There's no competition to see who can get the biggest market share - there is no "prize", it is not the goal of the developers. What they, hopefully, aim for is to produce good quality software that people find useful and would *prefer* to use. If this, or any other software, doesn't meet your needs, or even if the (free) mailing list annoys you, then people are completely free to use something else. It's called freedom. I would sincerely hope that Evolution doesn't head in the direction of chasing numbers of users: sacrificing quality and standards compliance to entice users away from other bits of software. Evolution is *NOT* an Outlook clone, it aims to be much better than that. > > I'm just not sure that the Evo team wants to do either > And which "Evo team" would that be? Your original post was about putting distro specific instructions on some Evolution web page. If you think that something like that is useful, then the best way of going about it is to create the page yourself and invite others to contribute things for other distros. You also need to put in some mechanism for keeping it up to date as distros change. Once it is complete with information for all distros, then you can submit a bugzilla request to include the page in the Evo documentation. But I really don't think that distro specific information has a place in the documentation.
