Hello everybody, by this email I'd like to open discussion about the future of the mutt project. From year to year we can witness a small, but certain decline in the overall mutt project vitality. This is in direct contrast with the user-base which is (according to tickets and mailing lists) both quite active and interested.
I came up with several thoughts I want to bring forward. 1) The following question is expected to be answered by the current mutt project maintainers/developers. Are you feeling you have enough resources (individuals, time, equipment...) for continuing the development & maintenance of mutt together with recovering from the current approach of slow-dying? If not, are you willing to let volunteer users to take over? 2) I'd like to challenge everyone interested/involved to clearly mention anything which she/he considers relevant to this rather slow-down-more-and-more principle of maintenance/development of the mutt project. This discussion is intended to show the disposition of the current mutt developers and power users with emphasis on gathering ideas for significant improvement in the mutt project life. The ultimate goal would be, after proper aggregation of the discussion content, to decide _how_ to maintain and develop mutt from now on, seen from the less-technical perspective (i.e. focused on the project team membership, rules etc.). Feel free to react without any concerns. Kind regards -- Jan Pacner
