Hi, Máirín!  Good to see you here!

Thanks :) Long time lurker :)

I'm not sure what you mean by "design".  Something like graphic design
via CSS alone doesn't fly.  It has to come with an implementation that
is aimed to be of high enough quality to be integrated.

By UX design I don't mean simply surface aesthetics, but designing the interactions and workflows for new features and cleaning up what's there, scoping out new features (e.g., right now Karen and I are working out whether or not users should be able to follow categories in Hyperkitty like they can follow tags, walking through what a user might want to do based on how mailing lists may be set up, and the mechanisms we could add to allow the feature.)

So I was actually envisioning an internship similar to what my current Hyperkitty OPW program intern is doing some UX design work (as described above) but also creating static HTML pages of the new pages, modifying existing screens to mobile friendly / responsive by upgrading it to the latest Bootstrap and making it more Bootstrap-compliant (it was a little messy before she fixed it up.)

So she is doing some CSS yeah, but also javascript and she's modifying stuff in django too for the Bootstrap upgrade. Testing how well it works across various mobile formats. In addition to creating UX mockups, etc.

If what you mean is the kind of stuff that is involved in Postorius
and Shanu Salunke's "Mailman Interface" (a GSoC project for Systers
last year), yes, that passes muster.

While I've used Postorius and am familiar with it, I'm not familiar with Shanu's internship work. How do you think what I'm proposing above compares?
