Thanks.  For Lightning interop details, I've got this:

* No?: Create/delete collection.
* Yes: Create/modify/delete event/task in CalDAV collection
* Yes: Recurrence/modification support
* Yes?: Interop/usage docs provided by Chandler (Hub URL clear?)

In other words, Lightning/Sunbird don't do anything with collection 
create/delete yet, but full CRUD operations work against Cosmo for 
events, tasks, and recurrences.  True?

Is Mozilla doing Intel Mac builds consistently these days?

Yup.  Crashes during sync (bug #9813); big blocker.  I think Evo might 
support collection creation, I can't recall, and some current subset of 
CRUD for events/tasks (if it could sync).

Noted.

Agreed.  For this interop effort, note that I'd like to record "the 
known current state" for each app listed.  So having iCal 3.x on our 
list with a big "currently entirely broken" is helpful to this effort 
and to users.  We wouldn't be advertising interop by listing it here.

Same idea, we can note on this document anything we currently know about 
Firefox 3 interop.  If we have something substantial to say, let's note 
it.  In terms of putting FF3 "above the line" so we force ourselves to 
go find out the current status by the end of the interop-doc work, I'd 
still hold off.  If you provided me info about current FF3, I'd be 
forced to add it to this doc though :)

Ok; these were on the "below the line" list, but since we do specific 
interop testing and know their status, I'll move them to the short list.

Great, added!

Thanks for the comments!
