[Systers-dev] Time for weekly updates

[Anna Granudd]

Hi all,
since it's Friday I guess it's time for another weekly update.

As for my work, I finished my unit tests for the models and started on
writing views. So far I implemented the possibility to unsubscribe from a
list. Florian, my mentor, already implemented the possibility to subscribe,
create lists and list all created lists. I modified his old subscribe
view/function and added the unsubscribe possibility. However after that the
problems started. I wanted to continue creating views but for that I need a
rest-client providing me with the functions necessary to connect to core
Mailman. The client doesn't have that many functions yet so I started
checking what functions the rest server had to see if we could further
extend the client. I then realized that the server also lacks some functions
so I talked to Florian about this and we agreed I should try to figure out
what we need and file that as bugs tagged so Barry would notice them and he
and other core people can implement them. For instance, one quite important
thing missing is the handling of passwords - you can currently subscribe and
unsubscribe (only) without a password and if I am to create a user settings
page I do want the user to have to provide a password. For other bugs I
noticed in the client I only sent notifications about them in emails with
suggested fixes to Florian who wrote the client (possibly with some help
from his colleagues at work). For now I'll continue trying to find out what
functions we need and probably start considering how to design the settings
page.

Thanks,
Anna
