[Mailman-Developers] Mailman Suite beta: what's left?

[Terri Oda]

Stephen, Florian and I had a nice discussion at the GSoC Mentor Summit 
about what's left before we can release a beta of the entire Mailman 
Suite (i.e. Mailman core, Postorius and Hyperkitty packaged together).  
We're getting close!  In fact, close enough that I'm going to suggest 
that we set a beta release target date of Dec 1st.

I know we had a list of 5 things... but for some reason I can't 
remember all of them.  Florian, Stephen, can you chime in?


1. Need a Postorius interface for associating multiple email addresses 
with a single account.  This is probably going to require either an 
email verification, so we might want to have that as part Mailman Core 
rather than doing it directly in Postorius.  Short term, I don't care 
how it's done as long as it verifies that the user actually has access 
to the addresses they link together.

2. Postorius & Hyperkitty need a bit more work on the authentication 
management.  Florian indicated that he's looking for some code review 
for the persona integration and that we'd really like a single sign on 
solution for postorius/hyperkitty to work together seamlessly.

3. We need some nice install scripts or packaging work so that 
installing Mailman Suite is easy.  Probably for beta purposes this can 
just be a shell script, but we also talked about doing a meta "Mailman 
Suite" PyPI package and maybe doing a .deb or .rpm as proof of concept.

Hopefully Florian and Stephen have better memories than I and can fill 
those in.  Everyone else: anything you know that needs to happen before 
we can get a Mailman Suite beta out?
