Finally, useful calendar functionality for Thunderbird!

I just upgraded my Lightning add-on for Thunderbird from 0.5 to 0.8 and wow! Some of the great new features:

• You can invite attendees to meetings!
• You can use a common location to store your calendars. I've got mine on my FTP server so it's accessible to anyone with access.
• The layout has been dramatically improved.
• You can assign tasks, and convert them to meetings or email messages.
• You can publish your calendar.

Now, I no longer need to hang my head in shame in front of my Outlook-using co-workers when they tell me to set up a meeting.
