According to Alex on IRC, CONVERSATIONS works on the latest version of 
trunk, so in that case, in theory, it should work fine with no 
modifications.
If not, then the get_conversations function needs be commented out and 
rewritten to use just a LIST to work around the command not working (and 
Alex poked to make sure it's fixed soon). That shouldn't be very 
difficult at all if it needs to be done.

The only functionality that really needs to get added before a release 
(with mail only) would be to get the client POSTing data back to the 
server, so that we can mark items as read, deleted, starred, and so on. 
Similarly, the composer needs a slight bit of work.

That all up would probably take a day? The API on the client side has 
essentially been flushed out (we use DataSubmit instead of DataQuery to 
send the request), so all that really needs to be added is the actual 
"send data" call (it's mostly already been stubbed out, and the events 
hooked up) and the code on the server side to actually mark the message 
state and send mail.

All up, probably one or two days work including testing, assuming you 
know your way around the code (I'm willing to guide :). Marking messages 
would probably only take like half an hour/hour, though I think the 
composer will probably be a bit more challenging.

There's a bit of code refactoring that needs to be done, but I think a 
release can be made and this done afterwards.

This should still be applicable (I hope):
http://bongo-project.org/Installing_Crystal (for the backend server)
http://bongo-project.org/Installing_Avocado (frontend; Javascript and so on)

If we're using this code, I'd be all up for a hackfest in two weeks 
(studying all this week, and finals next week).

Good luck!

Cheers,
Alex
