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