Lightning is looking pretty good. We did some interop testing during  
the 0.8 release and fixed some blockers. At this point if we want to  
point people at non-Chandler desktop calendar client I think it  
should be Lightning.

>    * Evolution (Ubu)

I think we still have a few outstanding Evo bugs that we can't fix on  
our end.

>    * iCal 2.x (Mac)
>    * iCal 3.x (Mac)

There is a massive blocker in iCal 3 in the latest Developer seed  
that we were able to test.

It blocks addition of your cosmo CalDAV account to iCal which means  
that we can't do anything CalDAV related with iCal 3. It doesn't give  
us enough feedback to try and figure out what it is on our end that  
is exposing the bug so there isn't much we can do. bcm contacted  
Cyrus 2 weeks ago about it but he hasn't gotten back to us yet, he's  
understandably busy.

I wouldn't advertise any kind of iCal interop until we get this  
worked out.

> ---+++ Web browsers
>    * Firefox 2 (Win,Mac,Ubu), MSIE 6+7 (Win), Safari 2+3 (Mac)

Maybe it's a little premature, but I'd like to see us do some work  
with Firefox 3, specifically the work that dmose is doing to allow  
you to offload responsibility for certain protocols and formats to a  
web service rather than just a local desktop client.
