Greetings, I am Aayush Maini, a student of IIIT-H and I would like to propose an idea for GSOC 2016, under The GNU Mailman. I have got the build working and submitted a patch for Postorius currently pending for review. I have worked on mailman core and have a decent understanding of Postorius too.
The basic proposal goes along viz. "Making the services offered by the Postorius available via a browser extension/plugin". I thought it would be nice to have the functionality offered by the Postorius clubbed into a user friendly browser plugin. The main highlights of the plugin could include: --> User Authentication for identity verification. --> Managing/Moderating the subscription requests. --> Managing preferences related to a list. --> Support for adding owners/moderators. * The class of users who would be largely benefited from the browser plugin would be the list owners and moderators. * The main purpose of the browser plugin would be to provide the functionality of the web interface via the compactness of the plugin. * The job of managing the preferences related to a list(s) can be done via a plugin. * Provide the list owner a functionality, to manage the subscriptions quite easily with minimal number of clicks. This was just a basic layout of the idea on which I thought the project could be built. I would be glad to discuss the specifications and some extensions that could be later added based on the review. It would be real help if someone could guide me on along the lines of this idea. Thanks.
