Every project should have one -- and only one. :-) And in terms of Python skills necessary, this project *is* beginner- friendly.

First you should do a local setup and make sure everything is working as expected, since you are new to Mailman it will take some time to setup. > I am a intermediate python developer, have worked on couple of small > projects but haven't done any open source contribution yet. That is great, intermediate knowledge of python is sufficient to get you started, Once you are through the setup, start organizing your thoughts and decide which part of mailman are you comfortable with and then look for aligned projects. Don't jump the gun yet, it might be the case that you find a perfect project among the listed ones or you won't find anything at all, be it either case you should start looking into beginner level bugs and try to fix them. In the mean time get in touch with other devs on the mailing list or IRC, you can certainly propose new projects and admins will help you decide if they can be a part of GSoC pipeline or not. All the best! > > Thanks, > Vatsal Parekh. > _______________________________________________ > Mailman-Developers mailing list > Mailman-Developers(a)python.org > https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers > Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 > Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ > Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/godricglow%40gma… > > Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9

Hey Devs, I was going through the list of projects for GSOC '16, and mailman seemed interesting. Though i read the FAQs, can anyone please guide me about how to get started? there are a lot of projects, contribution, application and all... what should be the first step to follow for me? I am a intermediate python developer, have worked on couple of small projects but haven't done any open source contribution yet. Thanks, Vatsal Parekh.

Mailman 2.1.21 Final Release
by Mark Sapiro 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

Please ignore the spurious, fumble fingered post of a few minutes ago. I am pleased to announce the release of Mailman 2.1.21. Python 2.4 is the minimum supported, but Python 2.7 is strongly recommended. This release includes a few new features and several bug fixes. Most of the changes since the second release candidate are i18n updates, but there are a few more bug fixes. See the attached README for details. Mailman is free software for managing email mailing lists and e-newsletters. Mailman is used for all the python.org and SourceForge.net mailing lists, as well as at hundreds of other sites. For more information, please see our web site at one of: http://www.list.org http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman http://mailman.sourceforge.net/ http://mirror.list.org/ Mailman 2.1.21 can be downloaded from https://launchpad.net/mailman/2.1/ http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mailman/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/mailman/ -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Resuming mailman contribution
by Pranjal Yadav 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

Hello all, For those who don't know me, I was a part of GSoC 2015 with Mailman, I worked on the dynamic sublists aka dlist project. Terri and Steve mentored me for this project and except for the timezone issue, I felt the mentorship was one of the best experiences I have had in past few years, Also Barry and Florian constantly helped me enhance my knowledge about mm3, In totality it was a great experience. By the end of my project I started with my first job and it was quite a hassle for few months, as soon as I was about to settle I got a better opportunity and I switched. So long story short I'm finally getting back after 6 months and its a wonderful feeling. I will take some time and resume the additional pieces that I missed in my project, I'm more than happy to assist new GSoC applicants and share my knowledge about Mailman core. I will try my best to answer your questions. @Abhilash: Lets get in touch whenever you are free.
