I think it is quite out of date: - you dont want to/need to implement your own 'component', anymore, if you can avoid it. you only want to do that if you provide a service which doesn't map cleanly to mail, addressbook, contacts, or tasks. - calendar/addressbook now uses shared library based extensibility - although i think you can still use the corba-based interface mechanism as well. - it has no knowledge of 'e-plugin' which is now the way the ui should be extended. (and to be honest, danw was a lisp coder who tried to write c, and it just dont work). _______________________________________________ evolution-hackers maillist - [email protected] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers
