<title> What is Evolution, and What Can It Do for Me?</title>
<para>
The idea of evolution as a process of improvement and
development is a strong influence on the developers at Helix
Code. We named our <glossterm>groupware</glossterm> suite
"Evolution" because we knew that it would be able to survive
in the wilderness of the software marketplace for one reason:
it's better.
The word "evolution" means "a process of improvement and
development." The GNOME application
<application>Evolution</application> is meant to be a more
evolved <glossterm>groupware</glossterm> program, and an
integral part of the Internet-connected desktop.

applications within the GNOME desktop environment that you can
use to send, receive, and organize email, manage address and
other contact information, and maintain a calendar. It
enables you to do those things on one or several computers,
connected directly or over a network, for one person or for
large groups. <application>Evolution</application> can handle
almost all your communications tasks with the power and
flexibility of the GNOME desktop environment.

intuitive, but also allowed users to customize it to
their liking. We made the setup and configuration as
easy as possible. For any confusion, we wrote a
comprehensive manual and help system.

the development of shortcuts for complex tasks.
</para>
</listitem>

For <emphasis>administrators</emphasis>, we made sure
<application>Evolution</application> met and and
exceeded the standards set by currently available
groupware products, and we developed support for most
major network protocols so that it can integrate
seamlessly with existing hardware and network
environments. All of our efforts have made

and easy to support.
