Hi all,
in order to give everyone interested (and everyone joining this
Saturdays's mini-hackathon) something to code, here's a list of existing
Postorius features, followed by a list of *some* missing features. Of
course, the second list is up for discussion - ideally it should
transform into a concrete "what Postorius must be able to do"-list
before Friday, so we can file bugs on launchpad and assign them.
1) Existing Features:
* Add/Remove lists
* List overview (shows all public mailing lists).
* List info/subscribe/unsubscribe
* Mass subscription (admin only)
* List members overview (admin only)
* Held messages/moderation (admin only)
* Edit list settings (list identity, autoresponse, digest. moderation -
admin only)
* Add domains (admin only)
* Authentication through BrowserID or a Postorius admin account (created
during installation).
2) What's missing:
* Adding/editing users
* Editing user data
* Assigning roles to existing memberships (member/owner/moderator).
* Access control based on membership roles/superuser status.
* Membership moderation
* Better/more help/success/error messages
* Better test coverage
* OpenID Log-In
* Registration without BrowserID, OpenID?
* Anonymous subscriptions?
* Translation?
There are, of course, many more possible features, but I'd consider
these the essentials. I'm also sure I've missed something important... ;-)
Cheers

Thanks Andrija! Going with a solid colour helped a lot. I had to do a
bit of tweaking of the lines to make the button visible from a
reasonable distance (and to offset the low resolution of the printer I
have on hand), but I now have colourful GNU Mailman buttons to give out
at GHC12 next week. :)

I do promise to print and mail out a few for my GSoC mentors if I can
find your addresses (And Andrija if you send me your address!), but the
rest of you may have to wait 'till pycon if you want one of mine. But
you can print your own! Here's the template I used:
http://terri.zone12.com/mailman-logo-buttonsheet-dark.svg
I'm pretty sure that falls under my existing copyright agreement with
Mailman or standard GPL since it's modified from the logo, so you
should consider it GPL'ed and free for use as you see fit. It's a
standard 1.5" button if you happen to know someone else with a button
machine or want to do a run at a print shop.

So, I'm having a bit of trouble with the Mailman logo:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/terrio/8025917889/in/photostream
The problem being that the delicate lines pretty much just don't show up
when I try to print it in button size.
I don't suppose anyone here has some hidden graphics-fu and could help
me out? the buttons have a 1.375in printable area, and I'm using a
colour laser. Maybe if I switched to a single colour instead of the
gradients it would help make them work better?
The original logo page is here:
http://list.org/images/logo2010.svg
I made a stab at thickening up those lines here (this is the sheet I
used to make the actual button in the photo):
http://terri.zone12.com/mailman-logo-buttonsheet.svg
I'd like to make a few of these for the GHC hackathon (Sat Oct 6th
8:30-4:30 North American Eastern Time, and we'll be on IRC if any of you
would like to join us!), but I'm currently despairing of managing to
produce some that are legible and attractive.

Hi there,
I've just pushed some small changes to mailman.client. So for everyone
taking part in tomorrow's Postorius hackathon: Make sure you have the
most recent revision of mailman.client installed. Otherwise Postorius is
not going to work fully with the recent version of the MM3 core.
Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow on #mailman!
Cheers
Florian
P.S.: @Barry: Is there a way to get the "list_id" property from a list
resource in the API? The JSON returned by /3.0/lists/<fqdn_listname>
doesn't seem to contain such a field. So in order to make mailman.client
work with 3.0b2, I simply used fqdn_listname and replaced the "@" with a
dot. Dirty, I know... But only a preliminary hack until I know how to
get the list_id from the API. ;-)
Hi Andrew,
We have online forum running using Mailman Software for posting member /
their queries and member registration management on Drupal based website
with MYSQL as database. Emails are moderated by Moderators.
In mailman we have an option of editing header of the email before posting
it finally on the forum.
Can Microsoft SharePoint give user option to edit email header and option
to post the final email to the forum by the Moderators.
Can Microsoft SharePoint do the following:
1) Member Management?
2) Editing Header of the email before its sent to the forum
3) Moderate emails (Deny, Approve or Discard)
4) Send Sign Up / Welcoming emails
Cheers, Murls

Hi Mailman developers,
I really want to get Mailman 3.0 final out in the next month or so, absolutely
definitely by the end of 2012. Clearly, the core won't have everything that
everyone wants but I think it will have quite a bit, and be a useful release
for people to start using in production.
In some ways, I view Mailman 3.0 in the same light as Python 3.0. It was
critical for that version to be released because the reality is that most
people won't test even a beta release. However, once Python 3.1 was released,
we stopped recommending and maintaining Python 3.0 and just encouraged
everyone to upgrade.
My biggest priority is to ensure that Mailman 3.0 is usable even without a web
ui, and that major projects such as Postorius and HyperKitty can continue
making good progress toward their own releases with 3.0.
To make it easier for me to understand your priorities and needs, I request
that anything you think is missing in Mailman 3 today be added as a bug in our
tracker: <http://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman>. You must add the 'mailman3' tag
to the bug and bump the importance up to Critical. In a week or so, I'll
start triaging the bugs and make my own assessments, and then anything marked
critical will be fixed before the final release. There will be no High bugs,
and everything else will be marked Low and postponed to Mailman 3.1.
In the bug comments, please add justifications or other information you think
will be useful to me while doing a final triage. Of course, priority always
goes to those bugs that have branches and merge proposals attached to them
(i.e. contributions welcome!).
Cheers,
-Barry

For what purpose exactly? I could be quite controversial here and say that in some usage scenarios SharePoint is a better fit than Mailman, but it depends on what your goals are now, what you want to do, and the people you have to work with.
Andrew.

First, GNU Mailman is free software, so you have the freedom to use it for any
purpose, to make whatever changes you want to suite your specific needs, and
to redistribute those changes to others, as long as you confer the same rights
along with your changes.
Second, these are two different tools with very different goals. Wikipedia
tells me that SharePoint is a large web application suite of tools, perhaps
one of those tools is a mailing list manager (I don't know).
GNU Mailman is solely focused on the task of managing mailing lists.
Especially with Mailman 3, it is designed to be easily integrated with other
tools, but in the best Unix tradition, it doesn't try to take over those
tasks.
Cheers,
-Barry
Dear Developers,
Need help on justifying Mailman is not outdated technology and how its
better than Microsoft Sharepoint.
Responses will be appreciated.

Currently, JSON is the only supported output format. I'd be open to patches
that provide other output formats.
