Copy the mm21 admin directory out of the mm21 branch. We'll svn
external the latter to get that back into the release, but I really
don't want to maintain multiple copies of the web pages.

Many new - features have been added to Mailman 2.1, and it is currently - undecided whether the next release will be 2.2 or 3.0. - Please also see the Mailman design notes wiki at - http://www.zope.org/Members/bwarsaw/MailmanDesignNotes/FrontPage -<p> -<h3> Email Handling -</h3> -<ul> - <li> Re-implement the bulk mailer to do DNS lookups and remote MTA delivery directly (optional). - - <li> For low-traffic sites, a queued message could trigger a qrunner process. It would work until all mail was delivered, then sleep - and exit if no new work arrived. - - <li> Strip any addresses of members who have nodupe turned on, from the Cc headers of the list copy of a message. - - <li> Separate processing for MIME and plaintext digests. E.g. you might want to filter images out of plaintext but not MIME - digests. - -</ul> -<h3> Documentation -</h3> -<ul> - <li> A detailed feature list - <li> A user's guide - <li> A site-admin's guide - <li> A list-admin's guide - <li> More on-line documentation and UI help - <li> A developer's guide w/ architecture and API information - <li> manpages for the scripts in bin and cron - <li> Integrate Christopher Kolar's documentation -</ul> -<h3> General Web UI -</h3> -<ul> - <li> NO DEAD ENDS and every web page is reachable. - <li> All web UI must be configurable so that it more easily integrates into an existing site's design. Probably means using - a better template language/system like Zope's Presentation - Templates, Quixote, or PHP. - - <li> Default UI should add a navigation sidebar to all web pages. - <li> Web pages should never mention disabled features. - <li> Allow a site admin and list admins to categorize lists, so that they can be better organized on the listinfo and admin overview - pages. - -</ul> -<h3> List Administration -</h3> -<ul> - <li> Allow the moderator to edit posts being held for approval (make it evident, either through a header or other means that the - message was edited by the moderator). - - <li> Allow the admin to disable option settings by users - <li> Allow admins to block nomail settings - <li> Allow admins to control and set individual headers, adding, removing, or overriding those in the original message (sometimes - very useful, but could be dangerous!) - - <li> New moderation choice: archive but don't send to list. - <li> New moderation choice: annotate and send to author for resubmittal. Or just be able to annotate the message for - multiple moderator scenarios. - - <li> Better integration with moderated newsgroups (and allow some addresses to bypass even that moderation and be delivered to a - secondary channel, like moderators@isc.org). - - <li> Allow a list to be marked `disabled' so things like the replybot still works, and the archives are still available, but mail - posted to the list is always returned unsent. - - <li> Ability to `sideline' some messages in the moderation queue - <li> Hook moderation up to a whitelist a la TMDA. A non-member message gets held in a non-admindb queue, and the sender gets a - confirmation message. When they confirm, we moderate the - message as normal, but if they don't we assume it's spam (after - some period of time) and discard it. The admin should be able - to see all these super-quarantined messages with the flip of a - button. - - <li> Add a moderation option to pass through any message which is a reply to a message previously distributed through the list, even - if it comes from a non-member. Treat that non-member as a - member for the duration of the thread. Use In-Reply-To, - References and Message-ID to match these up. - - <li> When a held message is forwarded (for admin editing and approved resend) there should be a way to auto-discard the held message - when the approved resend is received. - - <li> Have an option to sort the list of members by real name or email address. - - <li> Test a message for all hold criteria, record them all instead of just the first match, and do a SpamAssassin like scoring to - decide whether the message should get held or not. - -</ul> -<h3> List Membership -</h3> -<ul> - <li> Have one account per user per site, with multiple email addresses and fallbacks. Allow them to subscribe whichever - address they want to whichever list, with different options per - subscription. - - <li> Allow the user to get BOTH normal and digested delivery (but I still don't understand why someone would want this) - - <li> More flexible digests: index digests (subject and authors only, with URLs to retrieve the article) - - <li> Timed vacations, allowing a user to postpone or discard email for a certain number of days or weeks. - - <li> Keep user-centric stats, such as the date the user was subscribed, the date of their last change to their account, the - date they last sent a message through the list. Perhaps also - log each message they send through the list. - -</ul> -<h3> Site Administration -</h3> -<ul> - <li> Allow the site admin to define list styles or themes, and list admins to choose one of the canned styles to apply to their - list. - - <li> Allow the site admin to send an email message to all the list admins using a mechanism similar to the Urgent: header (possibly - by addressing it to mailman@site.dom). - -</ul> -<h3> Other Usability Improvments -</h3> -<ul> - <li> A better strategy is needed for sub-lists and super-lists, including dealing with the resulting password reminders and - authorization to modify the sub & superlists. - - <li> Add a limit on the number of posts from any one individual within a period of time (1 post per day, 10 per week, etc). - Also, limits on mailbacks, infos, etc. - -</ul> -<h3> Mailcmd interface -</h3> -<ul> - <li> Provide an email interface to all administrative commands - <li> Allow email unsubs from matching address to unsubscribe, possibly adding an "allow open unsubscribes" option to control - this. Also, adding a confirmation with click-thru confirmation - to resubscribe. - - <li> For email subscribes, keep an audit of where requests are coming from, and send the original request headers in the confirmation - message. Helps track down subscribe bombs. - - <li> Investigate Majordomo2's email admin capabilities. - <li> Support the `which' command. -</ul> -<h3> Portability & architecture -</h3> -<ul> - <li> Use a real transactional database for all information, and allow various bits of information to come from different sources (a - relational database, ZODB, LDAP, etc) - - <li> Member profiles - <li> Allow lists of the same name in two different virtual domains - <li> Should be able to gather statistics, such as deliveries/day, performance, number of subscribers over time, etc. - - <li> Implement something like Roundup's nosy lists, maybe even integrate with Roundup. - - <li> Split Mailman into libraries so, e.g. the delivery part could be used by other projects. - -</ul> -<h3> Bounce handling -</h3> -<ul> - <li> Add more patterns for bounce handling (never ending) - <li> Send mail to people who are being removed without their knowledge (even though they're likely not to get it). - -</ul> -<h3> Pipermail + Archiving mechanism -</h3> -<ul> - <li> Search engine for archives - <li> Provide downloadable tar.gz's of the html archives - <li> sort by date should go most-recent to oldest - <li> allow list owner to edit archive messages - <li> optional form front-end to public interfaces as a filter to address harvesters. - - <li> In general the whole Pipermail subsystem needs a good rewrite. - <li> Write an API between Mailman and the archiver so that message footers can contain the URL to the archived message. - -</ul> -<h3> Code cleanup -</h3> -<ul> - <li> Turn all remaining string exceptions into class exceptions - <li> Unit and system test suite! (ongoing) -</ul> - -</td><!-- end of body cell --> -</tr><!-- end of sidebar/body row --> -</table><!-- end of page table --> -</body></html> |
