Before I answer anything: Chris, I noticed you've only just signed up
for the wiki, so I've granted you editor access now. If you were
wondering why there was no edit button before, now you know!

on the matter of having a test-environment image for everyone, I found we
could host the image almost for free on amazon, if needed, and they have
utilities to ease the process of importing/exporting from/to amazon- and
VMware- formats, if for some reason the group wanted amazon web service
portability as a feature at some point, or wanted to collaborate towards
developing an image. I mention this bc as I shared I had a live instance
of MM2 up on an AWS machine, I also thought remote-desktop'ing into an AWS
image which could then be exported might be easy enough and eliminates
uploading large .ISO/.VM-DK files somewhere.
I would be interested to know more about the format we'd use for creating
and sharing an image and look forward to working with the team
I really like the idea of having a Mailman 3 AWS machine in general.
It'd be really awesome to be able to have people just spin up a working
Mailman 3 instance to help answer their own questions about the state of
the UI and whatnot. So +1 to that if you're interested in setting it up
and just linking it from the wiki.
I'm a bit hesitant to assume that it'll be useful for the students since
cloud computing costs money, and if you're a prospective GSoC student it
might not seem worthwhile to outlay money to spin up an instance until
you've actually been accepted and know you'll be paid. So ideally, we'd
also want to have a downloadable VM that anyone could use. I personally
can provide temporary hosting if I ask my sysadmin nicely so we know to
keep an eye on traffic, and we might be able to find something more
permanent with python.org or others, so for now, if you're interested in
setting up a giant file, assume that we'll have somewhere to put it and
go ahead.
