OSAF is looking for a developer to focus on the e-mail client in Chandler. If you know someone who fits the bill, please refer them to jobs@osafoundation.org (which is read by me and by Michael Toy, our Development Manager).
We need someone with good experience in developing an email client. We have good people who have expertise in (1) doing the back end store, (2) UI design, (3) email feature sets and their relevance to different user segments. What we need to complete the team is a master craftsperson who can architect and integrate all of the pieces needed to make a great email client.
The ideal candidate would have a resume that lines up fairly well with this list of requirements:
Experience dealing with the collection of e-mail standards.
An appreciation of elegant code and a passion for programming.
An interest in producing products that people love to use.
A completed software product, big or small, that you wrote all, or a significant portion of, which you would be proud to demonstrate as an example of good design.
Self-motivation. You will be expected to help decide what problems need to be solved and solve them on your own with little supervision.
Experience programming desktop applications on multiple platforms in multiple languages and different development environments.
Experience in object-oriented programming and user-interface toolkits.
Strong expertise in some of the following areas: user-interface design, wxWindows, Python, open source software development.
Finally, you must be able to work in the S.F. Bay Area.

Hope whoever takes it does a better job then with Notes. Talk about a clunky, unintuitive, frustrating email client.

If I might make a suggestion:
Why not get in touch with
Hiroyuki Yamamoto .
He's got an excellent Open Source email client and it's at 0.92 now.

If there is any one person that comes to mind, the author of the Mercury/Pegasus would be the one. I haven't used it in a while, but I used to swear by it. David Harris in New Zealand. You might get lucky.
To quote his site at pmail.com
Welcome to the North American Web Site for Pegasus Mail, the Internet's longest-serving PC e-mail system, and for the Mercury Mail Transport System, our comprehensive range of Internet Mail Server products. Pegasus Mail and Mercury are free products, dedicated to serving all who need them.
