Follow-up

Small = any application that doesn't take seconds to start up.

F-spot isn't part of GNOME. Hence my point that Evolution shouldn't be either.

> For a distro ...

That's a silly remark. I am just a user and you know it.

I don't think that any other GNOME module is so dominated by one of the involved companies/organizations you cite.

You don't get the point of webmail if you use it with Evolution.

I didn't say that GNOME software shouldn't be integrated. Innovation is stiffled because Evolution is endorsed as the official e-mail client. Do you really think anyone else has the courage to develop another calendar or contacts application for inclusion in GNOME? The answer is no because they have 0.0% change of being accepted due to the Novell dominance.

Why would Gaim and Evolution merge? So they could crash all together or so you would have to wait for 1 minute until it is launched? That would be plain stupid. Monolithical applications have a tendency to become bloathed and slow. That's something you even realize. There's a reason why UNIX works so well.

Better would be if Evolution became part of some sort of GNOME office thing toghether with Abiword and Gnumeric. But part of the GNOME desktop? No way.
