22TODO, in no particular order :
23
24        - Allow the admin to choose an action to take when the database
25          is unavailable (server is down or something like that) :
26          introduce two directives :
27         
28            nodb: accept|reject|hold
29            lognodb: /path/to/file/for/later/batch/update/of/database
30       
31        - CUPS accepts the "STATE: ..." message as backchannel
32          data : use this to tell CUPS what action has been taken
33          for current job.
34         
35        - Add frontbanner and rearbanner directives to pykota.conf
36          This directives will allow the launch (if executable)
37          or the use of the banner path passed as a parameter.
38          If executable, the banner content will be taken from
39          the command's output, else from the banner file
40          directly.
41         
42          Maybe allow frontbanner: +somepath and
43                      frontbanner: -somepath
44          to allow/deny accounting of the banner itself
45          (not sure because may be VERY DIFFICULT !)
46         
47        - Add full setting support of the printer's description 
48          attribute in pkprinters.
49       
50        - Add support for binary PostScript in generic PDL parser,
51          using the BBox method described by Helge Blischke in CUPS'
52          developpment mailing list.
53         
54        - Improve waitprinter.sh
55       
56        - Re-add support for LPRng.
57       
58        - Think about some possible client <=> PyKota dialog
59          possibilities, like embedding a small web server in
60          PyKota for example, or something like that.
61       
62        - Log something when --add is used with existing entries.
63          Maybe add a new command line option to force/not force
64          modification of existing entries.
65         
66        - Finish implementation of quota-then-balance and
67          balance-then-quota.
68         
69        - Test and document a possible workaround for knowing
70          if the job is a banner (embed a postscript comment
71          in the banner).
72         
73        - pkusers --nogroup
74          pkusers --ingroups gr1,gr2,... --outgroups gr3,gr4,...
75         
76        - Ensures data are stored in a consistent way with Unicode :
77          I can't reproduce the problem.
78       
79        - Allow the --ingroups command line option to repykota, to
80          report only users members of the specified groups.
81         
82        - Documentation...
83         
84        - Complete web administrative interface with graphical reports.
85       
86        - Group administrators (think quotagrpdmins for disk quotas).
87          Won't be implemented for now.
88         
89        - Multidatabase support, e.g. store users in LDAP, quota 
90          related datas in PostgreSQL, history in text file,
91          and so on... For 2.0, probably not before.
