[737] | 20 | ============================================================ |
---|
| 21 | |
---|
[1322] | 22 | TODO, in no particular order : |
---|
[2256] | 23 | |
---|
[2894] | 24 | - Add a "confirm" directive, to launch an external script |
---|
| 25 | (probably pknotify) to ask for confirmation at the time |
---|
| 26 | the estimated job's price is known. The overwrite_jobticket |
---|
| 27 | directive doesn't allow this because the estimated cost |
---|
| 28 | of the job is still unknown, only its size is known because |
---|
| 29 | the user is still not known for sure. |
---|
| 30 | |
---|
[2711] | 31 | - Add a pkrefund command line tool & optional CGI script. |
---|
[2604] | 32 | |
---|
[2446] | 33 | - PJL for non-networked backends (see ML's history) |
---|
| 34 | |
---|
[2376] | 35 | - Make the SNMP and PJL delay and number of loops a new configuration |
---|
| 36 | directive. |
---|
| 37 | |
---|
[2315] | 38 | - Add the listing of the member printers in pkprinters if the printer |
---|
| 39 | is a printer group. |
---|
| 40 | |
---|
[2208] | 41 | - Allow several levels of administrative priviledges by allowing |
---|
| 42 | files like ~pykota/pykotadmin.someusername.conf (readonly by |
---|
| 43 | user 'someusername'), and have the database server deal |
---|
| 44 | with the permissions : no need for additionnal code or data |
---|
| 45 | in PyKota's database ! |
---|
| 46 | |
---|
[1882] | 47 | - Try to talk to education based distribution coordinators |
---|
| 48 | (SambaEdu, SkoleLinux, K12LTSP, ...) to see how to |
---|
| 49 | better integrate PyKota with these. |
---|
| 50 | |
---|
[2212] | 51 | - Add most configuration directives to the database itself, |
---|
| 52 | while still allowing to overwrite them with the configuration |
---|
| 53 | files at run time. |
---|
[1844] | 54 | |
---|
[1634] | 55 | - Ink accounting ala PrintBill. |
---|
| 56 | |
---|
[1679] | 57 | - Price and statistics per page format. |
---|
| 58 | |
---|
[1598] | 59 | - Allow the admin to choose an action to take when the database |
---|
[1892] | 60 | is unavailable (server is down or something like that), so |
---|
[1598] | 61 | introduce two directives : |
---|
| 62 | |
---|
| 63 | nodb: accept|reject|hold |
---|
| 64 | lognodb: /path/to/file/for/later/batch/update/of/database |
---|
| 65 | |
---|
[1585] | 66 | - CUPS accepts the "STATE: ..." message as backchannel |
---|
| 67 | data : use this to tell CUPS what action has been taken |
---|
[2212] | 68 | for current job. I did some testing but wasn't able to |
---|
| 69 | make it work... |
---|
[1585] | 70 | |
---|
[1157] | 71 | - Documentation... |
---|
| 72 | |
---|
[2054] | 73 | - Learn more bits of PHP to help with phpPyKotaAdmin, which |
---|
| 74 | is a GREAT tool ! |
---|
[1045] | 75 | |
---|
[1385] | 76 | - Multidatabase support, e.g. store users in LDAP, quota |
---|
| 77 | related datas in PostgreSQL, history in text file, |
---|
| 78 | and so on... For 2.0, probably not before. |
---|
[2548] | 79 | |
---|
| 80 | - Re-add support for LPRng if interest is high enough (it is |
---|
| 81 | not for now) |
---|
