Hello
While trail is hot, I'd like to report a couple of issues I faced when doing tutorial.
1. I found no email address of the mailing list, where to send patches to. There was only the link to google groups. So, first I used web interface to post a patch, and it was wrong. Julia then mailed the address to me. Maybe the address should be mentioned in the tutorial explicitly? (And OK, maybe I'm lame in mailing lists, but the tutorial is for newbies after all:)
2. Submitting a patch using mutt went OK, but when I tried `git send-email` - I got error:
sendmail: fatal: open /etc/postfix/main.cf: No such file or directory
Died at /usr/lib/git-core/git-send-email line 1292, <FIN> line 3.

I had trouble about this before also but figured it out. On the web
interface, click 'About' that is beside 'Members' and there you will
find the group email to send the patches to.

Most likely you will need to update your .gitconfig to point to the
configured esmtp the same way you did for mutt. Add this to your
.gitconfig:
[sendemail]
smtpserver = /usr/bin/esmtp

Thanks for the report. I added the email address.

Add this to .gitconfig, like Eva Rachel Retuya wrote:
[sendemail]
smtpserver = /usr/bin/esmtp
I checked, it works.
