$Id$ MBSE BBS V0.37.03 TODO list. ---------------------------- These are a list of things that must be implemented one way or another. Some things are urgent and necessary to operate the bbs without human intervention, others are just for comfort, or nice. I think this list will always contain items, I only hope the urgent matters will be removed. Note that most goodies are still in my mind instead of in this file. Classes: U = Urgent. N = Normal, second priority. L = Cosmetic or nice to have. install: N: On some (unsupported) distro's with xinetd the installation script also adds entries to inetd.conf. libdiesel.a: U: Processed stringlines containing unbalanced " characters are not processed, instead the previous macro value will be returned. mbsebbs: L: Better word wrapping or paragraph justification in editor. L: E-mail downloads with e-mail verification. N: OLR, implement file requests. N: Only count posted messages in local mail areas. L: ChangeHandle, allow own unix name as handle. L: OLR: tagged areas must have 3 states, off, on or personal only. L: OLR: implement limit date function. L: OLR: include private email area in download packets. L: OLR: implement some global settings from the offline configuration. L: OLR: implement keywords and filters. L: OLR: check qwke extensions. N: OLR: qwk, check netmail entered from reader, fido address missing? newuser: L: Allow handles to be the same as the unixname. mbfido: N: The elist rules files are named (8.3) areaname.rul where areaname is the first 8 characters of the area name and we use the full name only. Make sure both namings are accepted? N: Count posted messages during mailscan. U: Code cleanup and make a structure in this program. Remove duplicate or similar functions. N: Remove memory leak during toss. (It's ok for less 5000 messages for each run). N: Process GoldED filerequest netmails with the filereq flag set, we should create a .req file with the contents of the subject line. N: Process To: and Cc: lines in messages gated from Fido to Internet. N: Add macro's for stats of all months. L: Implement netmail K/S flag to mark netmail Deleted. N: Implement file requests for directory nodes. L: Add %from command to areamgr/filemgr. L: Add netmail notification of changed areas. L: Maybe store insecure echomail in badmail area. L: Maybe store echomail for unknown areas in badmail area. N: Make ik possible to only virus scan the complete archives. N: Force processing of arealists so that all tags are forced to uppercase. Seems to give problems in some nets. N: Let mbfido areas with a special switch update area descriptions. N: Send rulefile via netmail for each new connected mail area. N: Send notifications to downlinks about changed areas from uplink. mbcico: N: Implement MD5 crypt in binkp protocol driver. N: Doesn't poll internet nodes with non-standard ports when the FQDN:port is in the override field. N: See if it is possible with binkp protocol to resume aborted transfers. N: Implement binkp resync when getting files. Transmit works. N: Add better check for stale outbound locks, check if the pid is from a non-mbse program or add a age check. N: Irex sends GOT: SEAP\7eNZE.TGZ 15423 1042401790 on a file send as send "/opt/mbse/var/boxes/ntbox/SEAP~NZE.TGZ" as "SEAP~NZE.TGZ". Filenames in Irex inbound are named SEAP~NZE.TGZ, which is good. We need to understand the escapes. mbfile: N: Add a check to see if the magic filenames are (still) valid. N: Update <-touch> N: Rearc N: Possibility to skip file areas from checking and reindexing. N: Override timeout during virus scan when files are imported. N: Add area sorting mbmsg: N: With the post command if a netmail area is used the netmail area will cause trouble later, should be blocked to be used on netmail areas. mbaff: L: Add setup parameters for minimum length of keywords. mbindex: N: Add usernames index. mbmon: L: Logfile tail functions. mbtask: N: Add events. mbnewusr: N: On NetBSD, supress error message from mbpasswd. mbsetup: N: Add a check for double areatag names. U: PickAka function lets mbsetup crash if domain is 12 characters N: Use some sort of sorting for the system aka's and make sure the main aka with zone's is listed first. Having zone's mixed gives too high outbound stats and the outbound is scanned multiple times. N: Put ZMH fields in the network setup for each zone. N: Add switch for file area to skip checking and indexing. N: Add menu switches in nodes/groups to select/deselect all groups at once. N: Add global setup in menus 9.1 and 10.1 at least to change uplink data. L: Generate crossreference document: File Areas <=> BBS groups File Areas <=> Newfiles groups Filefind flags <=> TIC Areas Echomail <=> Mail groups Echomail <=> Nodes Fileechos <=> Groups Fileechos <=> Nodes Fileechos <=> BBS Areas Fileechos <=> Magic processing Fileechos <=> Hatch Newfiles <=> BBS Areas Newfiles <=> File groups Echomail groups <=> Nodes Echomail groups <=> Areas Fileecho groups <=> Nodes Fileecho groups <=> File echos Fileecho groups <=> Newfile reports Fileecho groups <=> BBS Areas
