1 | NewsStats To-Do List |
| 2 | ==================== | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | This is a list of planned bug fixes, improvements and enhancements for | |
| 5 | NewsStats. | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | Bug numbers refer to the Mantis issue tracker at <http://bugs.th-h.de/>. | |
| 8 | ||
| 9 | * General | |
| 10 | - Improve Documentation | |
| 11 | The documentation is rather sparse and could use some improvement. | |
| 12 | - Add a test suite | |
| 13 | There is currently no kind of test suite or regression tests. Something like | |
| 14 | that is badly needed. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | * Additional features | |
| 17 | - Add hierarchy information (GroupInfo - Bugs #19 #20 #21 #22 #23 #24 #25 #26) | |
| 18 | NewsStats should be able to recognize invalid (i.e. officially not existing) | |
| 19 | newsgroups and - optionally - drop them from the list of groups. On the | |
| 20 | other hand, it should recognize existing, but empty groups and add them with | |
| 21 | a posting count of 0 to its list. | |
| 22 | NewsStats should be able to do that for any past month. | |
| 23 | It would be nice to make up a kind of hierarchy database from that with | |
| 24 | information like description, charter and moderation status. You should be | |
| 25 | able to get a list of valid groups for any given month (with a bit of slack | |
| 26 | for late creation and deletion), optionally including the previously | |
| 27 | mentioned information; and you should be able to get the history of any | |
| 28 | group. | |
| 29 | - Add other reports | |
| 30 | NewsStats should include some other kinds of reports (stats on used clients, | |
| 31 | on postings hosts/servers, ...) | |

32 | - Add tools for database management |
| 33 | NewsStats should offer tools e.g. to inject postings into the 'raw' database, | |
| 34 | or to split databases. | |

35 | |
| 36 | * Individual improvements | |
| 37 | + NewsStats.pm | |
| 38 | - Add error handling when reading config (Bug #13) | |
| 39 | NewsStats should check if all mandatory options are set. Some syntax or | |
| 40 | content related checks would be in order. | |
| 41 | Some other tests - working database connection, valid database and table | |
| 42 | names - would be nice. | |
| 43 | ||
| 44 | + install/install.pl | |
| 45 | - Add / enhance / test error handling | |
| 46 | - General tests and optimisations | |
| 47 | ||
| 48 | + feedlog.pl | |
| edd250f2 TH |
49 | - Gracefully handle interruptions to database connection, at least log |
| 50 | lost postings (Bug #30). | |
| 51 | - Buffer output that cannot be written to database (Bug #31). | |
| 147194c1 TH |
52 | - Add / enhance / test error handling |
| 53 | - General tests and optimisations | |
| 54 | ||
| 55 | + gatherstats.pl | |
| 06402a25 | 56 | - Use hierarchy information (see GroupInfo above) |
| 147194c1 TH |
57 | - Add gathering of other stats (clients, hosts, ...) |
| 58 | - better modularisation (code reuse for other reports!) | |
| 59 | - Add / enhance / test error handling | |
| 60 | - General tests and optimisations | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | + groupstats.pl | |
| 147194c1 TH |
63 | - better modularisation (code reuse for other reports!) |
| 64 | - Add / enhance / test error handling | |
