configuration/installation: unix: - look into getting perl scripts to run correctly on any operating system (i.e. the #! stuff) -- those in cgi-bin particularly need to work on windows too (#!perl on windows, #!/use/bin/perl on linux) -- perlrun manpage - add fastcgi to distribution windows: - use Installshield to create windows packages - wait for George to decide what he's going to do about InstallShield - call server version of cd-rom executable 'standard' and other version 'backup' (or maybe 'gold' and 'silver'?) - fix up Local Library - somehow need to have option of old server and single-user (or Gold and Silver?) within same executable. tidy up text versions of macro files look further into creating images containing non-latin1 characters create default collection images at build time with gimp script fix query caching - do caching in receptionist, finish off cross collection searching, remove any remaining phrase-searching stuff in queryaction - maybe wait for mgpp before worrying about this create default images/macros for remaining Dublin core metadata elements - maybe have a separate macro file for all these things to make it easier to add to write a gzip/bzip/zip/tar plugin and take any remaining gzip stuff out of rest of plugins look at speeding up acronym extraction code, add more options create a general classifier for doing stuff like NPepaList.pm does. should handle things like HDLs organization classification, HDLs magazines section etc. for gsdl-3.0 - extend configuration file syntax - tidy up all the format stuff - replace DocumentImages, DocumentTitles and DocumentHeading with DocumentColumn stuff (develop New_Config_Format-branch CVS branch) - tidy up classifiers, make collection-specific ones more object oriented (probably create classifier base class), add section and compact options instead of using separate classifiers - get classifiers using same option passing code as plugins now use - sort out arrows/paging of browserclasses (for queryaction too!) DocumentBottomArrows?? - want arrows at bottom as well as top of pages for gberg type collections - tidy up automatic help text - need to work out type of collection at build time - get rid of the hacky HelpNoDocs, HelpBibDocs and HelpBookDocs config file entries - fix up collection specific metadata - content negotiation?? "chapters" = "Kapiteln" "section titles" = "Sektionstiteln" "entire books" = "ganzen Büchern" - add ability to use a separate formatstring for each index when displaying query results - make interface languages and encodings easier to add. defining languages and encodings should be done in main.cfg (or collect.cfg for collection specific control). should also define: - which encodings a given language may use -- i.e. the preferences page shouldn't let you select an encoding that doesn't work with the currently selected language - which encoding is the default for a given language - which language is the default. tidy things up so that get_collectinfo is only called once per collection (at init time for fastcgi) - it's currently being called all over the place. maybe load collection info into recpt.collectinfo structure. load in as required for each collection so structure would slowly fill up with all collections when using fastcgi add Language metadata to all documents by default?? usage page - Matthias Dalmeier create a usage page from ftp logs (build on ftp_stats.pl script) tidy up ohist to remove need for public_html/ohist stuff WebPlug - optimize to run reasonably quickly? - Currently works (I think) but processes each frame within each combination of a frameset - this means some html documents are processed hundreds of times and it takes forever to build a small collection update collections - set up auto-updating where needed - csbib - tidbits - tcc - mail updating - niupepa - gberg sort documents between importing and building get polling for new collections to work when using fastcgi ipc and unesco collections have no 'about' text (maybe others too). compiler warnings windows cd-rom version - message in browser selection box to say that IE isn't compatible with 'silver' version (instead of simply greying out selection of IE as currently happens). - look into Belgium bug ("Netscape was unable to create a network socket connection... " -- NT 4.0 -- no internet connection -- run programs/accessories/communication/internet connection wizard, answer LAN to all questions -- bug appears to be present if you get above error message when attempting to access 127.0.0.1 -- look into testing for this problem from InstallShield, maybe try reading from 127.0.0.1 and see if it times out? look into need for _LITTLE_ENDIAN flag in mg make all external nzdl.org pages plain html rather than macro pages. remove all related images from distribution ohists RealAudio server appears to be broken capability to view actual BibTeX entries of csbib (and maybe other?) collections scripts for installing w3mir - a .bat version of davids install.sh files implement proper unicode sorting within classifiers get file locking to work on non GSDL_USE_IOS_H compilers (VC++ 6.0) produce an error message when no "built" collections are available (currently only produce an error when no collections at all are available) have another go at getting gsdl_system() function to work properly on windows 95 (for end-user collection building)
