233390 - Sunbird needs a home page

Since there've been a few new Sunbird builds recently, and it seems to be moving
towards 0.2, there should be some sort of Sunbird documentation on mozilla.org.
/projects/calendar does make reference to Sunbird, but does not provide download
links for the latest builds, etc.

Hopefully, a Sunbird home page will promote interest (and development) in
Sunbird. The usual "technology preview" disclaimer would excuse the lack of
bells/whistles/polish.

suggest wontfix.
bad press is worse than no press. If Calendar 0.8 is not ready for having its
own product page, neither should Sunbird 0.1. We need to be careful what product
we push to the public.

I'm planning to do a sunbird page, but before we announce it more or less
officially, we have to do some research first. The sunbird name is by no means
official and we don't want to get into any trademark issues. I will use this bug
as a progress tracker for these issues.

I suppose that's fair enough, however in my experience, Sunbird is both usable
and acceptably stable. We could set up a product/project page, just not link to
it from /products/ - only those looking for it need find it.

I checked in the following pages:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird.html
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird_download.html
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird_build.html

These pages may move to a /projects/sunbird/ folder over time, but for now I
consider the bug FIXED.
