Re: [sup-devel] Turn Turnsole into a generic mail client

[Vivien Didelot <vivien.didelot@gmail.com>]

Hi William,

I'm not suggesting to make Heliotrope supports several clients (what it already does via  provinding JSON),
I'm suggesting the make the Turnsole interface modulable to several mail sources.

And its default and official one will be the Heliotrope client for sure.

I hope it is clearer.

The server portion of turnsole, heliotrope, is explicitly designed to
support multiple clients and provides a JSON-over-HTTP interface for
that purpose.

The specifics of the protocol are still subject to change, but see e.g.
https://github.com/wmorgan/heliotrope/blob/master/lib/heliotrope-client.rb
for the ruby client that turnsole uses to communicate with the server.
