1 This isn't an official list of plans. It's basically just some notes on where
2 we want to be going. It's something to consult when sitting down to write
3 some code and deciding what to work on.
6 Recent goals achieved (in tree, not necessarily published yet)
7 --------------------------------------------------------------
9 * GroupDAV and "webcal" (icalendar over dav) support
10 * Updated schema for publishing Citadel address book data into an
11 external LDAP directory (still awaiting enterprise number from IANA)
12 * Internationalization (WebCit is now available in several languages.)
14 Goals to achieve during the 7.xx cycle
15 --------------------------------------
17 * Aliases, virtual addresses, and distribution lists
18 (We ought to be able to handle all three of these using the same facility.)
20 * CalDAV support (eventually -- since the protocol is so ugly and needlessly
21 complex, the draft authors are still arguing over small details -- once the
22 draft is finalized, we will implement enough of CalDAV to support the two
23 major client packages currently using it)
25 * Integration of CMS and social software features (more on this later).
27 * Further internationalization (for example, in the citserver).
29 * Per-user auto-handling of inbound mail. Simple handlers such as an "out
30 of office reply" should be easy for users to set up. More complex handlers
31 such as the automatic sorting of inbound mail into various folders based
32 on sender, subject, etc. should also be possible.
34 * Address books: build dialogs to integrate personal address books into
35 mail recipient boxes, auto-completion, etc. Use AJAX for this.
37 * Better UI presentation for delegated access to mailboxes. (In IMAP this
38 will be easy because of "other users namespace" support.)
43 * Smart callback hook mechanism reducing traffic between citadel and the Database
45 * Alarms. Trigger popups etc. for users via the chat-keepalive
46 * Chat. don't query the db on and on for this.
47 * Modify a list of rooms with new items for the logged in users to do things like:
48 * Print the number of new mails onto the Webcit menu
49 * change the roomlist / treeview according to new unread messages in the rooms
51 * bright new world to the tui too!
55 * more persistant css usage in webcit
57 * backtraces in the log in case of panics, etc.
