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