IIRC Kmail "reply" command does it to the "To:" field, while what you
want is either "reply all" or "reply to the list" (I am not sure it
exists in Kmail, I have never used it).

You cannot push to Git repositories if you are not part of the project.
Instead, use `git format-patch origin/HEAD` to extract your commit as a
mail patches and then `git send-mail` (from the git-email package) to
send them to this mailing list.

If you ever want to start yet another phone GUI, please base it on the
freesmartphone.org stack:

  http://freesmartphone.org/

Another option would be to "simply" port the original Openmoko
applications: Hackable:1 should still provide the GTK+ version (IIRC not
yet based on freesmartphone.org), while SHR ships the EFL version based
on freesmartphone.org.

As a profane (i.e. a biologist not very good at programming), I would
like the very same application available in different GUI libraries.

Thx, bye,
Gismo / Luca
