Hey Everyone, I have been trying to document how to propose changes to the Mailman documentation, which is hosted on ReadTheDocs. Right now, I think i have the complete flow in Gitlab documented in this page[1] and how to reach Gitlab from any page in documentation. I am sure there could be some parts that aren’t completely obvious to others. If you think I have missed a few steps or if there are issues in the doc, please feel free to reply on this thread or just open issues directly in Gitlab project[2] for documentation at docs.mailman3.org. [1]: https://docs.mailman3.org/en/latest/documentation.html [2]: https://gitlab.com/mailman/mailman-suite-doc/-/issues Hope this is helpful! -- thanks, Abhilash Raj (maxking)

GNU Mailman has been accepted in Summer of Code!

Just to let everyone know. [Cc'd to Mailman 3 Users, but please direct followups to the Mailman Developers list only!] GSoC "who we are" page is here: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/4903353420611584/ Ideas page is here: https://wiki.list.org/DEV/Google%20Summer%20of%20Code%202021 Student applications open on March 30, and continue until April 13 18:00 UTC. Comments, ideas, etc welcome on Mailman Developers (preferred) or directly to me or Abhilash. Please do NOT edit the ideas page on the wiki without discussing with me, Abhilash, or Mark, as Google has strict rules about what ideas are relevant to their program. If you have been active in GSoC and do understand the rules, the discussion will be "pro forma", but at least we do want to know what we might be asked about as potential mentors. We can add more mentors, definitely, you're welcome. If you can reliably spend about 5 hours per week on it for the summer, we'll sign you up as a regular mentor. If you'd like to interact regularly with students, but can't promise 5 hours a week, we can negotiate a semi-formal status (but you won't get the privileges of a full mentor, like the T-shirt). Otherwise, we'll try to keep discussions on the list, everybody welcome. Regards, Steve

HyperKitty seems to produce non-conforming long lines
by Stephen J. Turnbull 08 Mar '21

For example, https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/message/NAH2R… As I received it, some lines actually exceeded the SMTP hard limit of 998 characters (excluding the separating CRLF). There are several alternative approaches; I think the best is to leave the logical lines alone, and break the physical lines with format=flowed. Issue #341 filed. https://gitlab.com/mailman/hyperkitty/-/issues/341
