= REST Client =

Mailman 3 REST Clients will provide an user interface to interact with the Mailman 3 RESTserver. Their frontend may use any technology as long as they are able to transform user interaction into RESTful communication.

All clients should conform to [[../global requirements|global requirements]] to provide a consistent user interface so users can focus on their task without having to learn the interface before they can start.

== User Interfaces ==

RESTful capable user interface technologies that come to mind are:

 * [[../A standalone Website|standalone Website]]
 * [[../Web Interface|Django Based WebApp]]
 * A website-plugin for a WCMS
 * JAVA
 * Flash
 * QT

== Proposed Changes ==

Changes from MM 2 to MM3 in the client should be:

 * Simplify interface
 * Focus on Tasks
 * Order and sort by Task recurrance
 * Reduce information overflow e.g. by hiding help messages
 * Show help messages as bubbles when selected by user
 * Remove Instructions on using a web from
 * Use default button texts e.g. "Save" instead of "Submit your changes"
