Hi Charlie,
          You have my suport for this sort of revamp. We need this.
It will also help the various comunities talk to each other and hopefully
pull in more people like yourself, who are willing to do this sort of
work.

In the past we've had political problems about defining Gnome Office. Some
of these have past but some haven't. Evolution should definately be in
Gnome Office but didn't want to participate inthe 1.0 release for some
strange reason.

In any case you're pushing on an open door as far as I'm concerned. Do the
work, ask for help, get it done!

Cheers

Martin
