MBSE BBS V0.37.01 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.
libdiesel.a:
U: Processed stringlines containing unbalanced " characters are not
processed, instead the previous macro value will be returned.
mbsebbs:
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.
L: Better word wrapping or paragraph justification in editor.
L: E-mail downloads with e-mail verification.
N: OLR, implement file requests.
N: If a new mailcheck takes longer then the idle timeout, the user is
disconnected as soon as the mailcheck is ready.
N: Only count posted messages in local mail areas.
L: ChangeHandle, allow own unix name as handle.
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).
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: 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.
N: Long email gated to netmail and splitted in several messages, the
second and higher messages get the wrong flavor.
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.
mbfile:
N: Add a check to see if the magic filenames are (still) valid.
N: Update <filespec> <area> <-touch>
N: Rearc <area>
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.
L: Chat with bbs users.
mbtask:
L: Add chat protocol.
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.
