[Mailman-Developers] GSOC 2013 : Authenticated REST-API in Postorius/Django

[Richard Wackerbarth]

Welcome to our community,

I'm happy to see that you are interested in the REST interfaces.
In addition to TastyPie, I suggest that you also look at django-rest-framework.
Please compare the two and let us know what you see as the advantages and disadvantages of each.
