Re: [Mailman-Developers] Like to participate in GSOC 2013 (GNU Mailman) - Like some ideas proposed in the list (Django, Python)

Actually, I am on Windows. setting up Mailman is a problem for me.. need time for that.
Ouch. Do you have access to a VM hypervisor so you can run Linux inside of Windows? If so, the shortest path home is likely to be installing Ubuntu there.
Otherwise, we'll help as we can, but I doubt any of the mentors are using that environment. It's likely to be somewhat painful in the long run as well, as Barry has indicated that he really wants Mailman 3 to be a Python 3 application.
I don't want to discourage you. But please be realistic about your choice of environment.
Here's a brain bubble for you:

Ooh, tasty! How about a Mailman Raspberry Pi?
Seriously, Barry, ya think it's possible?
This would solve the environment problem for students! Dunno if it's strictly better than an AWS instance, but I bet many would prefer it.

I *do* have an older fedora vm set up for postorius work, which can be run from vmware on windows. It hasn't been updated since the GHC13 codeathon (fall 2012), but if anyone needs it to play with, I can put it somewhere accessible. It isn't set up to deliver email, but it shouldn't be impossible to set it up if someone needs it.

I guess setting up a VM works for now..(will do it).. I am quite familiar with Ubuntu (had used ver 8 for an year).. These days, the linux kernel is showing some power regression issues which is making me to use windows..
Since no one had so far configured mailman on windows, I guess, I can try it (not now but.. later on). Why not we build an executable for windows (.exe) for users to install? This could take sometime to port and solve conflicts.. but at the end, it would be superb.

It's a very cool idea! I'll have to steal mine back away from my son to give that a try. :)
