I"m interested in doing what I can do. I'm a lot more experienced...
well.. I've done a lot more C programming than anything else. I go on the
GTK side.. mainly because I would like to learn gtk more than anything
else. I think the previously thought of features are great.. especially
the command keys...
However, the way I see it, there are a lot of just mail programs out
there for linux already. I'm thinking what would be really beneficial
would be one that does something a lot like Outlook from Micro$oft does.
Integrate the contact management, and time management functions into one
program instead of having several different programs involved and do a
good graphical interfacing between the different sections. I'm not saying
an outlook interface per se.. but something that just works well and is
easy to use.
Just my 2 cents..
