<p>Dear Hammy,</p>
<p>a quick clarification question on running Thunderbird in <i>"tablet"
mode</i> - are you referring to a desktop OS such as Windows
or Mac OS on a laptop / hybrid device such as a Microsoft
Surface Pro? AFAIK there is no mobile platform version of
Thunderbird planned; what device do you use yours on?<br>
</p>
<p>thanks,<br>
Axel<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hey all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Long-term Thunderbird user checking in,
I’ve also recently come back to using Firefox. Absolutely love
both applications, the integration of extensions on Android is
also ingenious. What’s not to love between desktop and mobile?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One of the things that does bother me is
that Thunderbird is looking a little dated visually compared
to the likes of Nylas N1, and it’s also lacking touch support
with swipe gestures and finger-friendly targets. I would
really like to contribute to Thunderbird’s UX and bring touch
support with a “tablet” mode, this would undoubtedly bring a
lot of users back to Thunderbird who have grown accustomed to
a UI that’s easy on the eyes and that works on their tablets.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Managing Thunderbird via a mailing list is
really quite dated in this day and age too, it’s not the best
way to manage a project of this scale, and it’s also not
public. I’ve <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://twitter.com/mozthunderbird/status/729542410376634370">been
advised by @mozthunderbird on Twitter</a> to raise this with
the mailing list.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I propose that Thunderbird should be
open-sourced to accelerate development, and that it should be
on GitHub, as it’s very much the de-facto standard for these
projects. Large corporations such as Microsoft and Facebook
open-source software on there, and it’s worked well for
Mozilla too on GitHub so far.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the best,<o:p></o:p></p>
