MBSE BBS V0.33.18 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. SETUP.sh: N: Better way to grep for excisting usernames and groupnames. mbsebbs: L: Reading of function keys over modem lines, or worse PPP connections, must be fixed. Timing problems together with modem buffering? It works with direct serial connections. Note, this also happens on busy LAN's between Linux boxes with normal xterm's. Note: this problem almost dissapeared after kernel upgrade to 2.2.16. L: Must include SEEN-BY and other hidden lines into BlueWave and QWK mail, must be user selectable. see remarks of William McBrine. The default is oke now. N: Rewrite chat to use "mbtask". Write chat functions into "mbmon" N: Implement session and time/day limits. N: Display textfiles and archives. N: Check for tagged files before logoff N: Can't post messages to users handle. L: Implement telnet door. L: Spell checker in full screen editor. L: Better word wrapping or paragraph justification in editor. mbfido: U: postnetmail doesn't set msgid and reply for storenet. U: Code cleanup and make a structure in this program. Remove duplicate or similar functions. N: Received files not in an archive are not scanned for virusses. N: Remove memory leak during toss. (It's ok for less 5000 messages for each run). N: Make a workaround for the fileecho name in the filesdatabase. N: Implement long filename support from .tic files. N: When a news article is received from a mailinglist there is a valid To: address in the message, the gate doesn't see that and uses the name to "All". U: GoldED netmail from points, FMPT kludge is missing. U: GoldED messages to internet becomes null. U: E-mail for points get status normal in the outbound. N: Wish: internet addresses in the From: field. N: Also check for file_id.diz filenames. mbcico: L: Implement modem connect response translation for ISDN lines, i.e. make the CAUSE responses human readable. see McMail for this option. N: Implement MD5 crypt in binkp protocol driver. N: Remove code to make automatic calls after mbtask does this. mbfile: N: Add a check to see if the magic filenames are valid. N: Adopt files with check for FILE_ID.DIZ N: Export to files.bbs N: Add N: Update <-touch> N: Rearc mbaff: L: Add setup parameters for minimum length of keywords. mbindex: N: Add usernames index. mbmon: L: Logfile tail functions. L: Chat with bbs users. mbtask: L: Add chat protocol. N: Let mbtask control the mailer and mailer calls. N: Implement nodelist Txx flags.
