Evolution 0.99, Release Candidate Out

savaget writes "Evolution 0.99 (Release Candidate 1) is out! "Yes, you read that right: the release candidate for Evolution 1.0 hit the wires this evening. After two years of hard work and more than 700 thousand lines of code written, the sleepless hackers at Ximian are finally getting to the long-awaited 1.0 release of Evolution, the GNOME groupware suite."" One of the most important projects in the open source world today. Best of luck to the monkey boys @ Ximian squashing any last minute arrivals.

I assume Taco means bugs. Hasn't he ever been to a zoo? monkeys don't squash bugs... they pick them off each other and eat them. I bet that'd be a weird room to be in...

No more Outlook jealousy!

Girls can code? If this is true, we need a full /. article reporting it. I'm not aware of any female coders.

At one point, I considered having my business cards say 'Chief Monkey Groomer' for just that reason :)

Slashdot users never fail to disappoint me with their pathetic use of English.

You, for example, can't even tell the difference between 'there' and 'their'.

The following sentence is also quite a gem.

"There idea would a datastore is IMAP, which makes no sense to me."

You said it!
