[Mailman-Developers] Introductory mail

Also test suite would be interesting work to couple with all this. I would like to know if these 2 projects can be coupled for this year's work or not? If you think of them as two projects, then they probably are. As a mentor, I won't touch that -- most students have enough trouble just getting started on *one* project. Also, note that projects that are just adding to a test suite are not eligible for Google support. Apart from that I also found few bugs while setting up env which was mainly due to (var) folder creation while running mailman server from different locatin serving various instances. It seems unless I do it from path/to/mailman it returns an error. I will go through the code in over next few weeks and till then I can expect a reply for above projects. You should go over the mailing list archives first. var folder creation was discussed extensively a couple of months ago. In general, if you're going to propose a project not on our list for *this year* (which hasn't been published yet), it is usually helpful to review the past two year's threads on the mailing lists (both mailman-developers and mailman-users) to get an idea of what the current needs are considered to be, and what things the developers are addressing already. ___ 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

It is not decided yet, but it is expected that postorius and hyperkitty would be ported to be bilingual by this year's pycon. I suggest you look for other project, the list on the wiki will be updated soon.

It seems unless I do it from path/to/mailman it returns an error. I will go through the code in over next few weeks and till then I can expect a reply for above projects. The var folder creation in the currect directory is a design pattern built for developers. So if mailman does not see any working instance of itself in the current directory it starts a new instance with `var` directory in the new location. You can change this behavior in mailman.cfg, look src/mailman/config/mailman.cfg for [paths.*] sections.
