CDSware TODO list

We'll rewrite the offending part. We've actually been thinking about
replacing the bibsched daemon behaviour via a more traditional
``apachectl start/stop'' kind of approach.

Oui, BibFormat a le problème de multilinguisme, car il a été développé
avant... il faudra que l'on y ajoute la langue comme paramètre dans
plusieurs endroits.
* collection cache

The problem is connected to temporary cache. If it happens again,
please just try to reload the page after a while. We'll fix the
problem to prevent it from happening.
* of=nn for the search engine

don't you think it's difficult for a user to search with xml output. the user
don't see in xml - "mode", how many records are found. i think, it's helpful
to write the hit number at the beginning of the first xml data record.
what do you think about this?
* the Personalization part is not I18N-ized yet, and there are not
very many personalization options. We plan to expand it at some
point in the future, like a possibility to select default
language, default number of hits per page, default sorting, etc.

* bibsched task sleeping sometimes cannot be done directly
Sometimes when you try to make bibsched task sleeping, you cannot do
it because MySQL is active for the task elsewhere:
_mysql_exceptions.ProgrammingError: (2014, "Commands out of
sync;You can't run this command now")

I think so. WebSearch caches certain things and it may not update the
information on which records belong to which collections. The caching
issue is being rethought in the current WebSearch, maybe I'll add a
forcing option for date/time lookup or something. I've added a note
in my TODO file to do more investigations. In any case, you may run
`apachectl graceful' each hour in a cron job.

There is no predefined functionality in CDSware to do these things
yet. However, we have had a similar feature request from another
installation, with an even stronger requirement not to permit guest
users at all, for example. It is in our TODO list to introduce a
flexible user registration system in order to be able to handle
various open-close usage scenarios.
Note that if you are mostly interested in not letting untrusted people
submit documents, then you may take advantage of an already existing
access control mechanism and restrict submission to trusted users
only, as explained briefly in the WebSubmit Admin Guide at
<http://cdsware.cern.ch:8000/admin/websubmit/guide/protection.en.html>.
