22TODO, in no particular order :
23
24        - Improve the SECURITY document to include good PostgreSQL
25          and OpenLDAP default settings.
26         
27        - Try to talk to education based distribution coordinators
28          (SambaEdu, SkoleLinux, K12LTSP, ...) to see how to
29          better integrate PyKota with these.
30         
31        - Allow soft and hard limits to be increased/decreased.
32       
33        - Better --prototype option in edpykota
34       
35        - Web enabled pykotme and dumpykota.
36       
37        - Add an MD5 checksum of the job's datas to the
38          history, to be able to discover duplicate print
39          jobs. This is partially done : the checksum
40          is now computed and exported into the environment
41          variable PYKOTAMD5SUM, but it is not yet saved
42          into the database.
43         
44        - Maybe put "gracedelay" in the database.
45       
46        - Price multiplier/divisor which can be set on a per
47          user or per user group basis.
48
49        - Ink accounting ala PrintBill.
50       
51        - Price and statistics per page format.
52       
53        - Add a description field to users/groups.
54       
55        - Allow the admin to choose an action to take when the database
56          is unavailable (server is down or something like that), so
57          introduce two directives :
58         
59            nodb: accept|reject|hold
60            lognodb: /path/to/file/for/later/batch/update/of/database
61       
62        - CUPS accepts the "STATE: ..." message as backchannel
63          data : use this to tell CUPS what action has been taken
64          for current job.
65         
66        - Add a "printDenyBanner: once(/path/to/banner)" directive
67                "printDenyBanner: always(/path/to/banner)"
68                "printDenyBanner: never"
69          This requires a database schema change.
70         
71        - Think about some possible client <=> PyKota dialog
72          possibilities, like embedding a small web server in
73          PyKota for example, or something like that.
74       
75        - Log something when --add is used with existing entries.
76          Maybe add a new command line option to force/not force
77          modification of existing entries.
78         
79        - Finish implementation of quota-then-balance and
80          balance-then-quota.
81         
82        - Introduce the pkusers command.
83          pkusers --nogroup
84          pkusers --ingroups gr1,gr2,... --outgroups gr3,gr4,...
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.
99
