Re: [Geary] About GSoC

[郑志雄 <alaneuler 163 com>]

Hi,

Thank you for your reply!

I am working on learning vala and looking at the Geary's source code right now.

And I will try to fix some newcomers bug to get familiar with Geary's codebase.

If I have some problems I will ask in Geary's IRC or mailing list.: )

I am a postgraduate majoring in Security (password). Supporting GPG encryption and signing interest me most,

so I think it may be the most suitable one for me.

Sincerely, Alaneuler.
