Tabmail and lightning support

(Cross-posting to Seamonkey and Calaendar dev groups)
Now that tabmail has landed in SM2 (thanks Robert and the whole team 
!!), it there a way to have Lightning work in seamonkey ?
I see a few problem right now:
- no update to the lightning nightlies
- no way to add an event in lightning from a message
- no access to the lightning configuration and parameters...
...and probably a few other..

I know I am impatient, but a few words about what is going on, what is 
blocking would be very much appreciated !
Thanks.

Sure, just install a Lightning nightly build. It should work with a
few minor glitches.

From a Calendar Project perspective we are happy that SeaMonkey is
working towards being compatible with our extension. However due to
developer resource situation we are not able to actively dedicate
resources to make Lightning more compatible with SeaMonkey. We have
all our hands full with Lightning on Thunderbird already.

Therefore efforts to fix the remaining issues with Lightning on
SeaMonkey must come from the SeaMonkey community. You can file bugs
in the "SeaMonkey Integration" component of the "Calendar" product
in bugzilla for this.

Will do !

Thanks Simon...
Any Seamonkey developer here to evaluate how complex this work could be 
? (being a tester and not a developer, I unfortunately have no clear 
idea...).

My *guess* is that the remaining glitches are mostly the result of
minor differences in the mailnews UI of Thunderbird and SeaMonkey, e.g
missing/different XUL element IDs. There may also be instances in the
calendar code where we simply do a

if product=Thunderbird
  do X
else product=Sunbird
  do Y

such binary logic would have to be adjusted to recognize that
SeaMonkey now also exists in the Lightning world.

But these are just *guesses* as I said.

Lightning 1.0pre could not be installed because it is not compatible

Thanks, I'll give it a try. I had been using nightlies until KaiRo
requested we give 2.0b1 a go. 2.0b1 has been so stable that I forgot to
go back to nightlies :-)
