Re: [Evolution-hackers] evolution plugins/extensions

[Not Zed <notzed ximian com>]

Basically what you're after, extending the ui, adding menu items, etc,
no.

You can add whole new components (i.e. 'mail' or 'calendar' are
components), or you can add certain backends, like email backends and
addressbook backends.  But you can't add to menu's of the existing parts
currently.

You could probably write it in any language but you'd need C or C-
compatible glue.
