Will there be anyone able to take time to make decisions about design choices and to do code reviews?
Some things I currently have an interest in, (some are small, some are big): . Adding thumbnails to PDFs . Having perkeep understand how many pages are in a pdf, with that being searchable . Somehow allowing for multiple dates and people being associated with a pdf (e.g. this document was created on date ‘a’ by user ‘z’, mailed on date ‘b’ to user ‘y’, then emailed on date ‘c’ to user ‘x’) in a searchable way I used to make my living doing software engineering (and wrote the pinboard importer for perkeep), but these days I’m working in the legal field. A single case can have over 10,000 pages of PDFs associated with it and I would like to be able to manage them better. - Gina On Wed, Feb 20, 2019 at 6:05 PM Brad Fitzpatrick <[email protected]> wrote: > Another update: I've moved https://opencollective.com/perkeep back to > being hosted by the Open Source non-profit ( > https://opencollective.com/opensourcecollective) instead of me being the > fiscal host. > > That means I don't get the money to my bank account directly anymore, > which is good (and easier on taxes, ugh).
