all need to be considered for everything we introduce)
* general performance improvements, but without relying on
- XS or compiled code any more than we currently do.
+ XS or pre-built modules any more than we currently do.
* mailmap support (same as git) for remapping expired email addresses
yet storing large amounts of data on computers without a
public IP behind a home Internet connection.
-* TLS support for various daemons (including STARTTLS for NNTP and POP3)
+* DHT (distributed hash table) for mapping Message-IDs to various
+ archive locations to avoid SPOF.
* optional Cache::FastMmap support so production deployments won't
need Varnish (Varnish doesn't protect NNTP, either)
ensure things continue working as they should (or more better)
while retaining compatibility with old versions.
-* NNTP COMPRESS extension (see innd)
-
* Support more of RFC 3977 (NNTP)
* Combined "super server" for NNTP/HTTP/POP3 to reduce memory overhead
* imperfect scraper importers for obfuscated list archives
(e.g. obfuscated Mailman stuff, Google Groups, etc...)
-* support hooks, since low-level git-fast-import does not run them
- https://public-inbox.org/meta/20190405174329.GA21472@chatter.qube.local/
+* consider using HTTP::Date instead of Date::Parse, since we need the
+ former is capable of parsing RFC822-ish dates, used by Plack, and
+ the latter is missing from OpenBSD and maybe other distros.
+
+* improve performance and avoid head-of-line blocking on slow storage
+
+* share "git cat-file --batch" processes across inboxes to avoid
+ bumping into /proc/sys/fs/pipe-user-pages-* limits
+
+* make "git cat-file --batch" detect unlinked packfiles so we don't
+ have to restart processes (very long-term)
+
+* support searching based on `git-patch-id --stable` to improve
+ bidirectional mapping of commits <=> emails
+
+* linter to check validity of config file
+
+* linter option and WWW endpoint to graph relationships and flows
+ between inboxes, addresses maildirs, coderepos, etc...
+
+* pygments support - via Python script similar to `git cat-file --batch'
+ to avoid startup penalty. pygments.rb (Ruby) can be inspiration, too.
+
+* highlighting + linkification for "git format-patch --interdiff" output
+
+* highlighting + linkification for "git format-patch --range-diff" output
+ (requires mirroring of git repos)
+
+* parse and allow (semi)automatic-mirroring of "git request-pull" output
+ for coderepos
+
+* configurable diff output for solver-generated blobs
-* investigate native grokmirror support/integration
+* fix search for messages with multiple Subject:/To:/From:/Date:
+ headers (some wacky examples out there...)
