Petition to Get Ximian Connector Ported to Mac OS X

Posted by pudge on from the stick-it-to-the-man dept.

babbage writes "There has been some talk recently on various mailing lists about getting a Mac OS X version of Ximian Connector extension to Evolution, which allows Evolution to interact with Microsoft Exchange 2000 servers much as Microsoft Outlook can. It is already possible to build and run Gnome and Evolution on Mac OS X, thanks largely to projects such as Fink. Ximian is aware of this interest, and has indicated that if enough users expressed a serious interest in buying the product -- the target number was 500 paying users -- they would be willing to produce a Mac OS X port of Connector. To that end, I've set up an petition to help gauge user interest."

    Who cares about a Ximian connector. How about porting some games? Mac OS X will not succeed unless it has some quality games that are available on Windows XP.

    Ximian Connector is NOT ported to OSX. The story was "sign my petition to port Ximian connected to OSX".

    In other news, Apple has switched to using Linux as the OSX kernel. Well, at least I set up a petition to get apple to do so.
