Developers of Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Dear all,

With most of the Ansible development environment set, I am now ready to 
start working on Sympa 7.0.

For this purpose, I created a branch in the Sympa github project, 
cleverly named sympa-7.0 
(https://github.com/sympa-community/sympa/tree/sympa-7.0).

What I plan to do is start working with the new Sympatic module 
(https://github.com/sympa-community/p5-sympatic) that eiro created to 
provide general guidelines for Sympa development. I plan to work module 
by module, trying to maintain:

1- a synchronization with what Ikedas does in the 6.2 branch, at least 
for any functional enhancement (code chould derive at some point)

2- a functional Sympa server in my development environment.

I think this is the right way to start actually evolving the code.

Soji wisely noticed that we should start thinking about a release 
manager for the 7.0 branch. This is an open question for now. Any 
volunteers?

Just before I start, I want to emphasize that:

- anyone can work on the sympa-7.0 branch, provided he/she tries to keep 
with the two constraints above,

- any suggestions about my commits are welcome,

- any remarks regarding the coding style described in Sympatic are also 
welcome and the sooner the better.

Regards,

David
