#	Files-Affected	State	Class	Rank	Est V	Synopsis
349		open	wish	low		* Consider implementing the HEADERS command as discussed rather extensively in news.software.nntp.
359		open	wish	low		* Several people have Perl interfaces to pieces of INN that should ideally be part of the INN source tree in some fashion.
376		open	wish	low		* All the old packages in unoff-contrib should be reviewed for integration into INN.
377		open	wish	low		* Look through
401		open	wish	low		* Possible NNTP extension: Compression of the protocol, using gzip, bzip2, or some other technique.

348	active	open	serious-defect	high		* Editing the active file by hand can currently munge it fairly badly even if the server is throttled unless you reload active before restarting the server.
Items: 1 Items open: 0 0.000000 (1 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
328	actsync	open	maintenance	high		* actsyncd could stand a rewrite and cleaner handling of both configuration and syncing against multiple sources which are canonical for different sets of groups.

292	auth	open	improvement	high	2.4	Figure out some Samba library that we can link against.
350	auth	open	wish	low		* One person wanted to allow access to the news server only to people who are members of a specific Unix group.
352	auth	open	wish	low		* A PAM-based authenticator for the readers.conf external authentication support.
395	auth	open	wish	low		* External authenticators should also be able to do things like return a list of groups that a person is allowed to read or post to.

301	build	open	improvement	high	2.5	* Rewrite configure, breaking all of the tests out into separate files using the new capabilities in autoconf 2.50.
305	build	open	improvement	high	2.6	* The libinn, libstorage, and other library interfaces should be treated as stable libraries and properly versioned using libtool's recommendation for library versioning when changes are made so that they can be installed as shared libraries and work properly through releases of INN.
306	build	open	improvement	high	2.6	* The include files necessary to use libinn, libstorage, and other libraries should be installed in a suitable directory so that other programs can link against them.
307	build	open	improvement	high	H prior.	* Modulo warnings from system headers and warnings where the compiler is simply wrong and there's no equally readable way to rewrite the code, INN should compile cleanly under "make warnings".
321	build	open	maintenance	high		* Eliminate everything in the LEGACY section of config.h.
322	build	open	maintenance	high		* Move all compile-time configuration in config.h either into a separate header (such as inn/options.h) or turn it into a configuration file directive or a command-line option.
323	build	open	maintenance	high		* Move include/paths.h to include/inn/paths.h and change _PATH as a prefix to INN_PATH to move the identifiers out of the C reserved namespace.
324	build	open	maintenance	high		* Move include/nntp.h to include/inn/nntp.h and at the same time look at standardizing the names of all of the #defines it provides, including the message class.
368	build	open	wish	low		* There was a request to make --program-suffix and the other name transformation options to autoconf work.
385	build	open	wish	low		* The test suite currently doesn't work when compiled with libtool.
386	build	open	improvement	high		* Support building a profiling version of INN.
407	build	open	wish	low		* Support building in a separate directory than the source tree.

312	C	open	improvement	high	H prior.	* Various parts of INN are using write or writev; they should all use xwrite or xwritev instead.
313	C	open	improvement	high	H prior.	* Apparently on Solaris open can also be interrupted by a signal; we may need to have an xopen wrapper that checks for EINTR and retries.
326	C	open	maintenance	high		* Get rid of GetTimeInfo and TIMEINFO.
327	C	open	maintenance	high		* Replace all of the temporary file creation code in INN with something built on a safe temporary file function like mkstemp (or a local replacement, if the system doesn't have it).
333	C	open	maintenance	high		* Use vectors or cvectors everywhere that argify and friends are currently used and eliminate the separate implementations in lib/argparse.c and in nnrpd/misc.c.
334	C	open	maintenance	high		* Rename TRUE and FALSE to true and false everywhere.
335	C	open	maintenance	high		* Eliminate all of the needless casts to void that are scattered around to silent old versions of lint.
336	C	open	maintenance	high		* Use ANSI C prototypes and definitions for all functions.
340	C	open	maintenance	high		* Examine the (mostly socket) code that currently should probably be compiled with -fno-strict-aliasing on gcc and move the relevant casts to within function calls.
378	C	open	wish	low		* It may be better for INN on SysV-derived systems to use poll rather than select.
379	C	open	wish	low		* Currently only innd and innfeed increase their file descriptor limits.
388	C	open	wish	low		* Look at turning header parsing into a library of some sort.
404	C	open	wish	low		* Set up the infrastructure required so that INN can use alloca.
405	C	open	wish	low		* A serious investigation into whether INN could use a garbage collector is probably a good idea.
406	C	open	wish	low		* Look at integrating asprintf and vasprintf.
409	C	open	wish	low		* The "possibly signed" char data type is one of the inherent flaws of C.
410	C	open	wish	low		* It would clean up a lot of code considerably if we could just use mmap semantics regardless of whether the system has mmap.

353	cancels	open	wish	low		* A bulk cancel command using the MODE CANCEL interface.
361	cancels	open	wish	low		* There are various available patches for Cancel-Lock and an Internet draft; support should be added to INN for both generation and verification (definitely optional and not on by default at this point).
408	cancels	open	wish	low		* Look at adding some kind of support for MODE CANCEL via network sockets and fixing up the protocol so that it could possibly be standardized (the easiest thing to do would probably be to change it into a CANCEL command).
Items: 3 Items open: 0 0.000000 (3 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
400	cmsg	open	wish	low		* There is a fundamental problem with the current design of the control.ctl file.
Items: 1 Items open: 0 0.000000 (1 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
331	cnfs	open	maintenance	high		* contrib/mkbuf and contrib/reset-cnfs.c should be combined into a utility for creating and clearing cycbuffs, perhaps combined with cnfsheadconf, and the whole thing moved into storage/cnfs rather than frontends (along with cnfsstat).
346	cnfs	open	annoyance	high		* CNFS, if the cycbuff is larger than 2GB and it doesn't have large file support, reports a mysterious file not found error because it assumes all errors from stat are the result of the cycbuff not being found.
Items: 2 Items open: 0 0.000000 (2 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
411	complete reorg	open	maintenance	low	Big reorg	* Don't include any generated files in the CVS tree.
412	complete reorg	open	maintenance	low	Big reorg	* Don't include any of the generated man pages in the CVS tree, as an additional case of the above.
413	complete reorg	open	maintenance	low	Big reorg	* storage should be reserved just for article storage; the overview methods should be in a separate overview tree.
414	complete reorg	open	maintenance	low	Big reorg	* The split between frontends and backends is highly non-intuitive.
415	complete reorg	open	maintenance	low	Big reorg	* Add a separate utils directory for things like convdate, shlock, shrinkfile, and the like.
416	complete reorg	open	maintenance	low	Big reorg	* The lib directory possibly should be split so that it contains only code always compiled and part of INN, and the various replacements for possibly missing system routines are in a separate directory (such as replace).
417	complete reorg	open	maintenance	low	Big reorg	* The doc directory really should be broken down further by type of documentation or section or something; it's getting a bit unwieldy.
418	complete reorg	open	maintenance	low	Big reorg	* Untabify and reformat all of the code according to a consistent coding style which would then be enforced for all future check-ins.

294	compliance	open	improvement	high	2.4	A complete audit of INN against the latest NNTP protocol draft.
389	compliance	open	wish	low		* INN's header handling needs to be checked against the current USEFOR draft.
Items: 2 Items open: 0 0.000000 (2 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
290	conf	open	improvement	high	2.4	Reimplement the inn.conf parser.
293	conf	open	improvement	high	2.4	Replace the current innshellvars.pl file.
298	conf	open	improvement	high	2.5	* Add support for groups, nesting, and vectors to the new configuration parsing code.
299	conf	open	improvement	high	2.5	* Convert readers.conf and storage.conf (and related configuration files) to use the new parsing system and break out program-specific sections of inn.conf into their own groups.
302	conf	open	improvement	high	2.6	* A unified configuration file combining the facilities of newsfeeds, incoming.conf, and innfeed.conf, but hopefully more readable and easier for new INN users to edit.
303	conf	open	improvement	high	2.6	* Convert all remaining INN configuration files to the new parsing infrastructure.
362	conf	open	wish	low		* It would be nice to be able to reload inn.conf (although difficult, due to the amount of data that's generated from it and stashed in various places).
370	conf	open	wish	low		* Provide an innshellvars equivalent for Python.
387	conf	open	improvement	high		* inndstart and startinnfeed ideally shouldn't parse any configuration files at all, but instead should get all the information they need from elsewhere.
402	conf	open	wish	low		* Install wizards.

297	doc	open	improvement	high	2.5	All of INN's documentation should be written in POD, with text and man pages generated from the POD source.
308	doc	open	improvement	high	H prior.	* Add man pages for the default authenticators, as well as documentation on the readers.conf external program interface.
309	doc	open	improvement	high	H prior.	* Add documentation of adding and removing CNFS cycbuffs.
315	doc	open	improvement	high		* Add man pages for all libinn interfaces.
316	doc	open	improvement	high		* Better documentation of and support for UUCP feeds.
317	doc	open	improvement	high		* Everything installed by INN should have a man page.
318	doc	open	improvement	high		* Document the internal formats of the various overview methods, CNFS, timehash, and timecaf.
319	doc	open	improvement	high		* Add documentation for slave servers.
320	doc	open	improvement	high		* Write complete documentation for all of our extensions to RFC 977 or RFC 1036, preferrably in a format that could be suitable for future inclusion into new revisions of the RFCs.

295	filter	open	improvement	high	2.5	The interface to embedded filters needs to be reworked.
296	filter	open	improvement	high	2.5	Add a generic, modular anti-spam and anti-abuse filter, off by default, but coming with INN and prominently mentioned in the INSTALL documentation.
380	filter	open	wish	low		* The Tcl filtering support code has undergone serious bitrot and needs some work to fix it and make it work with modern versions of Tcl and the current version of INN.
390	filter	open	wish	low		* The innd filter should be able to specify additional or replacement groups into which an article should be filed, or even spool the article to a local disk file rather than storing it.
394	filter	open	wish	low		* Traffic classification as an extension of filtering.
Items: 5 Items open: 0 0.000000 (5 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
289	history	open	improvement	high	2.4	* Complete rewrite of history.
Items: 1 Items open: 0 0.000000 (1 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
311	incoming	open	improvement	high	H prior.	* Add authenticated Path support, based on the current USEFOR draft or the behavior of some other servers (such as Diablo).
325	incoming	open	maintenance	high		* frontends/pullnews and contrib/backupfeed solve the same problem; the best ideas of both should be unified into one script.
363	incoming	open	wish	low		* remembertrash currently rejects and remembers articles with syntax errors as well as things like unwanted newsgroups and unwanted distributions, which means that if a peer sends you a bunch of mangled articles, you'll then also reject the correct versions of the articles from other peers.
367	incoming	open	wish	low		* Allow some way of accepting articles regardless of the Date header, even if it's far into the future.
372	incoming	open	wish	low		* ctlinnd reload incoming.conf could return a count of the hosts that failed, or even better a list of them.
Items: 5 Items open: 0 0.000000 (5 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
304	incoming, outgoing	open	improvement	high	2.6	* INN really should be capable of both sending and receiving a headers-only feed (or even an overview-only feed) similar to Diablo and using it for the same things that Diablo does, namely clustering, pull-on-demand for articles, and the like.
Items: 1 Items open: 0 0.000000 (1 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
343	inn	open	serious-defect	high		* INN's startup script should be sure to clean out old lock files and PID files for innfeed.
369	inn	open	wish	low		* INN currently uses hash tables to store the active file internally.
Items: 2 Items open: 0 0.000000 (2 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
371	inncheck,compliance	open	wish	low		* inncheck should check the syntax of all the various files that are returned by LIST commands, since having those files present with the wrong syntax could result in non-compliant responses from the server.
Items: 1 Items open: 0 0.000000 (1 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
338	innd/art.c	open	maintenance	high		* Split out the keyword generation code in innd/art.c into its own source file and fix the broken way that keyword generation is now configured or unconfigured in INN.
Items: 1 Items open: 0 0.000000 (1 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
347	innfeed	open	annoyance	high		* Some servers reject some IHAVE, TAKETHIS, or CHECK commands with 500 syntax errors (particularly for long message IDs), and innfeed doesn't handle this particularly well at the moment.
358	innfeed	open	wish	low		* innfeed does odd things to Xref slaving if it ever goes to a backlog, since it then starts sending articles out of order and this can confuse reading clients.
Items: 2 Items open: 0 0.000000 (2 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
375	innreport	open	wish	low		* The by-domain statistics innreport generates for nnrpd count all local connections (those with no "." in the hostname) in with the errors as just "?".
Items: 1 Items open: 0 0.000000 (1 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
330	install	open	maintenance	high		* putman.sh should be merged into support/install-sh (which would mean giving up any pretext of using the standard install-sh script, but that should be fine).
Items: 1 Items open: 0 0.000000 (1 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
288	ipv6	open	improvement	high	2.4	* There are some outstanding issues with the IPv6 that should be examined, see doc/IPv6-info.

357	logs	open	wish	low		* ctlinnd flushlogs currently renames all of the log files.
Items: 1 Items open: 0 0.000000 (1 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
351	news.daily	open	wish	low		* There have been a few requests for the ability to programmatically set the subject of the report generated by news.daily, with escapes that are filled in by the various pieces of information that might be useful.
Items: 1 Items open: 0 0.000000 (1 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
291	nnrpd	open	improvement	high	2.4	Switch at least nnrpd over to using the new wildmat routines.
332	nnrpd	open	maintenance	high		* nnrpd's code to get load averages should be pulled out into libinn and made to use configure results.
337	nnrpd	open	maintenance	high		* Convert nnrpd to use daemonize rather than its own daemon code.
342	nnrpd	open	annoyance	high		* LIST NEWSGROUPS should probably only list newsgroups that are marked in the active file as valid groups.
354	nnrpd	open	wish	low		* Sven Paulus's patch for nnrpd volume reports should be integrated.
355	nnrpd	open	wish	low		* Lots of people encrypt X-Trace in various ways.
356	nnrpd	open	wish	low		* Validity checks on the poster's address.
360	nnrpd	open	wish	low		* nnrpd should have support for fixing broken Date headers supplied by clients, although now that most clients have been fixed for Y2K this may be less of a problem.
364	nnrpd	open	wish	low		* Additional limits for readers.conf: Limit on concurrent parallel reader streams, limit on KB/second download (preliminary support for this is already in), and a limit on maximum posted articles per day (tied in with the backoff stuff?).
373	nnrpd	open	wish	low		* nnrpd could use sendfile(2), if available, to send articles directly to the socket (for those storage methods where to-wire conversion is not needed).
374	nnrpd	open	wish	low		* Somebody should look at keeping the "newsgroups" file more accurate (e.g.
381	nnrpd	open	wish	low		* Revisit support for aliased groups and what nnrpd does with them.
382	nnrpd	open	wish	low		* More details as to why a message ID is bad would be useful to return to the user, particularly for rnews, inews, etc.
384	nnrpd	open	wish	low		* nnrpd's NNTP command parsing interacts poorly with AUTHINFO and passwords containing spaces.
391	nnrpd	open	wish	low		* Add authentication via SASL to nnrpd.
396	nnrpd	open	wish	low		* Allow nnrpd to spawn long-running helper processes.
Items: 16 Items open: 0 0.000000 (16 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
310	outgoing	open	improvement	high	H prior.	* INN shouldn't flush all feeds (particularly all program feeds) on newgroup or rmgroup.
329	outgoing	open	maintenance	high		* send-nntp and nntpsend basically do the same thing; send-nntp could probably be removed (possibly with some extra support in nntpsend for doing simpler things).
393	outgoing	open	wish	low		* Feed control, namely allowing your peers to set policy on what articles you feed them (not just newsgroups but max article size and perhaps even filter properties like "non-binary").
399	outgoing	open	wish	low		* One would ideally not want to offer articles to a peer that that peer has offered to us (even if we didn't accept them from that peer).
Items: 4 Items open: 0 0.000000 (4 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
300	storage	open	improvement	high	2.5	* The recovery tools currently need serious work in the area of recovering overview for a single newsgroup using tradspool, analyzing a broken overview file (rather than just deleting it and regenerating it) and doing things like regenerating a .IDX from a .DAT for tradindexed, and renumbering the active file if it gets out of sync with the article numbers on disk.
339	storage	open	maintenance	high		* Break the CNFS code, the tradspool code, and the tradindexed code into multiple source files to make it easier to understand the logical divisions of the code.
344	storage	open	serious-defect	high		* Various things may break when trying to use data written while compiled with large file support using a server that wasn't so compiled (and vice versa).
345	storage	open	serious-defect	high		* makedbz should be more robust in the presence of malformed history lines, discarding with them or otherwise dealing with them.
366	storage	open	wish	low		* Allow generation of arbitrary additional information that could go in overview by using embedded Perl or Python code.
383	storage	open	wish	low		* Support putting the active file and history file in different directories without hand-editing a bunch of files.
392	storage	open	wish	low		* When articles expire out of a storage method with self-expire functionality, the overview and history entries for those articles should also be expired immediately.
397	storage	open	wish	low		* The tradspool storage method requires assigning a number to every newsgroup (for use in a token).
398	storage	open	wish	low		* The locking of the active file leaves something to be desired; in general, the locking in INN (for the active file, the history file, spool updates, overview updates, and the like) needs a thorough inspection and some cleanup.
403	storage	open	wish	low		* One ideally wants to be able to easily convert between different overview formats or storage methods, refiling articles in place.
Items: 10 Items open: 0 0.000000 (10 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
365	timecaf	open	wish	low		* timecaf should have more configurable parameters (at the least, how frequently to switch to a new CAF file should be an option).
Items: 1 Items open: 0 0.000000 (1 with no hours) Items feedback: 0 0.000000
314	tradspool	open	improvement	high	H prior.	* ctlinnd renumber for tradspool no longer works, in the sense that it doesn't detect and fix differences between the files present on disk and the low and high water marks in the active file or in the overview.
341	tradspool	open	serious-defect	high		* tradspool currently uses stdio to write out tradspool.map, which can cause problems if more than 256 file descriptors are in use for other things (such as incoming connections or tradindexed overview cache).
