Hi Nikhil; apologies for the delayed response. It seems that with travel and holidays, this message got buried in my inbox. I see that you have some interest in Core issue #300. Have you spent time since then looking at how REST works in Core? Do you have any additional questions? We're winding down development on 3.1 so this would be targeted for 3.2. We can discuss further on the specific issue, but if you have any general questions, this is the place to ask! Cheers, -Barry

Reg: Postorius Issue 127
by Siddhartha Gairola 07 Jan '17

I was going through the postorius code. So this is what we have to implement for postorius - "if the post is from a moderated member, the moderator has a checkbox to clear the member's moderation when accepting the post." But I am not too sure how to get this done. I guess it would require modifying some controller. If I could get some assistance on this, I would be grateful. Thank you. Regards, Siddhartha

It's true, we haven't yet decided if we're going to participate in GSoC this year, but we of course still would still welcome your contributions. If you're into web development, both Postorius and HyperKitty are great places to start. There's no web front-end work in the Core, but there's still interesting things to do there. I'm hoping that we're winding down toward a 3.1 release now though. Cheers, -Barry

You start by starting. ;-) "Claiming" the issue and posting here was a good start. :-) First, check with Nitish Kumar Dwivedi (https://gitlab.com/nitishkd) that s/he is not currently working on the issue to ensure no conflict over your contribution.[1] You don't need to wait for an answer to start working; it won't be useless duplication for a couple more steps. Now tell me[2] what you think you should do next. (Coding != developing. Developers are engineers who solve problems. We will help you when you get stuck, but you have to solve the problem. Don't worry, we'll wait. :-) Steve Footnotes: [1] No, 7 months silence != issue abandoned. Conflicts over credit are rare in Mailman; we are a pretty flexible, friendly and conscientious group in that respect. On the other hand, we do care about keeping each other in the loop. And it's possible that Nitish has a nearly complete solution in a private branch. If so, your work would likely be redundant -- if Nitish is in no hurry to work on it, try negotiating for joint credit: get that branch MR'ed, and then do the remaining work to integrate. [2] On the issue or on this list -- I will IGNORE personal mail if it doesn't have a reference to a public channel!! so check your headers before sending mail, this list does NOT munge Reply-To. I've assigned the issue to myself so I will get notifications.

Hi everyone! I've already setup the mailman components and started to contribute in some of the bugs in Postorius. But recently, I get to know that Mailman may not be accepting projects based on Postorius. So, In what other Mailman component I should try contributing. I know some web-development, Python and of course Django. And yeah! this is my first time with open-source contributions, So I would be obliged to get your help.
