Mozilla Calendar kind of lacks the wombat, the Evo plugin will likely
want to talk to it.

How about not mixing advocacy and feature requests and showing some
general nicety? It really is a pity that Ximian Evolution does not work
(well) for you, but it apparently does for a lot of people (including
me). You really could have asked for Mozilla Calendar support without
having to badmouth another program (you're free to use whatever works
for you, must you question other peoples' choices in the process?) and I
can imagine most (potential) developers would be much more favourably
inclined towards your request if they did not have to fear to be on the
receiving end of your derisive comments if their work fails to match up
to your standards.

Just some food for thought...

Best regards,
Eike
