        • 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. - -
        • Default UI should add a navigation sidebar to all web pages. -
        • Web pages should never mention disabled features. -
        • Allow a site admin and list admins to categorize lists, so that they can be better organized on the listinfo and admin overview - pages. - -
        • 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). - -
        • Allow the admin to disable option settings by users -
        • Allow admins to block nomail settings -
        • Allow admins to control and set individual headers, adding, removing, or overriding those in the original message (sometimes - very useful, but could be dangerous!) - -
        • New moderation choice: archive but don't send to list. -
        • New moderation choice: annotate and send to author for resubmittal. Or just be able to annotate the message for - multiple moderator scenarios. - -
        • 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). - -
        • 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. - -
        • Ability to `sideline' some messages in the moderation queue -
        • 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. - -
        • 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. - -
        • 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. - -
        • Have an option to sort the list of members by real name or email address. - -
        • 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. - -
        • 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. - -
        • Allow the user to get BOTH normal and digested delivery (but I still don't understand why someone would want this) - -
        • More flexible digests: index digests (subject and authors only, with URLs to retrieve the article) - -
        • Timed vacations, allowing a user to postpone or discard email for a certain number of days or weeks. - -
        • 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. - -
        • 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. - -
        • 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). - -
        • 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. - -
        • 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. - -
        • Provide an email interface to all administrative commands -
        • 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. - -
        • 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. - -
        • Investigate Majordomo2's email admin capabilities. -
        • Support the `which' command. -
        • 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) - -
        • Member profiles -
        • Allow lists of the same name in two different virtual domains -
        • Should be able to gather statistics, such as deliveries/day, performance, number of subscribers over time, etc. - -
        • Implement something like Roundup's nosy lists, maybe even integrate with Roundup. - -
        • Split Mailman into libraries so, e.g. the delivery part could be used by other projects. - -
        • Add more patterns for bounce handling (never ending) -
        • Send mail to people who are being removed without their knowledge (even though they're likely not to get it). - -
        • Search engine for archives -
        • Provide downloadable tar.gz's of the html archives -
        • sort by date should go most-recent to oldest -
        • allow list owner to edit archive messages -
        • optional form front-end to public interfaces as a filter to address harvesters. - -
        • In general the whole Pipermail subsystem needs a good rewrite. -
        • Write an API between Mailman and the archiver so that message footers can contain the URL to the archived message. -
        • Turn all remaining string exceptions into class exceptions
        • Unit and system test suite! (ongoing)

        • Re-implement the bulk mailer to do DNS lookups and remote MTA delivery directly (optional). - -
        • 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. - -
        • Strip any addresses of members who have nodupe turned on, from the Cc headers of the list copy of a message. - -
        • Separate processing for MIME and plaintext digests. E.g. you might want to filter images out of plaintext but not MIME - digests. - -

            Code cleanup

              -
            • Here's the wish list for future versions of Mailman. Many new - features have been added to Mailman 2.1, so what's left will - probably end up in a Mailman 3.0. - Please also see the Mailman design notes wiki at - http://www.zope.org/Members/bwarsaw/MailmanDesignNotes/FrontPage - -
            • Re-implement the bulk mailer to do DNS lookups and remote MTA delivery directly (optional). - -
            • 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. - -
            • Strip any addresses of members who have nodupe turned on, from the Cc headers of the list copy of a message. - -
            • Separate processing for MIME and plaintext digests. E.g. you might want to filter images out of plaintext but not MIME - digests. - -
            • A detailed feature list -
            • A user's guide -
            • A site-admin's guide -
            • A list-admin's guide -
            • More on-line documentation and UI help -
            • A developer's guide w/ architecture and API information -
            • manpages for the scripts in bin and cron -
            • Integrate Christopher Kolar's documentation -
            • NO DEAD ENDS and every web page is reachable. -
            • 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. - -
            • Default UI should add a navigation sidebar to all web pages. -
            • Web pages should never mention disabled features. -
            • Allow a site admin and list admins to categorize lists, so that they can be better organized on the listinfo and admin overview - pages. - -
            • 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). - -
            • Allow the admin to disable option settings by users -
            • Allow admins to block nomail settings -
            • Allow admins to control and set individual headers, adding, removing, or overriding those in the original message (sometimes - very useful, but could be dangerous!) - -
            • New moderation choice: archive but don't send to list. -
            • New moderation choice: annotate and send to author for resubmittal. Or just be able to annotate the message for - multiple moderator scenarios. - -
            • 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). - -
            • 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. - -
            • Ability to `sideline' some messages in the moderation queue -
            • 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. - -
            • 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. - -
            • 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. - -
            • Have an option to sort the list of members by real name or email address. - -
            • 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. - -
            • 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. - -
            • Allow the user to get BOTH normal and digested delivery (but I still don't understand why someone would want this) - -
            • More flexible digests: index digests (subject and authors only, with URLs to retrieve the article) - -
            • Timed vacations, allowing a user to postpone or discard email for a certain number of days or weeks. - -
            • 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. - -
            • 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. - -
            • 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). - -
            • 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. - -
            • 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. - -
            • Provide an email interface to all administrative commands -
            • 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. - -
            • 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. - -
            • Investigate Majordomo2's email admin capabilities. -
            • Support the `which' command. -
            • 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) - -
            • Member profiles -
            • Allow lists of the same name in two different virtual domains -
            • Should be able to gather statistics, such as deliveries/day, performance, number of subscribers over time, etc. - -
            • Implement something like Roundup's nosy lists, maybe even integrate with Roundup. - -
            • Split Mailman into libraries so, e.g. the delivery part could be used by other projects. - -
            • Add more patterns for bounce handling (never ending) -

            • optional form front-end to public interfaces as a filter to address harvesters. - -
            • In general the whole Pipermail subsystem needs a good rewrite. -
            • Write an API between Mailman and the archiver so that message footers can contain the URL to the archived message. -
            • Turn all remaining string exceptions into class exceptions
            • Unit and system test suite! (ongoing)
