GNU Mailman 3 and Django

on YouTube ↗23m

" summary

Mailman 3 separates web UIs from the core and uses Django to provide a JSON local REST API (HTTP) with Python bindings in the mailman.client package, plus a Zope-based archiver interface for per-message hooks. Two reusable Django apps exist: Postorius for list creation, subscription and preference changes and HyperKitty as a threaded archiver with stats and in-browser posting. A Launchpad "mailman-bundler" installer wires mailman, apps and mail server; several GSoC students contributed and Fedora runs a working demo.
