It seems clear that I'll have some opportunities to present notmuch to
various audiences at varying levels of formality. Since notmuch is
already a bigger project than me, I'd love to get some ideas from others
about what you think are the "big ideas" in notmuch.
So here are a few different phrasings of what's basically the same
question. And I'd love to hear some brief opinions on any one of these,
(or similar topics):
What's your favorite thing about notmuch?
What about notmuch makes it distinctive compared to other email
programs?
If someone were to implement a new email system from scratch, but
capturing the "ideas" of notmuch, what would it have to have?
I'll put some of my own answers together in a reply as well.
And obviously, we should probably put a wiki page together to give a
good exposition on the "philosphy of notmuch" (once we can figure out
what that is).
-Carl
