Fork Mailnag #1

Open tikank opened 1 week ago

tikank commented 1 week ago

Purpose

Since it seems that Mailnag is not currently maintained, and I want to continue use it while the world (Python, Gnome, Linux, everything…) changes, I will fork the Mailnag project and merge and fix things at least so much that the program is usable.

I know some parts of the code reasonable well, while other parts are not so familiar to me. I have been contributed to Mailnag and I think I can maintain this fork as much that it works for me and hopefully for others. I have no schedule when I fix or release something. It is released when it is ready.

If Mailnag gets maintained again in future, I hope that changes from this fork can be merged back to it. Otherwise the fork will live its own life.

Visio

The first forked version of Mailnag is released. Some tasks that the work will contain:

Name

Since I don't know if Mailnag is maintained in future, I want to avoid confusion using same name. And also I want to indicate that this is fork of Mailnag. So I will changed the name. I don't want to invent totally different name because this is essentially same program. I also don't like name like Mailnag2 or so.

Let the name be Mailnagger. It is something that nags mails... It is different from Mailnag but reasonable close to it.

I am not going to change name everywhere in code, at least now. Only in mailnag --> mailnagger, mailnag-config --> mailnagger-config, in GUI and in readme etc. files.
