Dear Mailman developers -
Below is a message I attempted to post to the Python jobs board, but which never appeared there. As it is directly relevant to Mailman, I hope you don't mind that I also share it with you all directly. I am quite keen on solving this problem as soon as possible. Please let me know if you're interested and I'll give you the gory details. Any useful scripts or lessons learned shared back to the community, of course.
Cheers,
Tobias +1-202-265-6116

Subject: Volunteer sought to code Mailman/Plesk integration script for use by African organizations
`Kabissa - Space for Change in Africa <http://www.kabissa.org>`_ (Washington DC, USA)
===================================================================
**Job Description**: Volunteer sought to code Mailman/Plesk integration script for use by African organizations
Kabissa helps African organizations to put the Internet to work for the people they serve. A key aspect of this is maintaining a server which our member organizations in Africa use to host Websites, mailboxes - and mailing lists.
We need one-off help from a Linux/open source coder, which might turn into more regular volunteering if there is interest, to write code that integrates our existing Mailman (http://www.list.org) installation with the new version of Plesk (http://www.plesk.com) server administration tool. The goal is to empower our members to use Plesk to create, manage and then delete their own lists autonomously.
We know it is possible and have tested it on a manual basis on specific lists, but need some additional coding done to make it work on a turnkey basis for all lists on the server.
Any work done to be released (with credit where due) to the open source community.
You will need to have your own testing server.
**What Python is used for**: Mailman. The integration script could be a python script but doesn't need to be.
