Hello all,

I am Xiongzhi Gao, a student from Wuhan University in China.

This is the first time I participate in GSoC. I study Information Security
in the university. I like to use Python and Node.js to develope some small
tools
and web project. You can found some projects in my Github account[1]. And I
have
a great interest in the idea of `Mailman command line client`.

I have some questions about it:

1. I found there is a moudle named `Commands` in the sources of the
Mailman.
I gave it a quick reading and found there has been some basic operation of
the
Mailman. Is the goal of this project making the extension for `Commands`
moudle?
2. What is the version of Python I could use in this project? I saw
the Mailman is working torward supporting Python 3. And could I use
python-future
to make the code work in both Python2 and Python3?
3. I saw one of the goals of this project is to create backups. I think only
store the backups in users' computer is not safe. Could I develope a
feature to
use some file hosting services(like Dropbox) to sync the backups
automatically
when users create backups?

Thanks:)
