Evolution 0.99, Release Candidate Out

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the report-those-bugs-people dept.

savaget writes "Evolution 0.99 (Release Candidate 1) is out! "Yes, you read that right: the release candidate for Evolution 1.0 hit the wires this evening. After two years of hard work and more than 700 thousand lines of code written, the sleepless hackers at Ximian are finally getting to the long-awaited 1.0 release of Evolution, the GNOME groupware suite."" One of the most important projects in the open source world today. Best of luck to the monkey boys @ Ximian squashing any last minute arrivals.

    Any plans to port to Mac OS X?
    Would instantly have 10 times the potential market...

    Cmon guys....

    Why would an email program be the most important project in the open source community??

    There are a LOT of users that are completely happy with the features of mutt/pine, and there are a LOT of projects that are a LOT more important than client side email application and groupware services...

    Linux is and has always been a server OS and I find it rather amusing that a simple pretty GUI email application is being crowned as "One of the most important projects in the open source world today"

    Yet another piece of horrible slashdot reporting, do you people do any kind of research on your news posts? Or if I submit a link (to a fake page) saying that IBM is going bankrupt will you post it? I think yes as long as the fake page looks convincing...

    You wanted the entire text that comprises the quote:

    "Anybody who knows US history in Latin America should have seen 9/11 coming. The attack was evil, but it was not cowardly nor senseless nor unprecedented nor unforseen."

    It was impossible for me to take such a short bit out of context. You obviously have no understanding of what "taking something out of context" means. Furthermore, I didn't apply any context of my own to the quote, aside from generally saying that that Ximian employee is an idiot.

    The fact is that Ximian employees an imbucile who believes that murdering 5,000 people is neither "cowardly" or "senseless".

    So much the better for them, if they don't want my business, I can go elsewhere.
