| 23 | | - Ensure no banner is printed if the user cancelled his job |
| 24 | | through pknotify+PyKotIcon. |
| 25 | | |
| 26 | | - Add a third settable price for printers : a minimal cost |
| 27 | | for a page, with a default value of 0.0. The value would |
| 28 | | be used instead of the computed price in the case of ink |
| 29 | | accounting if the computed price would be lower than this |
| 30 | | minimal price. The value wouldn't be used (yet?) for |
| 31 | | normal page accounting. |
| 32 | | |
| 33 | | - Document the PYKOTA_HOME environment variable. |
| 34 | | |
| 35 | | - LDAP : See if setting cn=ThePrinter for user print quota entries |
| 36 | | could be done, only in the case where userquotabase=user |
| 37 | | (idem for groups). Would make direct modifications (e.g. |
| 38 | | with gq) more easy. |
| 39 | | |
| 40 | | - Allow the disabling of an user print quota entry without |
| 41 | | deleting it. |
| 42 | | |
| 43 | | - Store the value of the user's account balance in the |
| 44 | | printing history (the value at the time of printing) |
| 45 | | as well as in the payments history (as a safety check |
| 46 | | in case an user complains). |
| 47 | | |
| 48 | | - PJL for non-networked backends (see ML's history) |
| 49 | | |
| 50 | | - Add the listing of the member printers in pkprinters if the printer |
| 51 | | is a printer group. |
| 52 | | |
| 53 | | - Allow several levels of administrative priviledges by allowing |
| 54 | | files like ~pykota/pykotadmin.someusername.conf (readonly by |
| 55 | | user 'someusername'), and have the database server deal |
| 56 | | with the permissions : no need for additionnal code or data |
| 57 | | in PyKota's database ! |
| 58 | | |
| 59 | | - Try to talk to education based distribution coordinators |
| 60 | | (SambaEdu, SkoleLinux, K12LTSP, ...) to see how to |
| 61 | | better integrate PyKota with these. |
| 62 | | |
| 63 | | - Add most configuration directives to the database itself, |
| 64 | | while still allowing to overwrite them with the configuration |
| 65 | | files at run time. |
| 66 | | |
| 67 | | - Price and statistics per page format. |
| 68 | | |
| 69 | | - Allow the admin to choose an action to take when the database |
| 70 | | is unavailable (server is down or something like that), so |
| 71 | | introduce two directives : |
| 72 | | |
| 73 | | nodb: accept|reject|hold |
| 74 | | lognodb: /path/to/file/for/later/batch/update/of/database |
| 75 | | |
| 76 | | - CUPS accepts the "STATE: ..." message as backchannel |
| 77 | | data : use this to tell CUPS what action has been taken |
| 78 | | for current job. I did some testing but wasn't able to |
| 79 | | make it work... |
| 80 | | |
| 81 | | - Documentation... |
| 82 | | |
| 83 | | - Learn more bits of PHP to help with phpPyKotaAdmin, which |
| 84 | | is a GREAT tool ! |
| 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. |
| 89 | | |
| 90 | | - Re-add support for LPRng if interest is high enough (it is |
| 91 | | not for now) |
| 92 | | |
