4 This is a list of planned bug fixes, improvements and enhancements for
7 Bug numbers refer to the Mantis issue tracker at <http://bugs.th-h.de/>.
10 - Improve Documentation
11 The documentation is rather sparse and could use some improvement.
13 There is currently no kind of test suite or regression tests. Something like
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
30 NewsStats should include some other kinds of reports (stats on used clients,
31 on postings hosts/servers, ...)
33 * Individual improvements
35 - Add error handling when reading config (Bug #13)
36 NewsStats should check if all mandatory options are set. Some syntax or
37 content related checks would be in order.
38 Some other tests - working database connection, valid database and table
39 names - would be nice.
42 - Add / enhance / test error handling
43 - General tests and optimisations
46 - Add / enhance / test error handling
47 - General tests and optimisations
50 - Use hierarchy information (see GroupInfo above)
51 - Add gathering of other stats (clients, hosts, ...)
52 - better modularisation (code reuse for other reports!)
53 - Add / enhance / test error handling
54 - General tests and optimisations
57 - output: fix formatting - GetMaxLength does not work for special queries
59 - beautify output (formats / captions)
60 - -a: improve code - it doesn't make that much sense to get first/last
61 month from database just to query that same database with a time period
62 that equals no time period ... this part of the WHERE clause should be
64 - better modularisation (code reuse for other reports!)
65 - Add / enhance / test error handling
66 - General tests and optimisations
