    Developer Resources

    If you're the kind of person who loves to get elbow deep in code, there are lots of opportunities to dig into Mailman. You may want to find a project on our Mailman TODO list or on the Mailman design notes wiki. Because Wikis are intended to be collaborative, you're free to contribute to this page in true Wiki fashion. You will also definitely want to subscribe to the mailman-developers mailing list.

    SourceForge Project Page

    Developers should start with the Mailman project at SourceForge. All patches and bugs should be submitted here so they won't get lost, although it is also requested that you inform the mailman-developers list about your submissions.

    IRC

    Some of the Mailman developers also occasionally hang out on the mailman IRC channel at freenode.net, though attendance has been spotty lately.

    Future plans

    Now that Mailman 2.1 has been released, I want to start thinking about what will be in Mailman 3.0. I intend to use the wiki for most design artifacts, and the mailman-developers mailing list for most discussions. The items that are high on my list (which is by no means complete or definitive) include: Stephan Richter has let an effort called ZMailman for integrating Zope and Mailman. I consider this a proof of concept of some of the ideas outlined above.
