I am considering starting a new python program that would work very similar to mailman but involve a PostgreSQL back end. I haven't looked too far into the mailman code to determine just how much data it is currently storing, so I am not sure if an abstraction layer to pgsql is the best solution for what I am aiming to do.
My goal is to create an application that works very similar to mailman with a database back end and contains reporting. At the moment, I am not sure whether or not mailman has any reporting features that would generate pretty pages with graphs, stats, etc.
Is there a reporting feature for mailman that someone has built already? I want statistics of who posts the most on a list, how many people subscribed between dates, by month, year, how many people unsub'd during any specific period. (perhaps people unsub'd during a heated thread... i'd like to track that sort of information).
So, as Mailman developers, do you see an 'easier' route using the existing infrastructure to handle this sort of reporting with a db backend? or should I start from scratch and use some of mailmans technology in the process?
Anyone interested in assisting me in such a project? are there any projects that some of you may be aware that already exist that work like this?
Cheers,
Robby
