Hello all,

I am Xiongzhi Gao, a student from Wuhan University in China.

This is the first time I participate in GSoC. I study Information Security in the university. I like to use Python and Node.js to develope some small tools and web project. You can found some projects in my Github account[1]. And I have a great interest in the idea of Mailman command line client.

I have some questions about it:

1. I found there is a moudle named Commands in the sources of the Mailman. I gave it a quick reading and found there has been some basic operation of the Mailman. Is the goal of this project making the extension for Commands moudle?
2. What is the version of Python I could use in this project? I saw the Mailman is working torward supporting Python 3. And could I use python-future to make the code work in both Python2 and Python3?
3. I saw one of the goals of this project is to create backups. I think only store the backups in users' computer is not safe. Could I develope a feature to use some file hosting services(like Dropbox) to sync the backups automatically when users create backups?

Thanks:)
