The Mozilla Lightning Project is a project that has been rumoured to be going on for some time but only recently did Mozilla release the newest version of the project.  The new version includes a number of different solutions to the project, all of which work very well with the actual software package.  Mozilla Lightning is free to download as well like all of the other Mozilla products and this in turn goes a long way towards piquing the interest of many people into exactly what the project is.
 
Quite simply put, Mozilla Lightning is a redesign of the calendar component that can be seen in e-mail clients such as Microsoft Outlook.  The purpose of Lightning is to integrate that same type of calendar functionality into Mozilla Thunderbird, which happens to be the e-mail client that was created by Mozilla some time back.  When completed and installed, Lightning brings this functionality to Thunderbird and allows it to be more competitive with other e-mail clients of its kind.
