Re: [Evolution] Evolution on 64 bits Linux system

Hi :)
Thanks for a much better level of response.  It's more like i would expect from this list.  


But it does sound as though the Evo community has put uptake of Evo quite a looong way down their list of 
priorities.  Are the priorities something like this?

1.  Get all the world to reverse course and start bottom-posting instead so they can communicate with Evo's 
help systems rather than each other (at least until enough people are familiar with it that they know to 
scroll down to the bottom of emails rather than just read whatever first appears when they open an email)  

2.  Get  mobile device OEMS to also change the way their systems work to make it possible to bottom-post

3.  Get Linux to be dominant on the desktop, and by desktop i don't include mobile devices


errr, probably some whole other bunch of things too such as spending longer editing emails rather than just 
type a quick response and click send

6 (ish?)  Start thinking about using Evo


It seems to me the community is fighting on too many fronts that have already been lost.  Products that have 
broken through, put getting their product into people's hands at a much higher priority.  As a result they 
have been able to exert more influence and changed people's work-flow.  

Regards from 
Tom :)
