All other people claim that this extension isn't needed are wrong.
There is no TASKS support provided in Thunderbird.
Although this extension works, the fact that this extension has FULL access to my complete computer and filesystem has me worried.
Therefor I won't be installing.

I can understand that. It is not wrong, in theory the add-on *could* do anything, so the permission needs to sound scary. This is required because Thunderbird is lacking extension APIs for calendaring. So I need to use the legacy extension system, which can integrate tightly with Thunderbird itself, and has the same permissions as Thunderbird itself.

I'm trying to change this by writing the APIs and hope either I or someone else from Thunderbird will find time to integrate them. Then it will just say something like "full access to your calendar" or something like that.

The source code for this add-on is available at https://github.com/kewisch/gdata-provider/tree/legacy to verify, and if you prefer non-code trust signals note I've been working for/with Thunderbird for almost 20 years. You can find more information about me on Linkedin or other sources.
