-      This is the &Evolution; Developer's Guide or programming guide
-      for the &Evolution; groupware suite.  If you are a programmer
-      and you wish to use &Evolution;'s functionality from your own
-      applications or if you wish to modify the &Evolution; core code,
-      you should read this guide.
-    </para>
-
-    <para>
-      If you are an end-user of &Evolution; you do not need to read
-      this guide; please read the &Evolution; User's Guide instead.

-      This guide contains the information you need to know to do the
-      following:
-
-      <itemizedlist>
-	<listitem>
-	  <para>
-	    Write applications that use &Evolution;'s data
-	    repositories via the &Wombat; personal information server.
-	    Examples of this would be a <application>GNOME
-	    Panel</application> applet that displays today's
-	    appointments, or a telephone dialer application that uses
-	    the contents of the &Evolution; Addressbook.
-	  </para>
-	</listitem>
-
-	<listitem>
-	  <para>
-	    Write applications that use the &Camel; mail library.
-	    This includes extending &Evolution;'s own mail component
-	    to perform additional functions.
-	  </para>
-	</listitem>
-
-	<listitem>
-	  <para>
-	    Write new components for the &Evolution; Shell.  Instead
-	    of writing a stand-alone application, you can provide your
-	    users with the benefit of having integrated views of their
-	    data from within Evolution.
-	  </para>
-	</listitem>
-
-	<listitem>
-	  <para>
-	    Write new modules for the &Evolution; Executive Summary.
-	    This allows you to present commonly-accessed information
-	    in a convenient fashion directly in the &Evolution; Shell.
-	  </para>
-	</listitem>
-
-	<listitem>
-	  <para>
-	    Modify the core &Evolution; code to add new features or
-	    change its architecture.

-      <title>Organization of this Guide</title>
-
-      <para>
-	This guide is organized in two big sections.  The first is a
-	programming guide, which consists of one part for each one of
-	&Evolution;'s components:  there are separate parts for the
-	calendar, the addressbook, the mailer, the executive summary,
-	and the shell.  Each part gives a description of the
-	architecture of its corresponding component, and also gives
-	information about the component's internal architecture and
-	some implementation details.
-      </para>
-
-      <para>
-	The second section of this guide is a reference guide for
-	&Evolution;'s programming interfaces.  We have separated these
-	into public and private interfaces.  The public ones are those
-	that most people will need to use when writing extensions or
-	third-party components; the private interfaces are those used
-	internally in &Evolution;.  Even if you do not intend to
-	modify the &Evolution; core code, it may be useful to know a
-	bit about the way it is organized internally.
-      </para>
-
-      <para>
-	&Evolution; is free software, and we want you as a programmer
-	to make the most of it.  We have provided many useful
-	interfaces that you can use in your own applications.  Still,
-	we want you to view &Evolution; as a framework for building
-	groupware applications, and this may occasionally involve
-	making changes to its core code.  We want you to learn from
-	&Evolution;'s design because we think it marks an important
-	milestone in the development of large-scale free software
-	applications.  We want you to modify it as you see fit.  Free
-	software gives you this freedom, and we want the whole world
-	to benefit from it.
