"""This is a script for internal use when doing large mail migrations with mbsync
See http://isync.sourceforge.net/mbsync.html for more information on the product
If IMAP disconnects occur on a large mailbox, the internal .journal file that tracks progress
 can grow very large in size, though much of the information is not needed
This script can be used to reduce the file in size

NB: This should be used with caution, and never while mbsync is running
It does not replace the file, but can be used to produce a new journal file,

    Scientific Training in Undergraduate Computer Science

Background

This document was formed out of the consensus of leaders in software development companies in Cape Town, and proposes some changes to the undergraduate Computer Science curriculum, in order to improve the level of understanding and effectiveness of students, both in order to increase their relevant skills on graduation,
