1 | # Contributing to olden-mail |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | Contributions are welcome in a limited way: I'm not very experienced with | |
| 4 | networking best practices, so any improvement that may increase the reliability | |
| 5 | or robustness is very appreciated! | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | Feature-wise I believe it to have everything it needs to accomplish its goal, | |
| 8 | so if you want to add some feature please message first, or fork. | |
| 9 | ||
| 10 | Regarding the ergonomics, I'm not sure whether to keep it as environment | |
| 11 | variables or flags, or potentially both. If contributing something around that, | |
| 12 | I'd appreciate that we align first on how it should look like. | |

| 18 | My personal setup is using an SE/30 system 7.5.5, and a mac mini with MacOS 9 | |
