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 | |

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). | |
