[737]20============================================================

[1322]22TODO, in no particular order :
[737]23
[1844]24        - Web enabled pykotme and dumpykota.
25       
[1816]26        - Add a configuration directive to forbid user account
27          creation if the user doesn't exist on the system.
28       
[1752]29        - Add an MD5 checksum of the job's datas to the
30          history, to be able to discover duplicate print
[1772]31          jobs. This is partially done : the checksum
32          is now computed and exported into the environment
33          variable PYKOTAMD5SUM, but it is not yet saved
34          into the database.
[1752]35         
[1709]36        - Maybe put "gracedelay" in the database.
37       
[1679]38        - Price multiplier/divisor which can be set on a per
39          user or per user group basis.
40
[1634]41        - Ink accounting ala PrintBill.
42       
[1679]43        - Price and statistics per page format.
44       
[1623]45        - Add a description field to users/groups.
46       
[1598]47        - Allow the admin to choose an action to take when the database
48          is unavailable (server is down or something like that) :
49          introduce two directives :
50         
51            nodb: accept|reject|hold
52            lognodb: /path/to/file/for/later/batch/update/of/database
53       
[1585]54        - CUPS accepts the "STATE: ..." message as backchannel
55          data : use this to tell CUPS what action has been taken
56          for current job.
57         
[1581]58        - Add frontbanner and rearbanner directives to pykota.conf
59          This directives will allow the launch (if executable)
60          or the use of the banner path passed as a parameter.
61          If executable, the banner content will be taken from
62          the command's output, else from the banner file
63          directly.
64         
65          Maybe allow frontbanner: +somepath and
66                      frontbanner: -somepath
67          to allow/deny accounting of the banner itself
68          (not sure because may be VERY DIFFICULT !)
69         
[1501]70        - Think about some possible client <=> PyKota dialog
71          possibilities, like embedding a small web server in
[1507]72          PyKota for example, or something like that.
[1501]73       
74        - Log something when --add is used with existing entries.
75          Maybe add a new command line option to force/not force
76          modification of existing entries.
77         
[1440]78        - Finish implementation of quota-then-balance and
79          balance-then-quota.
80         
[1383]81        - Test and document a possible workaround for knowing
82          if the job is a banner (embed a postscript comment
83          in the banner).
84         
[1640]85        - Introduce the pkusers command.
86          pkusers --nogroup
[1378]87          pkusers --ingroups gr1,gr2,... --outgroups gr3,gr4,...
[1370]88         
[1319]89        - Allow the --ingroups command line option to repykota, to
90          report only users members of the specified groups.
91         
[1157]92        - Documentation...
93         
[1045]94        - Complete web administrative interface with graphical reports.
95       
[737]96        - Group administrators (think quotagrpdmins for disk quotas).
[1157]97          Won't be implemented for now.
[1385]98         
99        - Multidatabase support, e.g. store users in LDAP, quota 
100          related datas in PostgreSQL, history in text file,
101          and so on... For 2.0, probably not before.
