22TODO, in no particular order :
23       
24        - Add a --email command line option to pkusers, to allow
25          modification of an existing email address.
26         
27        - Add a pkrefund command line tool & optional CGI script.
28       
29        - PJL for non-networked backends (see ML's history)
30       
31        - Make the SNMP and PJL delay and number of loops a new configuration
32          directive.
33       
34        - Add the listing of the member printers in pkprinters if the printer
35          is a printer group.
36         
37        - Allow several levels of administrative priviledges by allowing
38          files like ~pykota/pykotadmin.someusername.conf (readonly by
39          user 'someusername'), and have the database server deal
40          with the permissions : no need for additionnal code or data
41          in PyKota's database !
42       
43        - Try to talk to education based distribution coordinators
44          (SambaEdu, SkoleLinux, K12LTSP, ...) to see how to
45          better integrate PyKota with these.
46         
47        - Add most configuration directives to the database itself,
48          while still allowing to overwrite them with the configuration
49          files at run time.
50       
51        - Ink accounting ala PrintBill.
52       
53        - Price and statistics per page format.
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. I did some testing but wasn't able to
65          make it work...
66         
67        - Documentation...
68         
69        - Learn more bits of PHP to help with phpPyKotaAdmin, which
70          is a GREAT tool !
71       
72        - Multidatabase support, e.g. store users in LDAP, quota 
73          related datas in PostgreSQL, history in text file,
74          and so on... For 2.0, probably not before.
75         
76        - Re-add support for LPRng if interest is high enough (it is
77          not for now)
78
