Hello,
I went through the project ideas page of the GNU Mailman's page for GSoD'19 thoroughly and am interested in working on improving the Developers' Documentation for Postorius and Hyperkitty. I also went through the responsibilities mentioned by Steve and have few doubts.
Is there any user guide/support page on how to use the mailing list explaining all the features of Postorius and Hyperkitty? For example, how to manage subscription, how to manage lists. what does activity summary means, what does the graph represents, what do the different roles represent, what is the difference between an owner, a moderator and a member. Being new to mailing list, I feel that people may face these issues and having a proper documentation on how to properly utilize the platform will be a great win.
During my GSoC days, I failed several issues while setting up the project locally on my machine. It became very difficult to test everything from end to end. And I feel that there should be documentation on how to test the complete application from end to end. For example, I faced difficulty in configuring Mailman to Hyperkitty or how to inject a mail to a thread in Mailman3 and had to go through many discussions to get it running. It took many days to get everything running on the web interface. I feel that we should go through the mail archives of last few years GSoC season and should work on those areas where most of the developers felt difficulty.
Let me know your inputs.
Thanks, Aditi
