[05:30] <studio-devel671> i want to contribute but how do i start?
[13:33] <linuxpt2> Have I got this correct?... top posting is on the ML where people reply and just add to the convo by typing at the top when they should actually be typing under old info?
[15:42] <OvenWerks> linuxpt2: yes.
[15:43] <OvenWerks> in general when I reply to an email, I edit the message I am replying to and remove all excess stuff first.
[15:43] <OvenWerks> I have the email client set up to preface old material with a > per line so it stands out, but others have it indented too.
[15:44] <linuxpt2> Hi there, thanks for replying.
[15:44] <OvenWerks> I can then put my comments under the part of the email I am actually answering.
[15:45] <linuxpt2> I have been catching up with the project by reading the Srudio-dev mailing list and went back as far as oct 2015... just got to present day late last night
[15:45] <OvenWerks> ouch.
[15:45] <linuxpt2> indeed
[15:45] <linuxpt2> but it was helpful for me to understand how things are around here etc
[15:46] <linuxpt2> Do I have to use a mail client by the way to deal with the ML in future?
[15:46] <OvenWerks> that is up to you. I do not see how else you would read them besides from archive.
[15:47] <linuxpt2> Yeah that is what I wondered... I guess I will be dusting off Thunderbird once I get Studio installed again after all these years
[15:47] <OvenWerks> even if you use a phone to read answer mail there is some kind of email client involved.
[15:48] <OvenWerks> so using gmail on the web still uses an email client.
[15:48] <linuxpt2> I try to use phones for non-phne tasks as little as possible.. touch screen etc is too tedious for me these days.
[15:48] <OvenWerks>  :)
[15:48] <linuxpt2> or maybe i am just stubborn....
[15:49] <OvenWerks> smart maybe.
[15:49] <linuxpt2> krytarik and Set and eylul are aware of me from when i appeared here mid week, but I do plan on posting to the ML just to introduce myself over the next few days
[15:50] <OvenWerks> touched based computing is helpful to the computer manufacture first, not the user.
[15:50] <OvenWerks> same with convergence... making the desktop fit a phone based OS/DE
[15:51] <linuxpt2> replace the word 'user' with the phrase 'data vein to be mined' eh!
[15:51] <OvenWerks> that too.
[15:52] <OvenWerks> anyway, I have to go.
[15:52] <linuxpt2> Thanks again.
[15:52] <linuxpt2> Bye.
[15:52] <OvenWerks> no problem.
