Is "a ton of dependencies" true? "apt-cache show git-email" suggests otherwise. Is "a ton of dependencies" truly a problem? "apt-get install" would resolve the dependencies for you. > # Plan > So I propose to implement following: > - Allow user to send mail via a [`mailto` > link](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailto). so that users could > complete the mail in their favorite email clients such as gmail, mutt, > alpine and even gmail for android through IIRC, GMail on Android is incapable of sending a "text/plain", so that part may not fly well. > - Build a simple email client (maybe a web components based web app or > wxwidgets based GUI client, they are both cross-platform) which is > easy to use for sending patch without disrupting the mailbox format. I suspect it would yield a better result if the plan were to update a popular email client and make it possible to tell it to read an existing text file (i.e. mbox) without corrupting its contents. People do not have to learn a new mail client if done that way. That may not be a "Git" project, but GSoC is not limited to Git ;-) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
