ORM to mail -- pluggable mail directory stuff

Managing large amounts of email

• Email

UI libs for Go

• higher level of abstraction over ncurses

User Stories

• View large amounts of Email quickly | Search through large amounts of email (also quickly)

  • A homebrew search indexing system | embed some search engine thing

  • search should (eventually) support full-text search

• Compose email using their preferred Editor (except Notepad.exe, that shit is toast)

  • use $EDITOR

• bind against many different email-storage formats (maildir, mbox, jfred's next-gen super awesome format)

  • pluggable, which means Identifyign an API

User types

• Users are probably developers
• Don't use Windows

Action Items

• Research Search LIbraries for Go

• Research Full-text Search + Indexing Datastructures

• Research NCurses libraries for Go

  • Ideally ones with a high-level interface to designing UIs

• Research different mailbox formats so we can write plugins for them

• Lay out some lo-fi prototypes for the UI

  • Read & Compose/Reply screen is just the $EDITOR

• Unit Testing -- How does it work in Go?

  • RSpec style?
