Google Summer of Code 2012

Mailman is hoping to be participating in the Google Summer of Code for the year 2012, probably under the banner of the Python Software Foundation, who were a wonderful umbrella organization to work with last year. This page is intended to group together all efforts related to the 2012 projects.

List of Projects

More ideas welcome – feel free to add ideas, or students can get in touch with us via mailman-developers@python.org to refine ideas and get help with their proposals.

Specific projects:

  • Scripts for migrating lists from Mailman 2.1 to Mailman 3 (including archives?)

  • Integration of (existing) search code into Mailman archives (existing search code)

  • Investigate Grackle as a new framework for the archiver.

  • NNTP access to the archives (a la Gmane)
  • Metrics
    • Collecting list metrics (when was the last thing posted, how many messages per month, how busy the list is, etc.)
    • Reporting via a pluggable dashboard
  • Mailman widgets (e.g. display of recent posts, embeddable list subscribe widget)
  • List styles (e.g. announcement list, anonymous list) plumbed through the ui and REST API.
  • Make it easier to report bugs – make a system that detects posts that are likely about bugs and searches, makes an easy link for reporting a bug using the text of the message, etc.
  • Build something to attach anti-spam stuff into the filter chains
  • Examine the interfaces (web interface, archives) and organize and build consistent CSS styles for the web UI
