gedit might be ok without gnome but i am not sure wheter evolution would work without gnome, i know evolution greatly increases the size of the package (almost 25% of it) is there any other reason for splitting them out of package?

curaga:
Well, users might want to have them without having gnome DE. If Evolution runs with only the gnome libs, it should be fine separated.

gedit is easy but evolution requires more (evolution-data-server, gtkhtml, and some other libs) splitted

first i will test them from base but who wants a text editor with 80 dependencies :D (i am not sure about the number, gnome-python looks like a run-time dependency)

curaga:
Oh, another point I forgot to add - do you consider Evolution an integral part of the gnome desktop?

If it's a big part of it, and an user uses webmail for example, would make more sense not to have it there.
