Google Summer of Code
Hello, my name is Andrew Rodman and I'm a college student looking to get involved in your Mailman mailing list manager through Google's Summer of Code. This is my first year investigating the program and I'm unsure about the steps I need to take to apply for this project. I'm assuming I need to write a project proposal but I'm not entirely sure where to start my research for this application. Would you mind pointing me in the right direction?
Thank you, Andrew Rodman

Hi Andrew, we'd love to have you as a student this year. What areas are you interested in working on? We have some great mentors this year, so depending on what you're interested in, we can make sure you get paired up with the right person. Do you want to work on GUI stuff, engine stuff, the archiver, REST API, or something else?
Don't forget, many of us are on IRC, so if you want to have a higher bandwidth discussion, we're on #mailman on freenode. I'm always here during working hours in US/Eastern time. My nick is 'barry', and please do ping me if you want to chat (I on so many channels, it's difficult to track them all ;).
Cheers, -Barry

A good place to start would be the ideas page in the Mailman wiki:
http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Google+Summer+of+Code+2011
If you find something that interests you I think it would be best to share your thoughts with one (or more?) of the Mentors before you apply directly talking to one of us on IRC. We're always happy to discuss
- either by posting/subscribing to mailman-developers@python.org, or by
ideas, plans, concerns,... and then find the right mentor for your project.
For the technical part: Mailman is registered under the umbrella of the Python Software Foundation, so the place to file your application would be the PSF's SoC page:
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2011/python
You can also find an application template there with the most basic information needed to apply.
So... That's it for a start, I guess. My nick on IRC (#mailman on freenode.net) is florianf. Feel free to ping me if you have any further questions! (I'm UTC +2 hours, usually online during work hours.)
Cheers Florian
