info about notmuch gui 'alot'

[Philippe LeCavalier]

Just curious about 'alot'. I grabbed a copy from git but can't get past
a certain point of the setup. It appears to be in preliminary stages and
I'm prob. not the best candidate to run it reliably but I'd still like
to take a peek. Here's[1] what I'm stuck on. Any assistance would be
appreciated OR if this project is overly unstable for a non-coder please
don't hesitate to say so and I'll wait til it's more suitable for me.
