FWIW I created python/overload-sig and added you all. Here's the tracker: https://github.com/python/overload-sig/issues -- please give it a try! (Oh, and start watching the repo please.) On Wed, Aug 17, 2016 at 2:29 AM, Stephen J. Turnbull < turnbull.stephen.fw@u.tsukuba.ac.jp> wrote:

Assuming we identify deficiencies in Mailman do we have the available resources and are they interested in fixing those things? I suspect the answer is “it depends”, but I think it’s something that is important to think about.
It's not an invalid concern, to be completely honest.
We have been quite successful in the recent past getting GSoC support, so I think that "warm bodies" won't be a problem, and the Django and webapp (eg GitHub) integration side of things gets a lot of proposals, though to be frank they have tended not to be very strong. I think if we had more specific project descriptions (the GitHub integration blurb was literally "better GitHub integration" :-P) we'd get better proposals.
Our biggest need IMHO is dedicated UI/UX experts.
Yes (isn't it every app's??), although users who bang hard on the UI combined with a flexible backend and developers who aren't afraid of refactoring the UI can go a long way.
Of course all that's blue sky at present. _______________________________________________ Overload-sig mailing list overload-sig@python.org Options: https://mail.python.org/mm3/mailman3/accounts/list- options/overload-sig.python.org/ Archives: https://mail.python.org/mm3/archives/list/overload-sig@ python.org/
