I'm probably pretty useless about any GSoC specific questions. To the extent that I have any use at all, I am happy to discuss any technical detail about Mailman 3. In general, I prefer email, since I can usually block out some time to answer detailed questions, and the mailing list archives are a wonderful historical resource. I highly advise students to mine them, either via the mail.python.org interface, or my favorite, the Gmane NNTP interface (newsgroup: gmane.mail.mailman.devel). Pinging me on IRC (barry @ freenode: #mailman) is fine. I'm almost always online during weekdays approximately UTC 1300 - 2200 (we're in DST), but only a ping will get my attention. Don't be put off if I encourage you to take your questions to the mailing list. If I think the answer would be of general use to the developer community, that's often a better place than on an IRC channel only a small number of people participate in, and for which no good search options exist. Please be a little patient while waiting for me to respond. Steve's right, I'm crazy busy. But if you don't hear from me within 4 or 5 days, a polite ping can help me switch contexts.
