[Mailman-Developers] GSoC 2013 ideas page

[Terri Oda]

First up, you're a bit early: we haven't even *applied* to be part of 
GSoC, let alone been accepted, and we're still at the point of trying to 
figure out what projects are feasible and what ones we have the 
necessary mentors for.

So what I'd suggest for you right now:

(1) Give us a week or two to refine those ideas before assuming they're 
actually suitable for a GSoC project and that we have the mentoring 
support necessary to do them.

That one, to be honest, may be too small to be a complete GSoC project 
in and of itself.  I expect it will have to be paired with a couple of 
other features before it'd be anywhere near 3 months of paid work.

(2) Given that you have experience with django, I'd like to encourage 
you to consider some of the bigger projects in the interface.   You've 
already done some bug fixes, why not try to tackle a full feature in 
Postorius?   There's going to be less competition from other students 
for the more complex projects and way more motivation on our part to get 
them completed, so it actually improves your chances of being selected 
as a student if you get yourself ready to handle one of those.
