Whats cooking in evolution?
There are plenty of interesting works going on currently for evolution 2.28,
- eds-dbus port for address-book (Ross)
- calendar cache rewrite to get rid of the xml based cache (Chen)
- GSoc eds calendar memory optimization patches to be merged (Stanislav)
- Caldav backend replacing Google calendar backend for accessing google calendars (Milan Crha)
- A lot of improvements in evolution-mapi connector for exchange 2007 (hear more from Johnny)
We will be getting all the above for evolution 2.27.5.. So be ready for them!!
We are also planning to branch evolution 2.27.x a bit early once the freezes start (around july 27) to have the following work merged soon and to get more testing for evolution 3.0,
- Kill bonobo from evolution (Matthew Barnes)
- eds-dbus port for calendar (Ross)
Some more under radar for evolution 3.0,
- IMAP IDLE support
- IMAPX
- Asyncronous operations in mailer
- Removing ETable from mailer
There are a lot more people behind doing useful contributions to evolution, though I have mentioned only some names above.. Watch the NEWS file updates to know all of them 
Any plans around using WebKit for HTML rendering, or is gtkhtml sticking around for the foreseeable future?

Srini is working on it for anjal (which evo would share), but not sure whether we would be able to get that in evolution 2.28.

Either way, I think GtkHtml will have to stick around a bit longer than we’d like for its editing capabilities. WebKit’s progress on this front seems to have stalled.

Nothing about Shared IMAP folders? This is a key feature for collaboration which is preventing me and i think a lot of other users from using evo. It was silently dropped a few years ago and never returned. Don’t you people in evo-land use Shared imap folders?

Rouven, will check out the reason why it was disabled. We would look at getting this enabled after getting the planned items if it would take sometime to implement. Will keep you guys updated on the progress..

Rouven, just found the patch for enabling imap shared folders at http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413422 . We will push that to master after a review..
