body of the message. If you are planning to work on any part of
Evolution, please send mail to the mailing list first, to avoid
duplicated effort (and to make sure that you aren't basing your work
on interfaces that are expected to change).
Some hints on compiling Evolution can be found in the mailing list
archive:
There is a mailing list archive available at

There is also an #evolution IRC channel on irc.gnome.org.
Evolution depends on the following non-core gnome libraries: bonobo,
gdk-pixbuf, gnome-print, gnome-vfs, gtkhtml, libglade, and libunicode.
(These are all in GNOME CVS, in the modules by those names.) You also
need a recent copy of ORBit. At the present time, the version in Helix
GNOME is the only released version that is new enough. If you don't
have that, you should check out ORBit from GNOME CVS with the option
"-r orbit-stable-0-5" to get the recent stable branch.
