[Geary] Hello

[situmam at gmail.com]

Hello everyone.

My name is Anmar Oueja. I am excited about the prospects of geary.  I
think it is going to fill in a need because, lets face it, Linux
e-mail clients leave a lot to be desired.

I am interested in helping with this project because I have a personal
interest in this subject and a fundamental belief that in order for
Linux to succeed on the desktop, it must have a solid set of
applications.  People use the applications not the OS.

I am not a developer but not shy to learn and would like to help out
in any way I can. I am not stranger to Linux as I have been
professionally involved in Linux projects for more than 12 years.  Currently, I
work for www.linaro.org, which is a non profit organization dedicated
to furthering Linux on the ARM architecture.

Here are some future ideas that might be of interest.

- Gmail hot keys is a big plus.I would even go further and propose
that the entire interface be accessible through hot keys.
- Reaction speed. Have the interface react really fast to actions.
Ideally, I would like to fly through e-mail like I can in mutt or
wanderlust.
- I am sure you know about this but I will mention it any way.
Sparrow mail (http://sparrowmailapp.com/) is a good model to learn a
few good ideas from
- Integration into gnome-contacts is a big plus. I see there are plans
to do that
- Good bindings for editing text using simple ASCII and not rely
solely on HTML. I can provide numerous ideas to help making editing
ext easier.
- Coloured quote levels
- reminders. This is a big feature I wished an e-mail client would
support. It provides a way for the end user to postpone responding to
an e-mail until another time. Basically hide the e-mail and pop it up
again in 1, 2, 5 or more days. This an advanced feature that is
targeted at 2.0 release

I don't want to just create work for you guys :-)... I am also willing
to aid so any direction as to where I can help out, is much
appreciated.

Cheers,

anmar
