Well, if you put that many specific requirements into pot, then of course you're going to be right. If you drop just GNOME from "Gnome email+calendar+addressbook+task management", then there are options. If you take out all the +s, then you can find individual GNOME apps that collectively provide all those capabilities, albeit not in a tightly integrated fashion. So, here's a suggestion: Take the best individual GNOME apps and glue them together, ala` Kontact. It would be quick (relatively speaking) to do and would give people who will only consider GNOME apps choice (and therefore, freedom) again; something they have not had in a while, as you so aptly pointed out. I would suggest that this could/should be done regardless of what happens to Evo. > And why is evolution unmaintained?

I see some indications that there is still an active (though the pulse is weak?) upstream. What happened to those Evolution authors/developers/maintainers? -- Lamont R.
