I mostly agree with you, but about the gui, i'd like to add something that imho |
| 9 |
should be taken into consideration. |

Many users are using the shell but still want a nice UI. For example, i'm using |
| 12 |
my gentoo box remotely most of the time (from my office workstation...), but i |
| 13 |
really appreciate using Wanderlust for my mails : though i'm using it from a |
| 14 |
secure shell, i still have a nice text-UI... |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
I know it's extra-work, and that it may not come at first, but could room be |
| 17 |
made to allow someone (or maybe yourself) to easily add a text-UI at a later |
| 18 |
stage ? Something like a core/ui architecture ? |

So i am : imho, it really is too "overkill" a dependancy. |

I don't have many knowledge concerning data management, but wouldn't berkdb be |
| 26 |
a good choice, too ? |
| 27 |
|

Anyway, it's really a good idea. |

Good luck in your initiative ! |
