This is an interesting idea, but Postorius already does all this. More important, although presently user *authentication* is done via social auth services (Persona, OpenAuth), *authorization* is done by Postorius itself on the Mailman server host, not by Mailman core. Given that you have to go through Postorius in any case, what benefit do you see from doing it in a browser plugin? I can think of some possibilities myself, but I'm not very familiar with browser plugin technology, and worry that it would be browser- specific (and so not be available to many potential users, unlike Postorius itself which is pretty much universally accessible). In any case, promoting your project is your job<wink/>. But if you give us some ideas, we can help you understand if they're feasible, and maybe pick up and run with some of the vaguer ones you propose (yes, "vague" is acceptable at this stage -- refining ideas is very much something you can learn effectively from a mentor). _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list Mailman-Developers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
