That looks quite reasonable. I hadn't thought of that one myself.

Please feel free! I would appreciate it.

I probably could have done a better job of letting people know that I
would be giving a talk. But then again, there wasn't that much in the
talk that people who read this list regularly don't already know[*].

For anyone interested, a video of the talk should be appearing on
http://linux.conf.au at some point.

The talk went fairly well, I think. But I spent a bit too much at the
beginning just explaining why we need notmuch, so I didn't have enough
time at the end to really show off notmuch well. And I didn't have the
demonstration portions of the talk as rehearsed as I should have, so
some parts of it were not smooth.

Ah well, I'll get better for the next talk.

[*] Then again, Eric works right next to me two days a week and uses
exclusively notmuch for email; as we were attending the conference
together this week I mentioned two features in conversation with others
and he said, "What!? Notmuch can do that?! That's awesome". So that was
fun.

I think the two features were tab completion of tag names (which is a
really old feature by now) and the display of an error message if a pipe
fails (which is a fairly new feature).
