Not so tiny(mail)
Hi,
it’s a long time since my last post and the most important thing I want to say is that I’m happy 
. Yes it’s a very strong word but I’m currently carrying on a project that makes me really happy. This project, you’ll hear about this in the near future, uses the tinymail development framework maintained by a really kind and enthusiastic guy, Philip Van Hoof.
The title says not so tiny because the framework is getting bigger and better. New capabilities are added every day, just take a look at the Changelog. Now we’re working on things like folder subscriptions, message transfers or error handling. Release 1.0 is getting closer, but this does not mean that the work is nearly finished, there is still a long TODO, and that’s really nice (a lot of things to design and implement).
I specially like the high effort that Philip is putting in the design, using a lot of well-known design patterns that allows the framework to be very extensible. I’m very proud to be part of this project, because I think tinymail is a high quality project. I’m contributing to the project for just two weeks but I really feel part of it, and this is mainly due to how things are done by Philip. I think that a lot of project maintainers should learn from him, he really likes seeing people contributing and he really encourages you to go on.
Long live tinymail 
.
¡Hola Sergio!
¡Tienes que decirle a Philip que te enlace en su post en planet gnome!.
Saludos y enhorabuena a todos por ahí por Gnome Handhelds y el trabajo que hacéis en Galicia.

¡Saludos Sergio y Cía.!
Tengo el enlace a planet igalia a mano para echarle un vistazo regularmente

Seguro que Philip no tiene ningún problema en enlazarte al blog.
De ruso aprendí algo en el instituto durante un año, ya que estaba hermanado con el Rosalía de Castro de Moscú
. Pero hace tiempo que no practico… así que solamente me acuerdo de algunas cosas básicas y de leer :S.

[…] It looks like Not so tiny(mail)tinymail is making a hacker happy. That’s why I’m doing it, that’s the very reasoning of free software and software development in general for me. […]

Hmm, I don’t talk Spanish. I guess I’ll have to ask my Tinne (who studied Spanish for a year) to translate what you guys are telling about me
