I second fixing existing bugs before adding features. I have to restart
Evolution and/or goa-daemon several times a day because account
connections "go stale" (for lack of a more technical description). And
I have pretty frequent problems adding events to a calendar from an
email invite. Also, this isn't an Evolution problem but it impacts
Evolution functionality - Seahorse seems incapable of fully managing
PGP keys (I get lots of general errors when trying to do simple things
like trust or sign a key, or import new keys from servers).
I really appreciate all the hard work that developers do to build and
maintain free software, and don't want to sound like I'm ungrateful. I
just think it'll be better for existing users and for recruiting new
users if developers of the Gnome ecosystem spend more time ensuring a
bug-free experience before pushing forward with new features and
projects (do we really need a Recipes app when the keyring manager
isn't fully functional yet?).
Sorry for veering off topic.
