Re: [Evolution-hackers] Rename e-d-s

[Harish Krishnaswamy <kharish novell com>]

hi,

I agree that evolution-data-server should be named better 
to convey that it is a framework for the entire Desktop, 
not just Evolution.  

Not now, though.  Let us focus our energies on making it 
more useful and usable.  Let us  document the  APIs, 
write tutorials  and make its adoption easier on the 
Desktop.

Do continue thinking about  cuter and more appropriate 
names :). We need them one day.  A good dressing is a 
must but let us get the cake ready first.
