Recent improvements to my handling of email have helped considerably, but have also revealed problems with gmail and project coordination in general. Kent has suggested I look into claws mail, but I'd rather look for other workarounds.
You could say that the essence of the problem is that Leo doesn't do email ;-) Email is good (not great) for collaboration, but it sucks as a data organizer. Gmail labels can only be applied to entire threads. My unsatisfactory workaround is to mark items that require further action as "important" (mark with a star). This is better than nothing, but only just. To organize tasks to be done *for myself*, I could copy starred items into a personal .leo file. I could then organize those tasks as usual with Leo. But none of this would easily be available to others. Alas, sharing quickly-changing .leo files is not easy. Matt and others have been referring to snippets of code in github, and that's good, but we still have to manage those snippets, and the projects related to those snippets. Project threads are an attempt to work around these difficulties. They are hardly a cure-all, but imo they are worth a try. The idea is to devote each PT to management-related tasks for a single (shared) project. The first PT will be about installation issues. This thread will allow Matt and I to coordinate our activities. Anyone else is welcome to join, but a PT is *not* the place to report new issues or bugs, even if they are related to the subject of the PT. I hope the idea is clear. If not, please ask question on *this* thread. Your comments, please. Edward. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
