22TODO, in no particular order :
23
24        - Maybe put "gracedelay" in the database.
25       
26        - Allow admin to specify a prefix to delete from
27          usernames when printing, just like what is done
28          for the "utolower" directive.
29         
30        - Price multiplier/divisor which can be set on a per
31          user or per user group basis.
32
33        - Ink accounting ala PrintBill.
34       
35        - Price and statistics per page format.
36       
37        - Add a description field to users/groups.
38       
39        - Allow the admin to choose an action to take when the database
40          is unavailable (server is down or something like that) :
41          introduce two directives :
42         
43            nodb: accept|reject|hold
44            lognodb: /path/to/file/for/later/batch/update/of/database
45       
46        - CUPS accepts the "STATE: ..." message as backchannel
47          data : use this to tell CUPS what action has been taken
48          for current job.
49         
50        - Add frontbanner and rearbanner directives to pykota.conf
51          This directives will allow the launch (if executable)
52          or the use of the banner path passed as a parameter.
53          If executable, the banner content will be taken from
54          the command's output, else from the banner file
55          directly.
56         
57          Maybe allow frontbanner: +somepath and
58                      frontbanner: -somepath
59          to allow/deny accounting of the banner itself
60          (not sure because may be VERY DIFFICULT !)
61         
62        - Improve waitprinter.sh
63       
64        - Think about some possible client <=> PyKota dialog
65          possibilities, like embedding a small web server in
66          PyKota for example, or something like that.
67       
68        - Log something when --add is used with existing entries.
69          Maybe add a new command line option to force/not force
70          modification of existing entries.
71         
72        - Finish implementation of quota-then-balance and
73          balance-then-quota.
74         
75        - Test and document a possible workaround for knowing
76          if the job is a banner (embed a postscript comment
77          in the banner).
78         
79        - Introduce the pkusers command.
80          pkusers --nogroup
81          pkusers --ingroups gr1,gr2,... --outgroups gr3,gr4,...
82         
83        - Ensures data are stored in a consistent way with Unicode :
84          I can't reproduce the problem.
85       
86        - Allow the --ingroups command line option to repykota, to
87          report only users members of the specified groups.
88         
89        - Documentation...
90         
91        - Complete web administrative interface with graphical reports.
92       
93        - Group administrators (think quotagrpdmins for disk quotas).
94          Won't be implemented for now.
95         
96        - Multidatabase support, e.g. store users in LDAP, quota 
97          related datas in PostgreSQL, history in text file,
98          and so on... For 2.0, probably not before.
