That is great! You can find some 'easy' tagged bugs on launchpad bug tracker for core as well as postorius. You can also write some non-trivial unit-tests for Postorius as a part of your appplication. > As this is my first GSoC try, I admit I was a bit at a loss facing the huge > diversity of organisations and projects. > > Honestly, there are three reasons that I chose Mailman over: > - it involves areas that I am familiar with and I enjoy working on (Python) > - I started looking at the organisation list and project list on day one. > At least in my opinion, Mailman has one of the most friendly > getting-started guides out there. > - I found the Javascript client project being interesting to me.

There is already another student working on this idea and so there must be some previous discussion this topic in the mailing list archives. Although the idea is simple enough that we need a simple JS client for mailman REST API. But focus should be on good testing framework and better code quality. All the best! -- thanks, Abhilash
