Hi, I am an undergrad computer science student at manipal institute of technology, india and a prospective gsoc 2013 participant. I have a nice experience in django,bootstrap, jquery and json which i got during my previous internship.

I really liked most of the mailman project ideas and started working on one of them today. As i know, there is a tradition of fixing a bug to get into any open source organization. So i worked for few hours on https://bugs.launchpad.net/postorius/+bug/1066184 today. Now user can edit his first_name and last_name. There are few problems that i faced and want to discuss with core developers:

1. There is no model class which derives the base User class, to store values like twitter_id, irc_nick etc. (Should i create one ?)
2. Can username be changed ?

The changes i have done today:

1. first_name and last_name can be edited and saved using jquery

Changes that i am planning to do tomorrow:

1. Add bootstrap timeout alert on change() and save
2. add model entry for irc_nick,website and twitter_id

I have already submitted the merge request.

Hope you guys will look into my code and correct my mistakes.

Thanks Varun Sharma
