So I got behind. + +I also had some difficulty in accepting the fact that I wasn't able to +be as directly involved with notmuch as I was in the beginning. Early on +I would read every message sent to the list and try to ensure that every +question received at least some answer, (whether from me or for someone +else). But of course, I never succeeded at actually keeping up with +that, so my queues kept getting bigger and more intimidating, etc. + +Anyway, it's been about 18 months since I've done anything real with +notmuch. I'm so delighted to see that the community that built up around +notmuch has been so independent, doing great things in my absence. I'm +excited to start looking close at the new features that I've not played +with (nmbug, date parsing, etc.), and maybe start implementing some of +those ancient features that I never got around to implementing in the +first place, (indexing of List-Id headers?). + +So a huge thank you to all of you! + +When I got over the psychological hurdles and decided to just archive +away the old, neglected mail queues, notmuch at least did make that +really easy. And I've now got an email workflow going really well for +me, that I think will be really useful. Notmuch allows the workflow +quite well, but doesn't guide me through it as smoothly as I would +like. More on that in a later message. + +But for now, I should be reading the list much more regularly going +forward, and I'll be happy to have people CC me directly when they want +my particular attention for some specific reason. + +And of course, all of the 12,000+ [*] messages I missed in the last +18 months[*] are still present in my archives. So new replies to old +messages might bring things to my attention. People can use that +intentionally if it will be useful. + +I don't know how much code I'll be committing on a regular basis. But I +will definitely be "around" now much more. + +Thanks again for all you've done over the last while. And thanks in +advance for what I know will be a warm welcome. + +-Carl + +[*] Hurrah for date searches! It's wonderful to have this feature!! + +--=-=-= +Content-Type: application/pgp-signature + +-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- +Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) + +iEYEARECAAYFAlEHPp4ACgkQ6JDdNq8qSWgOcQCbBbKTDmRc6QBZtSokneZj/VCS +UCYAnjZhwwXoZ+batmCVs1sFjknootDq +=4qEK +-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- +--=-=-=-- -- 2.26.2
