Mailman Developer Resources

Source code revision control

Mailman's source code is published in publically available revision control systems. You can use this to gain access to the very latest development trees. We are currently in the process of moving from Subversion on SourceForge to the Bazaar distributed revision control system, with branches hosted on Launchpad. Flag day is June 22, 2007, after which the Subversion repository will be made read-only (we'll keep it for posterity). Hosting the source code on Bazaar will provide both the core developers and unofficial third party extensions much more freedom to hack on Mailman.

Here is more detail on how to develop Mailman code using Bazaar and Launchpad.

Here are a list of important official and unofficial branches.

Versions specific resources

Here are the collection of resources for people interested in the development of Mailman.

Initiatives and proposals

Other developer information

Google did a 2006 Summer of Codeprogram in 2006, and Mailman was a sponsor. See the Summer of Code page and Mailman 2.2 page for more information.

Mailman is a GNU project with the majority of the copyrights being held by the Free Software Foundation. We therefore request that developers who contribute code, assign their copyrights in their Mailman contribution to the FSF. To do this, you first need to submit a GNU copyright assignment request form containing some basic information, and then fill out the form that the FSF sends you. Please let us knowafter you've sent the second form so that we can track your contribution. The FSF often doesn't tell us in a timely manner when such forms have been received.
