22TODO, in no particular order :
23       
24        - Growl notifications for MacOSX users (while printing) :
25       
26          http://the.taoofmac.com/space/Projects/netgrowl.py
27         
28        - PJL for non-networked backends (see ML's history)
29       
30        - --freemoney/--freepages command line option for edpykota :
31          don't modify the totals or payments, but instead set
32          a freemoney/freepages attribute which will be decremented/incremented
33          **before** the real one.
34         
35        - Make the SNMP and PJL delay and number of loops a new configuration
36          directive.
37       
38        - Adds configurability to what happens when the user/group doesn't exist
39          when running edpykota. Rewrite the main loop to be able to abort
40          early, before any modification has taken place.
41         
42        - Add the listing of the member printers in pkprinters if the printer
43          is a printer group.
44         
45        - Allow several levels of administrative priviledges by allowing
46          files like ~pykota/pykotadmin.someusername.conf (readonly by
47          user 'someusername'), and have the database server deal
48          with the permissions : no need for additionnal code or data
49          in PyKota's database !
50       
51        - Try to talk to education based distribution coordinators
52          (SambaEdu, SkoleLinux, K12LTSP, ...) to see how to
53          better integrate PyKota with these.
54         
55        - Add most configuration directives to the database itself,
56          while still allowing to overwrite them with the configuration
57          files at run time.
58       
59        - Ink accounting ala PrintBill.
60       
61        - Price and statistics per page format.
62       
63        - Allow the admin to choose an action to take when the database
64          is unavailable (server is down or something like that), so
65          introduce two directives :
66         
67            nodb: accept|reject|hold
68            lognodb: /path/to/file/for/later/batch/update/of/database
69       
70        - CUPS accepts the "STATE: ..." message as backchannel
71          data : use this to tell CUPS what action has been taken
72          for current job. I did some testing but wasn't able to
73          make it work...
74         
75        - Introduce the pkusers command.
76          pkusers --nogroup
77          pkusers --ingroups gr1,gr2,... --outgroups gr3,gr4,...
78         
79        - Documentation...
80         
81        - Learn more bits of PHP to help with phpPyKotaAdmin, which
82          is a GREAT tool !
83       
84        - Multidatabase support, e.g. store users in LDAP, quota 
85          related datas in PostgreSQL, history in text file,
86          and so on... For 2.0, probably not before.
