# Contributing to olden-mail

Contributions are welcome in a limited way: I'm not very experienced with
networking best practices, so any improvement that may increase the reliability
or robustness is very appreciated!

Feature-wise I believe it to have everything it needs to accomplish its goal,
so if you want to add some feature please message first, or fork.

Regarding the ergonomics, I'm not sure whether to keep it as environment
variables or flags, or potentially both. If contributing something around that,
I'd appreciate that we align first on how it should look like.

## The objective of olden mail

The goal of olden-mail is to connect vintage comptures to modern mail servers.

My personal setup is using an SE/30 system 7.5.5, and a mac mini with MacOS 9
connecting to Fastmail. That's the setup I've tested so far.

## How to contribute

Above All: Be nice, always.

* Ensure the linter/formatter shows no warnings or errors
* Send patches to olden.mail@r.bdr.sh using [git-send-mail][git-send-mail]

## Things I'd like help with

* General code quality
* Tests
* More robust and reliable networking
* Better debugging
* Compatibility with other setups
