   - Add a test suite
     There is currently no kind of test suite or regression tests. Something like
     that is badly needed.
+  - separate directories (bin, config, ...)
+  - make NewsStats installable in accordance with LFS and customary procedures,
+    i.e. scripts to /usr/local/news/bin or /usr/lib/news/bin, configuration
+    to /usr/local/news/etc or /etc/news and so on
 
 * Additional features
   - Add hierarchy information (GroupInfo - Bugs #19 #20 #21 #22 #23 #24 #25 #26)

   - Add other reports
     NewsStats should include some other kinds of reports (stats on used clients,
     on postings hosts/servers, ...)
+  - Add tools for database management
+    NewsStats should offer tools e.g. to inject postings into the 'raw' database,
+    or to split databases.
 
 * Individual improvements

-    - Add error handling when reading config (Bug #13)
-      NewsStats should check if all mandatory options are set. Some syntax or
-      content related checks would be in order.

       Some other tests - working database connection, valid database and table
       names - would be nice.

   + gatherstats.pl
-    - Fix database updates when re-running (Bug #18)
-      Change REPLACE to DELETE with subsequent INSERT INTO (erase wrong data,
-      i.e. non-existent groups)
-    - Enhance TLH checks to allow for more than one TLH
-    - Make gatherstats aware of hierarchy lists (Bug #17)
-      A current (!) list of existing groups (checkgroups or INN active) should
-      be honored, with optional modifications. Non-existing groups should be
-      (logged and) dropped, existing groups with no postings should be set to 0.
-      Hierarchy elements (*.ALL) must be taken into account.
-      Perhaps invalid group names should also be checked (but what characters
-      should be considered "invalid"?)
-      GroupInfo (see above) could be an alternate solution.
+    - Use hierarchy information (see GroupInfo above)
     - Add gathering of other stats (clients, hosts, ...)
     - better modularisation (code reuse for other reports!)

   + groupstats.pl
-    - output: fix formatting - GetMaxLength does not work for special queries
-      like -l or -b
-    - beautify output (formats / captions)
-    - -a: improve code - it doesn't make that much sense to get first/last
-      month from database just to query that same database with a time period
-      that equals no time period ... this part of the WHERE clause should be
-      dropped instead
-    - change precedence handling of -m/-p/-a: drop -m if -p or -a are present,
-      drop -p if -a is present
-    - save report(s) to a file (Bug #27)
