| Django distincts between ''projects'' and ''applications'' (a project being a website or a set of applications). One advantage of that is the possibility to make a django app reusable in other django projects/websites. Ideally people should be able to choose to either install the web ui as a stand-alone django project or to integrate the mailmanweb app into their existing django website. | Postorius is the main component of the administrative interface of Mailman 3.

| == REST Communication == The web UI communicates with Mailman over the REST server included in MM3. The request methods to acces the server are placed in a separate REST client module which will be used by the web ui. The idea is to make it really easy for other Python programs to import the module and talk to Mailman. |
