Johnny and me were discussing some Evolution plugin idea and I said, it would be nice, if we can do it in Python. It is easier to write, as well as to install than a rpm/binary. He told me that he will do it over night, and I said NOT POSSIBLE and I promised to [...]
I sent an announcement mail for Evolution 2.22. A sneak-peak of what we have done in 2.22

Last two days I have been working on deskice integration with Evolution Calendar and Tasks. It was all that fun at the end of day #1 to know that it is better to have a icecore server deployed locally otherwise I may end up hacking/fixing deployment bugs.

Lots of people have been complaining about annoying popups with Evolution saying “Ping failed”, “Name lookup failed” etc.. I started writing a design/interface in the wiki few months back and had a test code which I showed it to a few people at Guadec 07. Since then, I was busy with too many other things [...]

Andre posted a mail on the hackers list about the state of Evolution docs. The doc team here at Novell uses FrameMaker to manage documentation. So the master copy that we use is frame files which can only be exported to XML and no way to import/sync from xml. So any commits that happen for [...]
