 The funny things about really good software projects, that sometimes they are so good and complete already that there is no fuss around them, they just work and do the job done. Mailing lists are quite, new commits are rare. Sometimes it can even feels that they are unmaintained or dead, but in fact they are more than alive. https://notmuchmail.org/ What other cool "almost complete" projects do you know? 11 comments
@nobodyinperson Sounds good. I have a task to learn more about git annex on my todo list for a long time, but didn't get to it yet. I see a recording of your workshop on it published a few days ago, but unfortunately my Deutsch is too bad to watch it meaningfully :) @abcdw Yeah I guess I'll do a resync in English at some point when I find the time.  @abcdw The one I don't use is notmutch and it was because I didn't take the time to learn but now you posted this I got interest on it. @jrballesteros05 Definitely give it a shot. It's a great piece of software. Also, there are a lot of articles and videos on the topic.  @shemeshg Sorry, I can't understand what you are trying to communicate by this message. It’s not that #pass #Passwordtore is complete; rather, it is very challenging to improve it due to ineffective communication channels. (it is not available on GitHub). also no formal standard that would standardize the different implementations of Pass, (GoPass,..) The lack of a clear anchor on how to modify derivative projects can make the process even more difficult. ==>hypothetically Moving pass to github will yield countless PRs and requests for changes and improvements. in other words: |

@abcdw Indeed. Though I think about adding :gitannex: #gitAnnex support to #pass. Putting the gpg-encrypted password files into git directly is not so great. I guess the script could be made to auto-detect if the repo has an annex and then use git annex add instead of git add when appropriate.
