It's something I'd definitely like done. I've emailed the creator of postmill to ask about private development and she hasn't gotten back to me.

I may setup a development server in the future and do a separate fork of postmill based on community contributors. Truth be told I'm no programmer but I like the idea of community involvement to turn this into what we want it.

I'm wanting to start some sort of "practice PGP" thing, where members can share their key and receive a key and send messages or respond to questions for fun (and for practice). It's my belief PGP is one of those things like knowing how to start a fire with wet wood. You certainly don't need it everyday but some day you might, and it'll be good to know how to do.

I'll probably get some sort of IRC channel up. I'm unfamiliar with common/modern chat platforms like Riot/Discord/etc. But either IRC or a XMPP group chat or something would be cool.
