The T-Bird web site is now open for interested Thunderbird volunteers to become authors. If you have an event announcement you want to share, or just an idea you'd like other people to read, sign up to become an author!

Welcome to the all new t-birddistrict.org, home of the Thunderbird District on the Web! As you probably noticed, the appearance of the site has changed dramatically. All the content of the old site is present on the new one, but now we have moved the site over to a content management system. This software will allow lots of people to post links, articles, etc., which means that the site will get updated much more often than it used to.
