GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 233035
support central deployment (softdist)
Last modified: 2012-06-16 23:01:51 UTC
It is important to support central deployment. The scenerio is: The system admin can deploy evolution on some server in an enterprise enviroment and set the basic setting for the users. Then all the users can use evolution with these settings. Also, if he/she wants to change some setting, it's flexible for him/her to do so.
setting target to 2.5; reassigning to harish. according to http://go-evolution.org/Evo2.6#Misc Evolution Gconf tools (see http://live.gnome.org/Evolution_2fGConfTools ) should perhaps become part of evolution. though this contradicts to the plan to remove account information from gconf: http://go-evolution.org/Evo2.6#Misc sigh...
Well, it is okay for conflicting proposals to be debated in the planning page - they should be resolved by the time we whip up the tasks list
61% want better admin tools - http://primates.ximian.com/~federico/docs/2006-GUADEC/how-much-faster/img28.html get real, fix this for 2.9.
Moving account information out of GConf to plain text files should help here. In any case, this is a very broad issue and isn't Evolution-specific. It needs to be addressed at a desktop-level and not left for every app to solve in their own incompatible way. Closing as WONTFIX since I don't plan to change the architecture explicitly to address this.
