22TODO, in no particular order :
23       
24        - PJL for non-networked backends (see ML's history)
25       
26        - --freemoney/--freepages command line option for edpykota :
27          don't modify the totals or payments, but instead set
28          a freemoney/freepages attribute which will be decremented/incremented
29          **before** the real one.
30         
31        - Make the SNMP and PJL delay and number of loops a new configuration
32          directive.
33       
34        - Adds configurability to what happens when the user/group doesn't exist
35          when running edpykota. Rewrite the main loop to be able to abort
36          early, before any modification has taken place.
37         
38        - Add the listing of the member printers in pkprinters if the printer
39          is a printer group.
40         
41        - Allow several levels of administrative priviledges by allowing
42          files like ~pykota/pykotadmin.someusername.conf (readonly by
43          user 'someusername'), and have the database server deal
44          with the permissions : no need for additionnal code or data
45          in PyKota's database !
46       
47        - Try to talk to education based distribution coordinators
48          (SambaEdu, SkoleLinux, K12LTSP, ...) to see how to
49          better integrate PyKota with these.
50         
51        - Add most configuration directives to the database itself,
52          while still allowing to overwrite them with the configuration
53          files at run time.
54       
55        - Ink accounting ala PrintBill.
56       
57        - Price and statistics per page format.
58       
59        - Allow the admin to choose an action to take when the database
60          is unavailable (server is down or something like that), so
61          introduce two directives :
62         
63            nodb: accept|reject|hold
64            lognodb: /path/to/file/for/later/batch/update/of/database
65       
66        - CUPS accepts the "STATE: ..." message as backchannel
67          data : use this to tell CUPS what action has been taken
68          for current job. I did some testing but wasn't able to
69          make it work...
70         
71        - Introduce the pkusers command.
72          pkusers --nogroup
73          pkusers --ingroups gr1,gr2,... --outgroups gr3,gr4,...
74         
75        - Documentation...
76         
77        - Learn more bits of PHP to help with phpPyKotaAdmin, which
78          is a GREAT tool !
79       
80        - Multidatabase support, e.g. store users in LDAP, quota 
81          related datas in PostgreSQL, history in text file,
82          and so on... For 2.0, probably not before.
