[Mailman-Developers] GSoC 2013 ideas page

[Terri Oda]

I've set up an ideas page for Mailman in GSoC 2013:

http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Google+Summer+of+Code+2013

Right now it's seeded with some particularly clearly-defined ideas I 
received by email, but more ideas are better, so please feel free to add 
things or modify the page (or argue about why it should be modified 
here).  I'll be going through my own bug queues and other emails later 
this afternoon.

Things I'd like to see other than ideas:
- a VM we could hand out to students to shortcut the process of setting 
up a development environment
- A set of simple assignments for students to try as a quick "can I work 
with this codebase?" test.

I'm thinking things like "add inline help to one of the options in 
postorius and post your code as a branch on launchpad"  that aren't 
technically terribly technically challenging.  The idea is to give the 
students a task they can complete and give us something to require in 
their applications as proof that they'll be able to work with us.  It's 
basically "solve an easy bug and post your code" but we'll want things 
more specifically defined in case the queue of easy bugs isn't so hot 
when the students start arriving.
