Hi, I'm Karthikeya , a 2nd year undergrad from IIT Madras in Chennai, India.

I'd like to take up a Mailman project as a part of GSOC 2013. I set up Mailman 3 and started tinkering with a couple of bugs . Hope to come up with something useful soon.

I went through the ideas list, and some ideas seemed interesting. In no particular order,

1. RSS , NNTP access to the archives The ideas page mentions a previous GSOC project on this. I've not been able to find it , so could someone please direct me to it?

2. Full anonymization This seems straightforward, so is there something else that can be added to it? Like enabling the hashing option for other lists in which anonymization is allowed?

3. No logging This seems a very interesting project, and something a mail archive should have. But I'm not very familiar with the laws that concern subpoena with respect to archived communication. Can someone please elaborate on this?

4. Web Posting Interface I've had experience in designing a forum structure before, and this seems a really great addition to Mailman.

I also have a couple of ideas of my own, and I'd like to see how feasible they are. the entire list and save the pages manually.

1. Tags: Could we have tags for mails so we could get an idea for what the mail is about at a glance? This could also help in the metrics and also in spam reduction . ( As in undesired mails )
2. Better filters for archive download: Give users the option to download specific threads of an archive , or all contributions by a specific user or all threads with a keyword. Last time I had to do it, I had to iterate over

I have experience at programming in a wide variety of languages . I've had to set up mailman 2 for our department lists and manage them. I've worked primarily as a web designer using HTML, PHP and Django. I've longed to work on an open source project and these are my first steps at contributing to a large one.

Tl;Dr :- Just another mail by a GSOC hopeful. Bit long, yes.

Thank you. Karthikeya Viswanath
