I've a terrible feeling this will be the end of me, but I'm sure the journey will be fun! Thanks to Srini for asking me to join the team, it's a great pleasure to be invited to maintain such a high-profile component as Evolution. I've not really touched the code of Evolution itself, focusing more on Evolution Data Server, but that is good because Srini has been focusing more on Evolution so together we should make a good team.

My primary goal is to merge and polish the DBus port of EDS. The current plan is to attempt to land the port in time for GNOME 2.20, although disabled by default. Hopefully enough developers will be foolish brave enough to enable it and report any bugs they find, so that we might even be able to enable it by default in GNOME 2.20. This is a tight plan but it might just be achievable.
