Hi.

My name is Andrey Kaminsky. I am a student of Belarusian State University  
of Informatics and Radioelectronics. I am trying to participate Google  
Summer of Code.

According to https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Evince/SupportedDocumentFormats  
wiki page, support of some formats does not planned by Evince. In  
particular such format as .CHM (Microsoft Compiled HTML Help) not  
supported (and seems will not be). Formats like .FB2 (FictionBook) and  
.EPUB (Electronic Publication) was not discussed, but also not supported  
by now.

Are there any plans for adding support for new document formats (in  
particular during current Summer of Code)?

Evince is a page-based viewer. Therefore, the challenge to add the
backends proposed is how to present it to Evince to display them.
To get some ideas, check the comments in the bug report:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=539347

The same seems to apply to the other formats.
