Hello!

I'm Sneha Priscilla, a final year undergraduate CS student from Bangalore,
India.

I was a previous Summer of Code student for Systers last year and I have in
the process,  worked with a lot of Mailman (mostly the stable 2.1 version).

I am especially interested in Postorius and would like to implement one of
the following ideas this summer:
1.Better User Settings Management
2.Design interface "themes" for specific types of list
3.Enhance list style capabilities

If any of the above are not sufficient to serve as an independent project,
I thought I could team it up with any others above or with the project idea:

Convenient access to logs via admin interface

I would love to have some guidance regarding the above projects and
their feasibility , maybe how to go about it.


A little about myself:
I have 4 years of programming experience, 1 year in Python, coding for
Systers for GSoC 2012. After that summer, I've worked with Mailman 3 and
Postorius and have  found adding features to Postorius a lot of fun.
I've also worked on a bug in the month of January which was merged during
PyCon:
 https://code.launchpad.net/~stylistica/postorius/inline_helptext
Apart from this, I've also filed 2 bugs related to Postorius and which I am
currently working on.
I love algorithms and clean UI design - I have some experience with Django
 and my current final year project uses Bootstrap for CSS.

I'm hoping to work with Mailman in this year's GSoC as I already have a
tiny bit of experience with it and this would serve as an ideal opportunity
to make a big contribution and also give me a chance to work with Mailman
formally and prove my mettle.

I am accessible via email and also available on Launchpad and IRC by the
nick: stylistica .

Looking forward to (Hopefully!) working with the Mailman team.

Thanks and Regards,
Priscilla
