It's been said here more than once. Let the community fix it, that's what "getting it" means. Releasing something as open source that was open source in the first place, doesn't count. Microb and Modest which use webkit/gecko/etc and Tinymail, were open source right from the get go. Releasing something as open source that is already open source just doesn't make on to the score board. Awesome job on Modest btw, way better than the built in email client. Thanks
