I have just downloaded the Lightning Calendar Add-on to my Macbook and I am wanting to share the same calendar with a coworker. We have a personal email address that is from our company. He is on a windows computer and I need to know how to link the two together. We are also on the same wifi if that makes a difference. I need to be able to add events to a calendar that he can see, and vice versa. Thank you

You'll need to setup a network calendar you both have access to, e.g. a Google Calendar.

Go to the google website, set up an account if you don't already have one. A new account you can both share would be a good idea. You'll probably have to set up a new email account, but you don't have to use it.

In Thunderbird, you can use something like Provider for Google Calendar, or you can use the CalDav protocol. In either case, I think you'll need to know an address for your calendar

Set up Google Calendar, make a note of its address, and then add this to Lightning. File|New|Calendar
