Re: [Geary] About GSoC

[Michael Gratton <mike vee net>]

Hi,

Thanks for getting in touch about this! It would be great to have you 
contributing to Geary as part of GSoC.

I'm probably able to mentor for Geary, but will talk to the GNOME GSoC 
admins to confirm. The other geary devs (Niels & Gautier) may be 
interested as well.

It might indeed be worthwhile having a look at Geary bugs labelled with 
the newcomers keyword[0], and seeing if there is something there you 
can look into fixing. This would both help with learning vala, and to 
become more familiar with Geary's codebase. Let me know if you would 
like some suggestions.

Some potential GSoC projects include:

- Supporting GPG encryption and signing [1]
- Improving contact management [2][3]
- Improving multipart handling [4]

Do any of these sound interesting?

//Mike
