Hello Friends of Thunderbird ,<br>
<br>
<i><br>
</i><i>Dr. James Quilty, Senior Lecturer</i><i><br>
</i><i>at the</i><i><br>
</i><i>School of Engineering and Computer Science,</i><i><br>
</i><i>Victoria University of Wellington</i><br>
<br>
has chosen for their 3rd-year Engineering Group Project our offered
proposal to work on the Thunderbird AddressBook.<br>
<br>
James have made some project pages for the class, which can be seen
here:<br>
<a href="hProject%2011%20-%20Thunderbird%20Ensemble%20Project">Project
11 - Thunderbird Ensemble Project</a><br>
<br>
As you see with the project name, the project will have a strong
relation to Mike Conley's previous project he run in 2013.
Unfortunately it was not finished, but it's great to have Mike on
board again for the University project. Please have a look on <a
href="https://github.com/mikeconley/thunderbird-ensemble/wiki">his
GIT Wiki</a> which has a revised approach now and will be an
important basis for the group of students at the School of
Engineering and Computer Science, Victoria University of Wellington.<br>
<br>
As there have been more people asking TB/AddressBook to become a
student's project I'm very optimistic the group of students will get
help and support from the Thunderbird community as well. <br>
<br>
James explained: <i>the project structure "needs a client, someone
who 'wants something done'".</i> Mike Conely agreed to take that
role, but because of his very limited time I agreed to assist. I see
my role more as a moderator and to help the students to get the
right contacts and technical support if required. <br>
<br>
This project can be a great solution to get a modern AddressBook for
our Thunderbird. So, please be open to help and assist the young
people committed to the project:<br>
