Re: [Geary] About GSoC

[Marvin W <gnome larma de>]

Hi,

Just for the record: If Geary is able to accept contributions via GSoC, 
I'd likely apply for it as well. I did some work for Geary back in 
2014/15 and wanted to apply for GSoC 2015 as well, but unfortunately 
Jim/Yorba decided they won't take any GSoC students.

I'm very interested in OpenPGP support but I also like the idea of 
integrating libfolks and think that proper multipart handling would be 
an important improvement. There are also a few smaller things I'd like 
to contribute that would make Geary more user-friendly, e.g. when 
replying to a mailing list while using multiple identities, the 
automatic from-address selection does not work because the to-field 
points to the mailing list and not the receiving address.

Please keep us updated in this regard when GNOME GSoC admins confirm 
Geary can participate under GNOME org. Thanks!

Marvin
