| Alternate protocol for mailnews folders
| Thunderbird has long-term plans to implement a variety of mail and mail-like protocols to be managed as mailnews folders. An existing addon (SkinkGlue) exists to provide the glue for this. Implement one other protocol, which might be Twitter, Fastmail's JMAP, or Calendar events & tasks
| JavaScript
| rkent
| rkent and, depending on protocol, a chat guy (clokep?), brong from Fastmail, or Fallen
| I doubt having 2 twitter implementations in Thunderbird is a valuable investment of time. JMAP seems the most promising protocol idea here; do we know if brong is on board to (co-)mentor this? Even though the code would be primarily written in JS, I suspect having some C++ skills to be able to understand some of mailnews' internals would be very helpful.
