| | 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 | - Complete rewrite (like groupstats.pl, include changes in NewsStats.pm) |
| | 50 | - Gracefully handle interruptions to database connection, at least log |
| | 51 | lost postings (Bug #30). |
| | 52 | - Buffer output that cannot be written to database (Bug #31). |
| | 53 | - Add / enhance / test error handling |
| | 54 | - General tests and optimisations |
| | 55 | |
| | 56 | + gatherstats.pl |
| | 57 | - Complete rewrite (like groupstats.pl, include changes in NewsStats.pm) |
| | 58 | - Use hierarchy information (see GroupInfo above) |
| | 59 | - Add gathering of other stats (clients, hosts, ...) |
| | 60 | - better modularisation (code reuse for other reports!) |
| | 61 | - Add / enhance / test error handling |
| | 62 | - General tests and optimisations |
| | 63 | |
| | 64 | + groupstats.pl |
| | 65 | - better modularisation (code reuse for other reports!) |
| | 66 | - Add / enhance / test error handling |
| | 67 | - General tests and optimisations |
