Re: [Evolution] A Question About Add-On Availability



Thank you for your reply Milan and for your patience in answering my 'new guy' questions. I am just beginning to study computer programming. I am beginning with learning Python (on the advice of several individuals who are advanced coders themselves). Also, I am working on learning HTML (especially 5.0), and CSS 3. As I become competent with those languages, I plan on beginning studying PHP and Qt. I hope that as I gain competency with these languages that I can apply that knowledge to help extend and improve Evolution even further. I think that it is a Great Program, but then perhaps I am a little prejudiced!

Thanks again,

I know that OpenOffice has a couple of rather good grammar and punctuation extensions (that is there term of art, as I'm sure you are all aware) and it got me to thinking could those extensions be adapted to be incorporated into Evolution?
Hi, I'm not aware of anything like that for Evolution. Evolution uses enchant for spell checking, though I'm afraid it doesn't have anything for punctuation, but I do not know it, I only think it.
2) I know that people involved intimately with Evolution are working on modifying it programming so that Evolution will be more...compliant doesn't seem the right word, but more standardized with other Open Source programs in the way others may create programs that add to Evolution's versatility.
Interesting. I'm not aware of it too, somehow. Evolution has some API for creating plugins, then it has a similar API for creating modules, which is similar to plugins, but newer and more tight to the internals. If you mean to let extend (with modules) certain parts of Evolution, then yes, it's possible to add (in most cases, though trying to extend message composer in the way you are looking for, which involves also WebKit2, is not that trivial). Nonetheless, the composer is already extensible and modules can be written for it.
