This looks really great. I've been wanting to write something like this for use in our small-ish team, but there is probably really no point if we have this. I would love to see more e-mail integration: someone mentioned mailing in to it t

I find iTerm/iTerm 2 invaluable for full screen mode, ability to turn off scroll bars (and still have a scroll back buffer--can't do this in Terminal.app and it kills me), and copy-on-select.

I haven't looked very hard at the Google stuff (thanks for pointing it out because now it's on my radar) but if it's open source I'm hoping it's designed in such a way that one could make a login_google that works similarly to login_duo, wh

Depending where you're trying to bring developers to, I think you might have to offer even more than that. Maybe if your business is in the Valley, Portland, Seattle, NYC, Chicago, you can find developers willing to come in to the office f

Seriously, we're going to report AT&T and Verizon "mobile data," seemingly at their maximum published speeds (i.e. impressive marketing numbers)? It would be a sad day when I have to resort to a data card from either of these providers

I see a lot of people saying "isn't spam detection good enough that we can forget about this?" without adding "spam detection on Gmail ," apparently. My default installation of SpamAssassin certainly doesn't catch spam as well as Gmail.

How do you ask them to fix them? I'm imagining that you see the commit message after they've pushed it up somewhere. Are you asking them to reword/amend the commit--i.e., change the history of a pushed branch, with the little bit of extra
