Thunderbird 2022 financial report

The Thunderbird email-client project has put out a report describing its financial situation in 2022.

The breakout growth we enjoyed last year means hiring even more talented people to vastly improve the Thunderbird desktop experience. This past year we expended significant effort to dramatically improve Thunderbird’s UX and bring it in-line with modern expectations and standards. In 2022 we also laid the groundwork for large architectural changes for Thunderbird on the desktop. These changes address many years of technical debt that has limited our ability to add new features at a brisk pace. This work will largely pay off in our 2024 release, however it does power some of the improvements in the 115 “Supernova” release this summer.

It's good to know that in these often-gloomy times in the industry at least Thunderbird project is financially stable for now.

Even more so because previous announcements in 2012 and 2015 sounded more like it was getting put on life support.

This is excellent news.

Thunderbird is the only client on the desktop that I've found to successfully integrate invite acknowledgements sent as IMIP attachments to my Nextcloud invites to events. I hope — with good reason to believe it'll happen — that they bring that attention to detail to K-9 too.

Man, and to think that it was just a few decades ago when I was convinced Evolution would take over the groupware market.
Remember "the groupware market"? 😂 It got commoditized faster than you can say Lotus 1-2-3!
