Interested Google Summer of Code Student
Hello, I'm a high school senior from Rhode Island. I'm interested in working on Mail Man for the Google Summer of Code. I was wondering where I would best be able to help out. I had looked on the ideas list http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2011/Mailman and I think I would be able to do the most with completing the Django web u/i.
I have some experience with Django (as a personal project I'm working on a web application that analyzes cross country results). So this seems like the best area for me, but if anyone else knows of any opportunities I'd love to hear about them.
I also don't have any experience with mailing lists. I did some research on proper etiquette but if I brake any social rules I truly apologize.

Hi Matthew. I'm sorry for the delay in responding; I always fall so far behind email during Pycon.

Not at all. mailman-developers is exactly the right place to discuss GSoC. We've had some discussions off-line about the program and how we'll mentor it, and it's time to start bring those discussions public.
Working on the Django web ui is definitely a core task for GSoC this year. Last year Anna did some great work on it, and I think we're in a great position to finish this up, and do more real-world testing with the REST API in the engine.
In the next few days I should be filling out a wiki page on wiki.list.org for our 2011 GSoC participation, which will be under PSF sponsorship. I'd be very happy for you to participate. I registered as a mentor just this morning, and I know Florian will mentor again this year too. You're welcome to email here or ping me on irc.freenode.net #mailman.
I'll send a follow up when the wiki page is up and running. It'll be linked to from the Python GSoC page.
Cheers, -Barry
Hi Matthew,
Hello, I'm a high school senior from Rhode Island. I'm interested in working on Mail Man for the Google Summer of Code. I was wondering where I would best be able to help out. I had looked on the ideas listhttp://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode/2011/Mailman and I think I would be able to do the most with completing the Django web u/i. That sounds great! If you like you can check out some of last year's code on launchpad:
https://launchpad.net/~mailmanweb-django
There's also a python library which makes communicating with Mailman's API pretty easy:
https://launchpad.net/mailman.client
If you're still interested I'd be happy to give you a walk through the code. Just email me or ping me on irc! (#mailman on irc.freenode.net)

When mailman3 will be released? I'm interesting in coding a dynamic archive software, I already made base one using django for mailman 2 with some hacks (you can look there: http://archives.rezo.net/ ).
My purpose is to create a software that can manager users, and permit them to respond to emails, read private archives, set email aliases(if they use multiple e-mails in differents lists hosted), and some "social" features, like setting an avatar.
Please contact me if someone is interested too,
Bests,

The snarky answer is "real soon now" ;) We've been in alpha for a while. The proposed Google summer of code project include some things we need before release, including a push on the web interface. Barry can maybe give you a better estimate, but I don't think we're expecting a final release until after GSoC is over for this year. But maybe we'll have such amazing students that an earlier release will be possible!

This sounds really great! You may find that some of those features, like setting email aliases, might be better packaged up with the other interface work for user settings, but I'm sure if you start with the archives themselves you'll find plenty to do and hopefully you'll get to the more social pieces later on.
Could you look over the use cases developed for the Systers archive project last year and tell us a bit about what other use cases you think would be important for the archives project, or how you'd prioritize the ones we already have?

There's not really a right or wrong answer for this question -- I just want to get more of an idea of how you're thinking about archives and how you expect them to be used!
