        Hi,
such questions are more appropriate to evolution-hackers list, as
evolution-list is mainly meant for users, not developers.

Evolution-data-server code consist of the server and the client part,
the server code for addressbook is at addressbook/libedata-book, the
client code is at addressbook/libebook. The server part runs as a DBus
service, e-addressbook-factory (the 3.3.x+ has
evolution-addressbook-factory), thus the DBus is here to ask the server
to process the request. Similar with Calendar.

I'm not aware of anything else apart of the 'tests' directory in eds
sources.
        Bye,
