Re: [Evolution-hackers] Compile Evolution Mail as .so file with API for other GUI on ARM device

["Michal G." <guziemic spam gmail com>]

Then I will use Webkit. It is available and I was doing simple browser with it.
For now, I have Qt port of Webkit and Cairo graphic.

Regarding size, I wonder about footprint of Evolution. I checked on my Ubuntu and 
it is about 12 MB. Hopefully it will required less space after removing of some parts.

I found also some interesting post about EDS.
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-hackers/2011-June/msg00028.html
As I understand there is some work done to make EDS more UI independent.
Do you know if this was done, or work is in progress and in which release it will be?

And as release 3.4 is planned for March 2012. Does it means that 3.6 should be available after 
six months, so around September 2012. Does evolution follows GNOME schedules 
(new stable version every six months)?

Evolution uses gtkhtml for rendering mails. Anjal used webkit. You can
also use MozEmbed.

Big in the sense size? I have no idea tbh.
