      Documentation

      Because it's a constant given by nature a software engineer is a lazy person and so there's plenty of paperwork to do!

      • Tip:

        Many projects have good small tasks that can teach newcomers how the project works. Now's your chance to share one of them!

        Include URLs if relevant (we'll automatically linkify them).

      Redesign of the GUI

      There were loads of changes in the internal memory library and the user interface is clearly outdated. To be honest... it's worse than that. The new lib-intmem on the "generic-intmem" branch rendered the gui uncompileable :)

      • Examples:

        I don't know how to get started with internationalizing my app.

        Bug 392 about printing was filed five years ago, and I don't even know if printing still works.

        I want help from a C coder writing a Maildir patch for Alpine.

      • Note:

        If this issue was formally filed on the web, be sure to include the URL.
