Re: [Evolution-hackers] usage of C in evolution

[Aaron Weber <aweber novell com>]

Pardon the markety intrusion... Extensibility is very much in the cards, and I think importers are a good place to start, because there's always another file format, etc. to import, so it makes sense to have that extensible. 

I'd start, however, with Evolution 1.5.x and evolution-data-server, where the APIs are much more accessible and it just makes more sense to extend in any given language... for reference see the panel code that integrates with the Evolution calendar, and the OpenOffice.org mail-merge from Evolution addressbook... 

Python *looks* like a toy language, definitely, but all the hackers I've known who have reluctantly used it have grown to like it after a week or so (cf Red Carpet).  Still, you might want to consider looking into C#, since there's quite a bit of evolution-C# work going on and that's quite exciting these days.
