Task List

Evolution development this cycle was stymied by Red Hat Enterprise Linux duties.

Unfortunately most of these tasks had to be deferred to 3.12 or later.

Task	Owner	Status	Notes	Expected Milestone
Migrate to WebKit/GTK+ - Phase 2	TomasPopela and MatthewBarnes	In Progress	Port the mail composer to WebKit and retire GtkHtml. Bug report	3.11.x
Drop Express Mode	MatthewBarnes	Done	MeeGo is long dead; so is this feature. Garbage collect it.	3.9.1
Gravatar Integration	MatthewBarnes	Done	Query gravatar.com (in addition to address books) for email sender images.	3.9.1
Drop EBook and ECal APIs	MatthewBarnes	Deferred	These APIs have been deprecated for a couple years now. Make a final pass over anything out there still using it. Submit patches.	3.13.x
Modernize EBook/CalBackend APIs	MatthewBarnes	In Progress	Adhere to familiar GObject / GIO async conventions. Allow backend methods to be called directly from within its own process.	3.11.x
Run Backends in Child Processes	MatthewBarnes	Deferred	Would make Evolution-Data-Server more crash resistant. Would prevent backends from blocking other backends or the whole service. Easier to identify/debug runaway backends consuming too much CPU/memory.	3.13.x
CalDAV/CardDAV Service Discovery	MatthewBarnes	Deferred	Find CalDAV/CardDAV resources on a host, auto-configure ESources to proxy them. Locating CalDAV and CardDAV services (Draft RFC) SabreDAV - Discovery of CalDAV and CardDAV services (Needed for Google accounts, OwnCloud accounts, Yahoo! accounts, Zimbra accounts, etc.)	3.11.x
New Importer Framework	MatthewBarnes	Stalled	Make it asynchronous, GIO-based. Convert EPlugins to EExtensions. (Got this half-way done some time ago, then had to shelve it. Getting bitrotted, needs a reboot.)	3.13.x (low priority)
