$Id$ 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. general: N: Add the default root domain DNS lookup if no DNS info is available in the nodelist. Setting per zone. 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. N: Check for tagged files before logoff 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: In mail areas for only Alias names, the normal usernames show up. mbfido: 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: 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: 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 traffic to html.nodes 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 <-touch> N: Rearc N: Possibility to skip file areas from checking and reindexing. N: Override timeout during virus scan when files are imported. 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. mbtask: U: When a new user registers and presses enter on the name prompt and then hangs up (at least with telnet), mbtask aborts. mbsetup: U: In menu 9.2 moving a valid area to area 0 will crash 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. 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
