Some of last year's page will totally be valid, for sure! But there have definitely been changes, and some old ideas that no one's gotten excited about will likely be rotated out. One big change is the switch to gitlab, which means some of our instructions have to change and it even affects some of the projects (there's one up there now for GitLab integration that used to be described as primarily about GitHub integration!)

GSoC 2016 wiki page now up!

I set up an initial page for GSoC 2016 with Mailman: http://wiki.list.org/DEV/Google_Summer_of_Code_2016 Students: Please take a look at the page and let us know if it has the information you're looking for, other than project ideas (those are coming!) Mentors: I put my name at the bottom so students know who to bug on IRC or expect to hear from on the mailing lists, feel free to add your own! Mentors and community members: Is anyone interested in doing a brainstorming session for project ideas this weekend? I'm thinking around 10-11am Pacific US on Sunday, which would be early evening for the Europeans (7pm in Germany) and early afternoon (1pm) for the US Eastern folk. It's terrible for Japan and India, but we can do two brainstorming sessions or you can try to get me to wake up earlier. ;) Terri

Even if somebody else is working on it, they may appreciate the help. Even if they are but don't want help, you can try yourself (but of course competing implementations means yours is less likely to actually get integrated). Now that you have posted here, I would recommend getting to work unless you have an alternative project you would prefer to work on. Remember, at this stage you'll spend most of your time learning about Mailman, and your code is likely to get a lot of suggestions for improvement, so you won't be making much in the way of wasted effort even if you end up abandoning this particular project for whatever reason at an early stage. While digging into the code, you may also find a more interesting (to you) project before GSoC opens, or you may find that to do the profile page project you need to add basic facilities, and do that for GSoC. Don't commit yourself to a specific project for GSoC yet. The next thing to do is to check the tracker. I found these: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman/issues/62 https://gitlab.com/mailman/postorius/issues/5 Neither seems to suggest that anybody is actually working on this project. Note that the issues are titled "User Profile Pages" rather than "Subscriber Profile Pages" -- searching for appropriate issues is an art. Don't kill yourself trying to do an exhaustive search or coming up with the perfect keywords. If you decide to work on this, come up with a summary of what *you* want to do (it may help to refer to the existing issue descriptions), and post it as an RFE (request for enhancement), most likely on the Postorius tracker. That will allow others interested in the project (both potential users and developers) to find you. Mention that you are working on the project, and link to the existing issues. A bit of advice: I tend to disagree with Our Fearless Leader: I think there's more of a role for "core" in this. Specifically, discoverability of resources. Resources are spread across the three main components, and the list archives at least will have multiple implementations in common use. Steve
