<p>Dear Jörg,</p>
<p>it is a good snippet, but how to summarize the advantage of
going away from binary? As an Add-On Dev I can understand the
advantage of not being dependant on having a compatible
application and that it makes it easier for other Add-On authors
to write extensions for the calendar when the code is open and
debuggable...<br>

<p><tt>Yes, you're 100% right, but for a blog entry you can phrase
it more positively.</tt></p>
<p><tt>Fact is, that the IcalJS code previously included was sadly
not usable due to some debilitating bugs, now it's ready for
prime time usage. As MakeMyDay said in the last meeting, he
wants to include it in 45.1 so more adventurous people can
flick the switch and start using it. I think this is a reason
to mention it.</tt></p>
<p><tt>Text that I proposed will shed a positive light on TB and
will make us look pro-active and future-proof ;-)</tt></p>
<p><tt>Quoting: <i>Thunderbird is adapting to Mozilla's roadmap
of phasing out binary add-ons to make Thunderbird
future-proof. A big milestone along this path is the
transition from Lightning being a binary add-on to a
JS-based one. For the first time Lightning is shipped as
binary and <font color="#ff0000">stable</font> JS-based
add-on and we encourage users to try out <font
color="#ff0000">[(flip the pref)]</font> the new
technology, since the binary version will no longer ship
with Thunderbird 52. </i><br>
