Notmuch BoF -- David Bremner

Originally inspired by the sup mail user agent (MUA), notmuch is a GPL3+ set of tools for for dealing with your mail (stored in Maildirs or similar) via searching and tagging. On top of the C bindings and a scriptable command line interface, the project directly supports user interfaces based on Emacs and VIM as well as integration with Mutt. We also support python, ruby, and go bindings. Other projects based on notmuch include curses based frontends written in python and Mercury, a fork of mutt using notmuch as a the backend, several web interfaces, and a virtual filesystem.

Depending on audience demand, I could give a brief a tour of the notmuch "ecosystem", concentrating on the Emacs interface and command line tool. Otherwise, we can discuss what are the most irritating missing features, people can give demos, we can help each other configure various notmuch related things, and just generally have not much of a fixed agenda.
