[Systers-dev] No User-Interface Support for Mailman3

[Nandeep Mali]

Hi,

FWIW, I would just like to poke a bit in here!

The best part about Mailman 3 is that it has a good separation of the
UI and code Mailman logic. You can use Mailman as a simple command
line tool, or make a fully customized 'add-on' UI through its RESTful
admin interface. The official Wiki mentions it:

http://wiki.list.org/display/DEV/Web+Interface

And the actual project at Launchpad:

https://launchpad.net/mailmanweb

This side project seems pretty official to me and builds on Django. Am
not sure how much progress has been made in it yet, but you could
consider using this as a  base.

So as Anne says, best would be to get the command line support for
dlists in before the UI. After all, this is what the development model
of Mailman 3 seems like and best to stick to it. Everything should run
from command line with optional add on UIs. So if at all you do go
about building the UI, it would be nice to collaborate with this
"mailmanweb" project (its already using Django!).

Kind Regards
Nandeep
