TODO items for public-inbox
-(Not in any particular order)
+(Not in any particular order, and
+performance, ease-of-setup, installation, maintainability, etc
+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.
* mailmap support (same as git) for remapping expired email addresses
* TLS support for various daemons (including STARTTLS for NNTP and POP3)
-* Unix socket support for HTTP and POP3 server for use behind reverse
- proxies like nginx
-
* Combined "super server" for NNTP/HTTP/POP3 to reduce memory overhead
* Optional reply-to-list support for mirroring lists that want it :<
the links should point to an anchor tag within the same page,
instead; giving the user options.
-* implement RFC 4685 (Atom message threading)
-
* configurable constants (index limits, search results)
-* use tags as date-based skiplists for navigating history
- (maybe not needed with Xapian support nowadays?)
+* handle messages with multiple Message-IDs
+
+* handle broken double-bracketed References properly (maybe)
+ and totally broken Message-IDs
+
+ cf. https://public-inbox.org/git/20160814012706.GA18784@starla/
+
+* portability to FreeBSD (and other Free Software *BSDs)
+ ugh... https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=116615
+ (IO::KQueue is broken with Danga::Socket)
+
+* improve documentation
-* handle Xapian date range queries:
- http://mid.gmane.org/20151005222157.GE5880@survex.com
+* linkify thread skeletons better
+ https://public-inbox.org/git/6E3699DEA672430CAEA6DEFEDE6918F4@PhilipOakley/
-* Consider storing git blob ID in Xapian doc data to avoid ref
- and tree lookups based on Message-Id.
+* generate sample CSS for use with Stylish/dillo/etc
-* Allow in-place Xapian updates without clobbering the whole
- index (versioning each doc data entry?) for big archives
+* streaming Email::MIME replacement: currently we generate many
+ allocations/strings for headers we never look at and slurp
+ entire message bodies into memory.
+ (this is pie-in-the-sky territory...)
* use REQUEST_URI properly for CGI / mod_perl2 compatibility
with Message-IDs which include '%' (done?)
-* more test cases (use git fast-import to speed up creation)
+* more and better test cases (use git fast-import to speed up creation)
-* large mbox/Maildir/MH/NNTP spool import (use git fast-import)
+* large mbox/Maildir/MH/NNTP spool import (see PublicInbox::Import)
