Re: [Evolution] evo 2

You might have had their sympathy up to the point where you used "right
to expect".

Being free software - and even "more" free with the recent open release
of connector - your "rights" are pretty limited.  Putting "Novell" on
their name doesn't change that.

That being said, the developers on this list have a history for offering
a generous amount of their time and help to users who kindly ask for
it.  Evolution is a great product, particularly for the price.  I've had
my own problems with it, but I'm sure they'll get fixed.  I'm sure
before long, any RedCarpet issues that may exist for supported (or
to-be-supported) distros will be worked out.
