Hi,
As per public Gitlab stats for Mailman Core repo, 25 issues have been
closed in April so far, which is the record of the last 12 months and beats
the previous four months total.
From a merge requests perspective, it is the record too, and the merged
requests number pace is growing by ~15% over the last four months, reaching
a quarter of a hundred in April.
I know that it's just a month from the previous Mailman Core release, but
given the stats above should the next release be planned earlier than usual?
Best regards,
Danil Smirnov
Hi everyone,
I'm look for freelance developer who would like to work on mailman3 improvements. Any suggestions?
I want to invest in a range of improvements to the MM3 backend core plus the Postorius and HyperKitty interfaces. But this won't be me ;-) I'd like to work with a freelance developer who works with this community to develop contributions that actually make it into future releases.
This would happen over June-August and perhaps beyond. While I could just go out and find a python developer, me first choice would be to work with someone already in the community so I know they are familiar and committed to the platform beyond any paid work I can provide.
Anyone you can recommend? Are you interested? Just get in touch :-)
Duane
PS - if there is a better place to post let me know, but this seems like the place that is most relevent.
Hello everyone,
I am Quanwen Chen (the student being selected for this year's GSoC).
You can call me Steven, and I use `Steven1677` as my username on
GitLab.
I am really glad to be selected, and my project is the list
configuration tool. This tool is aimed at exporting/importing
configurations of one list, so to start the project, I will try to
figure out the database schema of mail lists first. Then some quick UI
prototypes in postorius can be made for getting the basic feeling
about the tool.
As scheduled in my proposal, I will try to finish these two things in
the community bonding period. However, I am taking exams in my
university until May 28th. Hence, the work progress in the first two
weeks of the community bonding period might be slow. But starting from
May 29th, I am able to devote more time on this project.
The focus of my working during the bonding period would be
1. figuring out what the tool should be in some kind of detail (make
sure I will build the right thing, can use quick UI prototypes to
validate)
2. getting more familiar with the database schema to support the
coding period work
I would like to thank two mentors: Stephen and Abhilash in advance for
mentoring my work this summer.
Regards,
Steven

Really no reason, the intent was to pick some options in that page and point to additional documentation for using other alternatives.
I will be more than happy to accept patches to add the documentation about alternatives like MySQL and Apache and other variations in the tech stack. Just add a new page under install/ and add a "Note" in the above page to point to it.
I had documented some time ago how to contribute to our documentation[1] and folks on this list would be happy to answer any questions regarding contribution too.
