  If you mean evolution:
 I posted a lot of bugreports about all problems I was able to find in
Evolution 0.11 during not that long test run and a very critical one for
bonobo ( http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=7156 ).

  If you mean other gnome software (shipped with ximian gnome): 
 I could, but it would take *a lot* of time since there are so many problems
and solutions to describe if done properly (of course I can supply fixes also
as I encounter problems), and sure I would be directed to try again the latest
versions of entire gnome and even developer snapshots.. But that's too much
hassle to be done in free time, especially for software I haven't even used. I
can be hired for this task, and would love to preform it.

 Best regards,
