-        Information is useless unless it's organized and accessible;
-        it's hardly even worth the name if you can't look at it and be

-        <application>Evolution</application>'s goal is to make the
-        tasks of storing, organizing, and retrieving your personal
-        information easier, so you can work and communicate with
-        others.  That is, it's a highly evolved <glossterm

-        part of the Internet-connected desktop.

-        <application>Evolution</application> can help you work in a

-             The application must be <emphasis>both powerful and easy

-             and intuitive interface that users can customize to their
-             liking, and users should have access to shortcuts for
-             complex tasks.

-              <application>Evolution</application> must meet and
-              exceed the standards set by other groupware products.
-              It must include support for major network <glossterm
-              linkend="protocol">protocols</glossterm> so that it can
-              integrate seamlessly with existing hardware and network

-               The project must support open standards and be open to
-               expansion, so that it can become a development platform
-               as well as an application.  From the simplest scripting
-               to the most complex network and component programming,
-               <application>Evolution</application> must offer
-               developers an environment for cutting-edge application

-      <application>Evolution</application> is designed to make most
-      daily tasks faster.  For example, it takes only one or two
-      clicks to enter an appointment or an address card sent to you
-      by email, or to send email to a contact or appointment.
-      <application>Evolution</application> makes displays faster and
-      more efficient, so searches are faster and memory usage is
-      lower.  People who get lots of mail will appreciate advanced
-      features like <link linkend="usage-mail-organize-vFolders">
-	Virtual Folders</link>, which let you save searches as though 
-      they were ordinary mail folders.
