With Evolution Data Server, GNOME provides a single address book and
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
calendar that all applications can use to store and retrieve information.
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
Using Evolution Data Server means that users no longer have to maintain
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
separate lists of contacts in each application, or manually copy events
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
to their calendar.

People use computers increasingly to interact with their friends
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
and colleagues. Applications such as email programs, instant messengers,
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
and telephony and video conferencing applications are used to communicate
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
with others. These applications often provide contact lists to help users.
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
Using Evolution Data Server, applications can store contact information in
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
a single location, allowing all applications to see all the pertinent data
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
about users' contacts.
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
Applications can also use Evolution Data Server to store and retrieve
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
appointments on the user's calendar. For example, the clock on the panel
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
shows a simple calendar when clicked. If the user has any appointments
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
scheduled, they are shown alongside the calendar. This makes it easy to
|
|
Packit |
1470ea |
see upcoming appointments without opening a full calendar application.
