UX Design in Action: Redesigning the Mailman UI
summary
Mailman archives get rebuilt into HyperKitty: a Django/Python frontend that uses a REST API to add search and activity graphs, per-list stats, thread up/down voting, categories and user profiles so newcomers see reputation and active threads at a glance. Design process yields 32 sketch ideas and high‑fidelity mockups; front-end uses Inkscape designs, media queries and a custom Bootstrap fork for mobile‑first responsive layout. Code and demo live on GitHub and the beta 3.x series is already rolling out.
