Re: [Mailman-Developers] [GSoC 2012] Candidate on 'Integration of (existing) search code into Mailman archives'
2012/4/3 Terri Oda te...@zone12.com: Hi George, Your MailmanStats project looks great and would totally fit with what we have in mind for stats, though I'm guessing the hyperkitty team has some much more extensive work in mind making use of post ratings, tags, etc. If you're putting together your proposal now, do feel free to mention both projects as sources of interest. Since you already have the stats code available, it might be possible to toss the integration in there after doing some other work. Normally I worry about students biting off more than they can chew, but given your prior experience with Mailman and the fact that you already have the basic code, you can make a case for being able to package up that code and contribute it in a week or two our of your summer if you're ready for a code review. Terri PS - For further advice regarding search projects, see my previous post to mailman-developers. Thanks for your respond Terri, I thought about it quite a lot. Eventually, I think it is better to implement only the Metric idea (since i already have the base code) by integrating my software into Mailman. My previous experience with Mailman and the fact i have done some work already will make a more awesome result. I'll send my proposal in the next hours. I'll appreciate any feedback.

The idea that excites me more is the 'Integration of (existing) search code into Mailman archives'. I think it is better to be developed on Mailman v3 rather than v2. I realize the significance of a feature like this. Many times before, i've got through the archives to search for a specific thread, so an addition like this would be great! As another student mentioned this idea is kinda small for the whole summer, so if there is time left i could integrate my MailmanStats [1] software into Mailman and/or build CSS styles for the web UI. Please tell me what you think. I'm also on IRC by the name sophron.
