It's just not that simple. I briefly explained the problems here http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2011-May/msg00267.html TL;DR : - The technical problems involve managing N times M times P codebases - There might be really nasty Terms Of Service issues - I expect 3.2 to only support Google, Yahoo providers - I expect 3.2 to only support Mail and Calendar services After 3.2 we can add more providers and more kinds of services. I'm still working on this. David _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
