If you're looking for suggestions, I'd suggest you focus on the anti-spam stuff. We've all gotten pretty hooked on Mozilla Persona for authentication, to the point where we may not bother with other authentication methods in the early releases, so the spam stuff is much more likely to be useful soon!

Also, we're still sprinting at PyCon today and tomorrow, so if you're already set up, now's a great time to hang out in IRC while all the devs are focusing on writing code.

Hello.

I'm interested in Participating in Google Summer of Code 2013 and have been searching for good projects in Python. Thought I'd drop by and introduce myself. :)

I'm a 22 years old CS student, and have worked been working in Python for the past year or so, primarily web stuff in Flask/Django.

2 projects in particular caught my eye and I hope to work on either one of them with Mailman this summer. :)

• The first is the Alternative authentication possibilities - as I've worked on OAuth integration with Facebook/Twitter in a few Flask applications.

• The second is the Anti-spam/anti-abuse in Mailman - I admit I don't know much about how anti-spam techniques work, but that's preciously why I'm interested in working on this one, so I can learn new things. :)

I've set up a basic virtualenv with Mailman and will be going through the code in the next few days (lots of code!).

Thanks!
