Mailman 3 March 2015 - Mailman-Developers

GSOC 2015 :Mailman Client written in Javascript
by Abhishek Kumar 03 Mar '15

03 Mar '15

Hi, I am Abhishek and am interested in the participating in GSOC with the org. I am good at data-structures and algorithms and have worked with C, C++, Javascript, Python and PHP. I have an internship experience at Microsoft, India I took a look at the documentation of the current mailman client. So basically we want a JavaScript implementation for the examples described in the link mailmanclient /docs/using.rst <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman.client/trunk/view/head:…>. right..? Please let me what should be my initial steps towards applying for this project. I guess i need to first collect an exhaustive list of the functionality that the new client will have. Also is there any other thing that i need to get myself acquainted with..? -- Thanks, Abhishek Kumar

You can ignore the SyntaxErrors. They're generated on scripts that haven't been ported to Python 3 because they're essentially obsolete. I should move them out of the main tree (I don't want to delete them yet). >I am behind proxy. Please help me with this. That's you're real problem. You need to be able to access PyPI to download the dependencies, or make sure they are installed by your OS package manager. If you do the latter, you will have to tell virtualenv to use the system packages: * `virtualenv --system-site-packages` when you create the venv * Uncomment the `sitepackages=True` line in the tox.ini Cheers, -Barry

Hello people, I guess you guys might be busy. I am unable to figure out this issue yet, can anyone help ?

GSOC 2015: Message queue based email archiver
by Andrew Stuart 02 Mar '15

02 Mar '15

The wiki says: >>>Hyperkitty is mailman's official archiver, however it would be a good idea to add an alternative to it based on message queues, either publish-subscribe or a fifo message queue. Florian/Aurelien, I’m curious to understand what would be the benefit of message queue based archiving and how do you see such a thing working? Is there some problem with the existing archiving that this would solve? thanks as
