Nice to meet you, Aditya! I'm the main DMARC/IETF wrangler for Mailman, and I would be the main mentor for the ARC project. > I want to work on the project "Implement module to process ARC > headers". I have begun reading about RFC a bit. That's a good start. If you have questions, feel free to ask. For general questions that are mostly about "how do I hook code into Mailman" or about GSoC, please ask on this list. Not only will you get better and quicker answers, but the questions and answers will benefit other developers too. For questions about ARC, you can write me directly or the list, as you feel comfortable. Or once you start to get the feel of things you may try to ask on the ARC list. However, IEFT lists are probably very different from anything you've participated in before. High stakes are involved (there are people with millions of dollars invested in servers there) and people can be a little terse. Not to mention the vocabulary will likely be new to you. The next thing to do would be to join the ARC mailing list and lurk: To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://lists.dmarc.org/mailman/listinfo/arc-discuss or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to arc-discuss-requ...@dmarc.org Right now it's low-traffic. It's a Mailman list. I subscribed with the digest, and get maybe one a week. > Please help me get started in the right direction and if possible > share some timeline goals. Well, the main timeline goal would be to get done in time for the live test of implementations being held by the DMARC folks -- on Feb 19. So I guess that's not going to happen! It is my belief that a full implementation (with bugs still in it) can easily be done in a summer starting from a reasonable amount of programming skill in Python. If you're better than average it will probably be integratable into Mailman and ready for participating with other implementations on the Internet at the end of the summer. With that in mind, please read How to SPAM (http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp/Blog/SPAM.txt) and other general information about GSoC proposals at http://wiki.list.org/DEV/Google%20Summer%20of%20Code%202016. Then write something up. Pretty much anything. It doesn't have to be complete, it just needs to demonstrate you've thought for a few minutes about what you think you need to do. Yes, this is pretty sketchy. If you're going to work with me, you need to accept that I'm going expect you to try something plausible before I tell you what I expect. I'm not a complete curmudgeon about it, but I have found that it is a good way to work for me. Regards, and happy hacking!
