Hi all,
With #5642 finished, I've cleared out my current to-do list for Geary.
There's a few directions I might go next, so I thought I'd check to see
which would be the most productive. There are two missing features
that keep me from using Geary full time. I don't know if I should work
on those, or if it would be better to attack some smaller issues to
free up others to work on them.
The first missing feature is search, and it looks like that's already
being taken care of. If there's some part of that I could help with,
please let me know. Otherwise, I'll stay out of the way on this.
The second missing feature is offline mode (#3767). I suspect this is
also a fairly large project, since everything that might query the
server has to be told what to do when the server isn't available. If
there's some sort of a plan here that would make sense for me to work
on, I'm willing. But I'm not the person to make that plan if it
doesn't exist.
There are two somewhat smaller, or at least more well-defined, areas
that might be more productive for me. First, there are several bugs
related to identifying more things as attachments (attached emails,
attachments in attached emails, inline parts). While I'm not familiar
with this part of the code, there does seem to be a density of targets
that could make it worthwhile for me to learn.
The other project would be inline replies (#4554). This interests me
less, but it does touch on two areas (conversation view and composer)
that I know pretty well. Since this is targeted for 0.5, I'm guessing
that this isn't much of a priority at the moment, but I would be happy
to work on it.
There's also numerous smaller bugs that I might make some progress on.
I don't know what the schedule for 0.4 looks like, but if you'd prefer
bugfixing to new features at this time, please say so.
So let me know which of these is most desired, or if there's something
I haven't considered that would be helpful. I won't promise to follow
your recommendation, but I will weigh it when considering what to do
next.
Thanks,
Robert
P.S. Two Redmine questions:
1) Some bugs I watch because I want to know what's happening with them,
while others I watch because I might want to work on them. But I have
to try to remember which is which when look through to find one to work
on. Are there any tricks for tagging bugs so that I can get a list
just of bugs I might want to work on?
2) The Redmine comment box is absurdly wide. Every time I make a
comment, I have to start by scrolling to the right and then dragging
the corner back to the left to give it a reasonable width. Is there
anything you can do on the backend to fix this? Thanks.
