Re: [Mailman-Developers] GSOC Project idea: OpenPGP integration

Can you tell about who is going to mentor this(OpenPGP integration with mailman)
I would guess the official mentors are likely to be myself and Wacky (Richard Wackerbarth). Joost isn't official (why not? -- you get a T-shirt! :-) but he has expressed interest and offered help.
Lack of a secure through-the-mail channel for several aspects of Mailman is a pain point for many users, though, so I suspect there will be a lot of interest (including suggestions and even code contributions) from non-mentors. I strongly suggest that you keep the discussion on this list for that reason.
I will also try to be available on IRC Freenode #mailman as yaseppochi for the next two days (more or less 1am to 1pm UTC), and intermittently after that. Other mentors will probably be there, too.
so that I can discuss a few things about the application? Also others can you please give me a few suggestion about proposal on the idea that is discussed in this1 thread.
Thanks,

neat, i'm glad to hear it!
Be aware however: it's not an easy task, as Daniel Kahn Gillmor pointed out.
I'm not sure about the scope of your project but you may want to review some prior efforts:
http://schleuder2.nadir.org/ http://www.synacklabs.net/projects/crypt-ml/
see also:
http://non-gnu.uvt.nl/mailman-pgp-smime/ http://sels.ncsa.illinois.edu/
My pet favourite feature from the lurker mail archiver is showing photos from OpenPGP keys in the archive pages.
Thanks for these links. I am currently going through these projects to figure out the implementation part of the OpenPGP into mailman. Also trying to use the mailman-php-smime patch to figure out how it is implemented.
The Mailman Secure List Server Patch hasn't been touched since 2010-09. It's a patch for mailman-2.1.15, not for the development branch. However, studying it will surely give you some inspiration. Some code might be reusable too.
If you'd like to discuss details of this patch, you're invited to join the list at ssls-dev@ulm.ccc.de.
I'd be glad to help you dealing with the work.
Bye,
Joost

I echo Stephen's comments. Although I try to lurk on the #mailman channel most of the time, being half a world away from him, I am most likely to be at the keyboard after 1100 UTC and before 0200 UTC.
However, I strongly suggest that you begin more specific questions on this mailing list.

We chatted on #mailman a few days ago, and hopefully it was helpful.
In general I'm always on #mailman during working hours UTC-4 (currently), but you will have to ping my nick to get my attention. See the channel topic for details.
