I've started exploring how evolution stores it's data. As far as i found out everything is stored in Berkeley v3 DB-Files. So that looks to me as if it should be generally possible to create a client that visualizes that data. But since it wouldn't be a good idea to work directly on the db-files i need some point to start exploring evolution's interfaces so i can use them instead of working on the db-files directly.
Any help on how to start is highly appreciated by me. Thanks.
