Re: Focus on Infusion

Evolution has always worked for me, albeit to varrying levels of success.

Currently i use 0.10 as my default mail/scheduling client.

It's a very good quality app, and it looks like steady progress is being made on it.

However saying that, the major problem with Evolution is that it is very slow (on my system at least). Compare that with Aethera, which is lightning fast on my system.

I also very much prefer the look of Aethera (i believe it's going to be changing though?).

I firmly believe that Aethera will be a very good application. and i fully intend to switch to it full time as soon as it reaches the level of functionality that Evolution is currently at. But it isn't there yet.

Also, with Evolution we can see what is happening with regards to development, so it feels like we're a part of it even if we've nothing to contribute at that time. There's a development list, as well as a users one. With Aethera we do not know what is happening so we feel more detached. The only time we know what's happened is when a new release is made and we can try it out.

It's a lot harder to be enthusiastic about something when we don't know what is happening. If there's anyway of letting us know about the progress on Aethera i think it would be a good idea. It helps foster the community feelings aspect. :-)

The CVS is public and open to anyone who wants to look at the code, we are trying to be considerate and at least package the code for as many distros as possible when there is what we consider a stable release. In what way is it not publicaly available and how would you suggest we let people know what is happening outside of what we are currently doing.

    It's not on the sourceforge CVS, and i couldn't find anything on thekompany.com site about it. Could you let me know the details?

    Something that i think would raise interest is perhaps a paragraph or two on your site every week.

    Something that states what has been done that week "so and so fixed this annoying bug, this feature was added", that sort of thing.

    It would allow an "at a glance" look at what progress has been made, even for those not interested in pulling it from CVS.

    • Use Kernel Couse KDE ?
      by John on Monday 18/Jun/2001, @11:49
      How about a small update item from theKompany, posted to the mailing list each week so that it could be rolled into the latest Kernel Cousin KDE publication?

      It would add value to Kernel Cousin KDE and us readers wouldn't have to go looking elsewhere for it.

      Don't know about you, but that would work nicely for me.

      John
