What is Email-Reminder?

Email-Reminder allows users to define events for which they want to receive a reminder by email (see sample reminders) either on the day of the event and/or a few days beforehand.

Possible events include:

  • birthdays
  • anniversaries
  • weekly, monthly and yearly events
This program includes a cron job that checks for events and sends reminders once a day, and a simple user interface (see screenshots) to add/modify reminders.

Reminders are either sent to your email account or to certain people directly.

from Google Code (Linux/UNIX source code).

New source repository and bug tracker

I have just moved the source code repository for email-reminder to a git repository. Aside from git being a great distributed revision control system, this move was intended to allow easier collaboration with outside contributors.

So go ahead, work on email-reminder, commit your changes and send me those patches you've always been meaning to upstream :)

As a complement to this new distributed repository, I have also added an embedded cil repository to keep track of bugs and future enhancements. Give it a try, it's a fantastic little command-line issue tracker that works beautifully with git. Then send some more ideas to Andy.

Hey François, glad that you converted to Git. Now I can hack on it and make it easier to get you stuff!

Watch out for my first 'pull' request very soon :-)
