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