[maemo-developers] announcing the modest email project

[From: Larry Battraw]

 Very exciting news!  I know the community has been hoping we'd have a
sponsored alternative to the existing email client.  First things
first-- when checking out via svn I use my garage user name and
password because it requires a login.  I get a 403 forbidden error, so
is there another login/password I should be using?

Thanks-
Larry
