Calendar:User Documentation

End-user documentation

We often get feedback from people that want to contribute to the Calendar apps, but lack the technical skills needed for programming.

This page is for you. We need your help!

We are currently lacking any kind of end-user documentation. We need tutorials, geared towards typical end-users like your neighbor or your grandma, explaining to them the basic tasks in a calendar app.

• Installing Sunbird
• Configuring Sunbird
• Installing Lightning into Thunderbird
• Configuring Lightning
• Switching between mail and calendar mode in Lightning
• Creating a new event or a new task
• Creating a recurring event
• Changing the time or date of an event
• Switching between the different calendar views
• Inviting other people
• Adding a holiday calendar
• Exporting a calendar and sharing it with other people over the net
• Creating new calendars
• Printing a collection of events
• Using Lightning with Google Calendars to share your calendar with friends, coworkers, or among several computers.
• Changing your calendar preferences

It would be great if you could help us out here, either by writing a tutorial, contributing screenshots or thinking of other things that could be documented.

We really look forward to what our community can accomplish.
