functions while also be as useful as
possible as an extensions.
Since I am still in the heat of my exams period (which only finish at
the end of next week) I am dedicating this period to fact finding. If I
could get your opinions on some of the following issues that would help
me devise my exact game plan for the SoC as a start and hopefully the
future of this project. My initial proposal is on the SoC site.
What I need to know is:
1. What are the most annoying things about developing Extensions for
Thunderbird? What are your suggestions for improvement?
2. Which functions would be the most useful as part of a standardized js
API library?
3. Is there any functionality that can not currently be tapped into (or
it is extremely difficult to do so)? (even things that may require
changes to the core)
4. My current thought for an extension is an advanced to-do/reminders
list that would integrate into Thunderbird as a separate folder. I am
still open to ideas though - is there any mailing feature that exists in
other software that is lacking in Thunderbird or a new feature that
you've always wanted?
Thanks for your input - the more I get the more successful this project
will become!
Oren Nachman
