# About This Book

This version of the `Evolution` User's Guide is a draft. It describes version 0.5.1 of the software. It is missing huge chunks of information, and many of the features it describes are unimplemented. All the content is subject to change, especially if you help. Please send comments on the guide to `<aaron@helixcode.com>`. If you would like to work on the guide please contact me or see the GNOME Documentation project web site. This paragraph will be removed in later versions of the manual.

This book is divided into two parts, with several appendices. The first part is a guided tour— it will explain how to use `Evolution`. If you are new to `Evolution` or to groupware in general, this is the section for you. The second section, covering configuration, is targeted at more advanced users, but anyone who wants to change the way `Evolution` looks or acts can benefit from reading it. In addition, there is a comprehensive menu reference which describes nearly every capability that `Evolution` has to offer.

Typographical conventions. Some kinds of words are marked off with special typography:

`Applications`
Commands typed at the command line
`Labels` for interface items
Menu selections look like this: Menu->Submenu->Menu Item
Buttons you can click
`Anything you type in`
`Text output from a computer`
Words that are defined in Glossary.
