[Mailman-Developers] [GSoC 2014] Interested in contributing to Mailman, Need guidance.

[Pranjal Mittal]

Hi there,

I am Pranjal; A final year student at Indian Institute of Technology,
Varanasi, India.I am familiar with Python, Javascript, C/C++ and HTML/CSS.
I have good experience working with Django/Python and have worked on many
web applications from development to deployment.

I really love contributing to open source and some of my open source
contributions can be viewed on Github [1].
As I worked on one of my previous project for Google Cloud Developer
Challenge 2013 caled Makemymails [2] (GCDC 2013 finalist), I developed a
lot of interest in emails, SMTP, MTA's and Google APIs. I have always loved
working on Django/Python and web technologies in general.

I would love to get actively involved with the Mailman community,
contribute code, discuss ideas and am happy to learn new things :) GSoC
2014 will be a really nice opportunity to build a plan, hack on a great new
feature for Mailman and an opportunity for me to work in my area of
interest.

*I am looking for some guidance to get started and also a possible topic on
which I could contribute effectively*. I spent a few days going through the
docs of (Mailman 2.1) , and wikis for Mailman 3 and had some questions. I
will write about them soon (separately).

Looking forward to hear back and some guidance to get setup with the source
code and required libraries. (I am using Linux - Ubuntu 12.04)


Thanks :)
Kind Regards,
- Pranjal
