Hi Florian, I had discussed about the full anonymization project with Stephen and I had found that I had quite misunderstood the use case of that project.
So I have decided to go forward with applying for the mailman command line client project. The deliverables of the project would be, at the least, - Command line tools to perform tasks in the mailman client docs - Any Extra useful functionalities that can be identified, such as export, backup - Other Useful tools like backup and restore. - Man Page entries for the new commands Also, I did not quite get the "*coming up with a **great layout *" part. Do you mean to build a custom shell for mailman? If yes, what extra functionality should it provide than the standard command line tools? *Regards,Rajeev S* *Government Engineering College,Thrissur* *http://rajeevs.tk <http://rajeevs.tk>* On Mon, Mar 3, 2014 at 4:35 PM, Florian Fuchs <flo.fu...@gmail.com> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > > On 02/25/2014 03:17 AM, Rajeev S wrote: > > Hi, > > > > I am Rajeev S , A CSE Undergrad from India.
