Release 0.1 is about putting the project's rough outlines in front of the public and providing a look at what's to come. A warning message even appears when the program is launched, pointing out that the software isn't ready to be used by anybody for much of anything, except the pleasure of getting a look at what's coming up. Disclaimers aside, though, there's plenty to admire in the design, even if it isn't being executed quite yet. Our primary experience with the sort of software Evolution aims to become is Novell's Groupwise. If Evolution's feature list remains the same, and if the interface is kept at its current level of simplicity, Novell can count their software surpassed.
Evolution promises to be a pleasure to use.
We are not. It would be nice to have the choice.
