== SERIOUS!!! ==========================================================
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- check in user:input() if data is in utf8 (using RE_UTF8) in order to produce
  proper error messages before it is processed further and may end up in
  net/jabber's emit() where it is dropped silently (see CHARS_XMPP.log)

- make polly use oauth

- remote psycers do not always show up properly via jabber client + MUC

- /m freenode:symlynx hey
    Sorry, _message_private is not supported by the IRC gateway.
  huh? wasn't that once the point to make them? debug...

- msg from irc to remote psyc user doesn't work:
	ERQ could not resolve "symlynX".
	(it tries to resolve the irc:nick)

- psyced's memory of places joined is weird -- and neither the default
  place from psyced.ini, nor the autojoin rooms in the irc client seem
  to make a difference

- "invalid context" errors happen where local rooms send _context
  as string uniform while local users expect the object pointer. huh?

LPC
- large submissions into scratchpad can crash the driver
- configure script fails on libidn now being in glibc
- buffer stuff in erq

== NEXT RELEASE ========================================================
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
+ active certs: have data/host/psyc.host.name.pem contain tls cert
  for this host, so when that file exists psyced automatically tries
  a tls_init_connection() when psyc-connecting that host and checks if
  the certificate is still correct. it also does on incoming tls.

- net/jabber reissues unnecessary friend() requests whenever a user simply
  reorganizes friends into other roster groups

- MASQUERADE nicks show up with recipient's nick sometimes. bad. vars were
  "_nick":"shouldbe","_nick_place":"welcome","_nick_local":"reallywas"
  it should have shown either shouldbe or reallywas, but it showed my own.

- interserver xmpp /me expects no leading newline, but pidgin recently
  started sending one

- autorefetch twitter isnt working
  http/fetch is too complicated. throw out the queue and callback logic. kiss!

? support tls multiplexing on all suitable ports

? bugs in psyced install procedure

- pointless to keep gentoo files in this git, if they can't be updated
  separately

+ teach net/smtp to trust localhost etc.
+ teach net/smtp to ask recipient object if spam rules are to be applied

== currently being inspected ===========================================
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- https://psyced.org/~lynX should use web browser language, not mine

- install.sh/configure doesn't *ensure* libidn is available

- newbies are allowed to open new owned rooms
  fippo sagt: ergo brauchst du nen exit-hook der owner löscht wenn der n00b-owner aus dem raum geht

- jabber logout isn't announced or offline avail isn't processed
  ... apparently other side did not logout properly, as it doesn't happen always

- neither USE_THE_NICK or USE_AUTOALIAS work flawlessly. in the case of
  the latter, _nick either displays without uniform for remote people,
  or it occasionally shows a room's nick instead of the user's nick.
  they way to solve this is to get rid of _nick in the protocol, it seems.
  therefore we need to upgrade all servers to properly be able to display
  _source, _target and _context in psyctext before we can start migrating
  templates and removing _nick vars. during this tradition we keep the
  USE_THE_NICK code running. several "invite issues" should be solved once
  nicks are gone.

- psyced.org tells me: Ungültige Route nach psyc://psyced.org
    im psyc://psyced.org/~lynx Context festgestellt.

? who's gonna clean up the mess of having too many websites ?

- when provided with a _focus pointing to yourself, _request_execute will
  still try to forward a command to the "current place" - a uniform or
  object is passed to parsecmd(data, dest) but dest is ignored later in cmd()

- _source_relay should point to tg, not foo (only happens with local users)
	.
	:_source.psyc://x-net.hu/~foo
	:_target.psyc://3e44aa49.XXX:-52801/
	:_source_relay.psyc://x-net.hu/~foo

	:_nick.tg
	:_time_INTERNAL.1239787956
	:_nick_target.psyc://x-net.hu/~foo
	_message_private
	halo
	.

? should /load inform that errors go to the console?

> SPYC
- net/spyc depends on libpsyc being compiled into the driver
  if it is available, it will be activated passively
- #define USE_SPYC if you want outgoing connections to require libpsyc

_ to debug verification, define USE_VERIFICATION
_ to spend an extra round trip time negotiating, define USE_FEATURES

> INVITE ISSUES
- remote /invite is shown without uniform, just #nick_place
  remote invite thus doesn't work for ircers..
    beta's lynx invites psyc://psyced.org/~gynx into TEST.
    gynx thinks it has to join #TEST on psyced.org, not on beta.
  only +follow behaves correctly, but clients don't use that
- invites von remote für remote (goodadvice/~fippo an psyced/~chr nach @psyc)
  werden nicht als lokal aufgelöst
  ein follow führt dazu, dass die person im nichts landet...
  someplace @> «psyc://goodadvice.pages.de/~fippo» fippo lädt Dich nach psyc://psyced.org/@elsewhere ein.
	      /f
	      brain <>
? invite-only places: does a double /invite uninvite people!?
  (and is it a feature or a bug?)
- ircinvite() crashes when given wrong arguments
+ _notice_invitation with a _tag could allow other entities than the
  explicitly invited one to follow suit
- /invite's can get lost because they are transmitted by UDP unless
  there is a circuit already (should it be a _request!?)
- /invite should do remote echo like _message_private, not local

> REMOVE NICKNAMES FROM PROTOCOL
? remote uniforms could be passed around in the psyced as parse_uniform
  arrays rather than as strings. this opens up the possibility to have
  a stringprepped+lowercased version of the uniform for comparisons.
  also this could be used as a key in a general hash of known remote objects
  avoiding unnecessary parsing and ensuring uniqueness of such arrays.
  doesn't that also mean we can compare remote users simply by comparing the
  array pointers? and if so, does it mean we don't have to differentiate
  between objects and arrays when comparing identity of two entities?
  in fact - we already don't need to do that for strings either - thus
  if we want to introduce arrays instead of strings we must ensure we can
  compare them without an extra objectp() distinction.
  hmm.. not sure about this idea, but we can move forward anyway:
+ REMOVE ALL _nick VARS and extract nick from uniforms
  or rather, let raliases resolve all uniforms to nicknames (uni2nick)
? support addressing of uniform portions by psyctext entity syntax
? shouldn't it be display-side job to decide how a [_source] is to be shown -
  nick/alias when a friend (or local?), full uniform when unknown...
  so all [_nick] should simply be replaced by [_source] etc.
! implementing the latter approach with the uni2nick callback strategy!
> AUTOALIASES & ALIASES FOR PLACES
+ /set aliases auto
    use temporary aliases for people in places,
    keep them in [r]aliases mappings only, not in v("aliases")
    copy them over only when the user decides to have private conversation
  see also http://about.psyc.eu/nickspace
? can we even afford to have a setting to *disable* this behaviour?
+ aliases for places
  we have had requests for a way to shorten or at least maintain (bookmark)
  addresses of remote rooms. i wonder if we should go ahead and code it in
  the next obvious way (polluting the output of the /alias command even more)
  or we should look at presence/subscribe integration first (where the
  distinction of users and rooms becomes less relevant).
! whenever a _context is output, its nick will be auto-added to raliases
problems that should disappear when we move away from _nick's:
- IRC shows "*** k kindly asks for your friendship." for remote
  friendship requests. eh! where's the uniform!?
- remote /topic shows wrong nick

> PRESENCE STATUS
+ all _status_person need to be upgraded to _status_presence with
  availability etc.
- _status_person_present appears as a chat msg for local jabber/server users.
  probably best to do the new _status_presence thing and fix this en passant
- presence rewrite problem mit lastaway
  12:48 !ve.symlynx.com Du sagst noonee: hmm
  12:48 !ve.symlynx.com Anwesend: noonee ist immer noch sichtlich verwirrt....
  12:48 !ve.symlynx.com Du sagst noonee: oook
  12:48 !ve.symlynx.com Anwesend: noonee ist immer noch sichtlich verwirrt....
- dexter fragt Dich: So, why does your client tell me "lynx is psyced!... " every time I send a message?
  net/jabber/user should be filtering _status_person_present
- da scheint ein template zu fehlen für irgendeine neue oder alte presence msg:
  net/jabber/user#whojarr       <message to='whojarr@example.org/Home' from='oops@example.org/irc' type='chat'><body>oops is a roving piker.</body></message>
* see also various PRESENCE boxes

> DECENTRALIZED STATE / PERSISTENT CONTEXT SLAVES
- do not send revision with every cast
+ we could use better integration of availability
  because right now CACHE_PRESENCE doesn't work
+ the next step after CACHE_PRESENCE: don't cache it in the end users,
  cache it in the cslaves - also do so for _state in general so we can
  keep profile data (PHOTOS!) of people in their respective cslaves
  rather than have them multiplied all over the local usership.
  yes, we need those photos (miniatures at least) for html friend lists
  see PROFILES for all the issues that depend on this one being fixed first.
- w("_warning_usage_set_language",
  "Mittels \"/set language de\" kann zur deutschen Sprache gewechselt werden.");
  cmdvars = ([ "_command_character" : cmdchar ]) ); ?
  cmdw() - makro für meldungen mit automatischem cmdvars?
  ... oder lieber eine saubere state implementierung, weswegen der cmdchar
      im state abgelegt ist, und jedes template darauf zugreifen darf?
	  "Usage: [_target->_character_command]command <arguments>"
      kann man ja erstmal im psyctext für _target supporten, remote state
      (_source, _context) kommt später.. see http://about.psyc.eu/Talk:Entity
+ fix up packet ids for apps that need to weed out dupes
  packet recovery is a whole different pair of shoes, not considered now
  but related to the big DECENTRALIZED STATE issue rather
? fippo suggests that keeping member lists in sync by revisions
  is useful even when we have packet ids in place.. some places it's okay
  to lose packets if at least the member lists are in sync

> GENERIC CONTEXT SUBSCRIBE / PRESENCE FOR ALL
+ krasser rewrite und fusion von raumanwesenheit und buddylists mittels
  generischer presence.. siehe auch http://about.psyc.eu/presence und..
schwer zu glauben, wir haben heute festgestellt, dass wir subscribe,
enter leave und friends nicht brauchen weil es alles sonderfälle von
asymmetrischer presence sind. also wenn der raum die presence eines
users abonniert kommt das aufs selbe raus wie ein autojoin - nur feiner
aufgedröselt - und wenn ein user den raum abonniert, dann kriegt er mit
was mit dem raum passiert.. das is dann zwar eher action als presence
aber wegetechnisch dasselbe. subscription states und contexte sind also
die antwort zur modellierung aller kommunikationsformen in einem chat.
see also http://about.psyc.eu/subscription
+ FRIEND_ECHO ... send echo for /fr type commands from recipient
		  not from own UNI (see #ifdef FRIEND_ECHO)
  ... or just rewrite it all into context subscription!!

> ARCHETYPE PLACES
? archetype.gen & other places: current privilege model sux.
	qAide(), qOwner(), boss(source), v("topic-user")
    .. how does this fit with confctrl, _duty and qAllowExternal?
    .. and in some cases you just want to check for isMember

>>>
- REGISTERED_USERS_ONLY does not behave properly on IRC port
  (see also NO_NEWBIES ... clean up and rename?)

? is it a good idea to use SIGS in user:cmd, too? not sure!!

- filter strangers is off by default, but we still seem to get a warning
+ we should put _trustee into messages to strangers, so we can talk with
  people who we have friends in common with, by default. *TRUST*
? in gui clients this could be a menu option in a buddy list:
  "contact a common friend" .. and of course when /surf'ing
________________________________________________________________________
== TOP DELEGATES for 1.0 ===============================================
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- world/static/index.html should be generated to contain applet port
- fix member list in applet
* see also APPLET, ANNOUNCEMENT, JABBER, FILE TRANSFER

+ login message that tells you about amount of pending/offered friendships etc.

+ Fix the /surf HTML code, see http://about.psyc.eu/Talk:Style
- /surf auf fippos async umstellen
- /surf von xmpp: klappt nicht mehr, es fehlt der _tag
  (schade weil es ja sogar die bilderschen zeigte.. ;))

- "Store Changes" in scratchpad using https: doesn't always work (even tho
  it is a GET, not a POST) - maybe this affects other uses of https as well?
  (currently disabled)

- registering target xmpp:lynx@ve.example.com isn't working. psyced
  reconnects by xmpp, then switches to psyc every time

- gino75 schließt mit Dir Freundschaft.
  why does it show account name instead of alias? (gmail)

- flood control over psyc - context-based? parser-based?
- message size control? how does this interact with trust?

? should _silent rooms say hello when entered manually?
  an irc client doesn't get _any_ response.  an irc client could in fact
  receive any sort of join notice even on subscribed entry.
  since it is legal on irc to request a topic of a place you aren't on,
  we can simply send topic (332) for subscribed places.
  then again some topics are too long, so maybe only on manual entry

- convert place:cmd's to SIGS where trivial

+ add _request_do for user:cmds where trivial

+ in the spirit of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development
  insert plenty of ASSERT() checks to make sure every software module
  does what it should, and only that. See also "See also" and
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development#External_links
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development
  inspired by http://programm.froscon.org/2007/events/42.de.html

- when rootMsg receives a message for a uniform that was probably intended
  to be different (like psyc://psyced/x instead of psyc://psyced/@x) we
  should generate a Malformed uniform warning
- when rootMsg receives unexpected messages we should return errors as
  they are helpful to client coders who just got something wrong.
? rootMsg should understand _request_version

- i was just testing for irc.. but anyhow, when a user tries to deliver
  something to psyc://beta.ve.symlynx.com/~lynx@psyc it should result
  in some decent error from beta, not try to resolve 'psyc' as a hostname

? /eject command that throws everyone out of a place - like a reload or
  restart used to do in the past. just in case you need to fix your
  member data...?

- the /kick sendmsg doesn't show up at the kickee's (makes it nastier
  than planned)

+ change of nick/identity / account deletion & transfer / redirection services
  ... we have forwarding by /set id now. it's a start.
+ /set redirect temp|perm in usercmd.i for users

- place redirection doesn't work for ircII: client still thinks i am in the
  first room while i get messages from the second room. when i type stuff
  to the first room, it doesn't even forward to the second.

- psyced spits out _error_rejected_relay_incoming for hostnames that have
  been redirected using SRV. x-net.hu's A record is still being checked.
    _psyc._tcp.x-net.hu has SRV record 0 0 14404 psyc.x-net.hu.

+ XEP-0227: Portable Import/Export Format for XMPP-IM Servers
________________________________________________________________________
== MINOR DELEGATES =====================================================
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- psyced generates tags for /enter operations. since these weren't generated
  by a client they may confuse a client. fippo thinks these _tag and _tag_reply
  should be removed from the messages before the get forwarded to clients.

- html code for manual pages should render better on mozilla (indenting error)
  (fixed on access.fmt - TODO on rest). dabei muss der <a name> in die zeile
  genommen werden und mit </a> abgeschlossen. automatisierbar!??
+ the old html code needs to be replaced by the kind that can be styled by css
+ find a way to generate manual from wiki?
+ generate help pages tuned to the needs of the user?
  (consider scheme, operator status and the like)

- move templates from source code into default/en/plain.textdb
  .. maybe write an automation to do it? they're just too many!

+ run more mailcast gateways!! on psyced.org? or elsewhere?
  like.. gateway for email alerts from http://www.dernewsticker.de/
  and google alerts obviously

- /log 9999999999 produces
        Numeric overflow: 1410065407 *= 4

- for irc whois _groups should be output using RPL_WHOISCHANNELS
  (groupsexpose)

- psyc/circuit:greet() reports all protocols w/out checking ports.h

- optimization: psyc/parse is resolving the incoming hostname for each single
  message.. this is wrong. resolution is enough once per tcp link (unless
  of course the other side is presenting us a new hostname..)
	fip suggests to cache connected hosts in sAuthenticated()
	and delete them again on connection shutdown.
? does spyc/* fix this?

- parse.i erlaubt es den begrüßungspunkt wegzulassen wenn man
  stattdessen ne leerzeile liefert. aua -- egal, wir wechseln auf spyc
- auch derb, er akzeptiert ".xx" statt "."

- /silence conversation doesn't filter /action

+ always requested by the channel inhabitants on traditional IRC:
  private gatebots for one user only - transport style... 

- /set color #000000 kind of 'fails' since hex2int("000000") is the
  same as hex2int("red"): zero. return -1 for non-hex? pretty logical.

- history export doesn't show masquerade nicknames
  in fact.. masquerade nicknames aren't shown in most output forms
  especially not for remote users
  but they should, everywhere except for irc maybe
- tg reports: the nick shows up like net/irc/user/#foo in IRC

+ add a _time_sent whenever messages are queued for later delivery, like
  when there is no circuit yet.

+ install.sh sollte lieber mit bereits ausgepackten tars operieren
  können damit man darin tweaken kann und install nochmal anwerfen kann
  ... geht bei psyclpc, aber nicht beim psyced

? generate psyced without cvs support if no cvs installed?
  ... bzw. git

> WINDOWS DISTRIBUTION
? how can we compile SRV into erq.exe? do we care?
? which open source installer for win to use?
? what to do about psyconf.. include perl or re-implement psyconf for win?

> TWITTER
+ resolve redirect-urls before forwarding to subscriptions, that means,
  calling http/fetch on http://tr.im/whatever urls until it no longer
  returns a 30x redirection code. [improves privacy btw, since all those
  redirect services log your access for the one who installs them]
________________________________________________________________________
== OTHER MAJOR TODOS ===================================================
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- occasionally double data sets for psyc://ve.symlynx.com/~nick and nick

+ provide a tuning for ACTIVE server-side PING (keepalive) ?
  see http://about.psyc.eu/Ping for explanations.

? 420 added place profiles for psyczilla! reorganize listDescription() ?

- warum wird eine mailto: uniform durch legal_name() gejagt?
   /m mailto:kuchn@example.dre.am moin.
  Filter: kuchn_kuchen_dre_am empfängt keine Nachrichten von Fremden.
  Du sagst mailto:kuchn@example.dre.am: moin.
  kuchn_kuchen_dre_am ist nicht registriert, wird daher nicht antworten können!

- restart mechanism is broken - doesn't save .o files in time etc
  betrifft nur user (oder nur mich) .. räume sind aktuell

+ redo _flag_disable_info_session as other default of /set greeting auto

? apply more TAGGING (tagged callbacks also avoid the monster switches)

> CIRCUITRY
- _request_circuit_shutdown isnt issued or doesnt arrive
  or is the disconnected-detection buggy?
+ net/circuit:pushback TODO:
    // alright. so this is where we want to do something
    // differently, like remember that this host didn't work.
? another interesting aspect about circuits.. if you retry a lot, then
  you don't give dyndns a chance to get updates through. psyced gets
  stuck trying an old ip until retries are over. but shouldn't dyndns
  work anyway? why is this happening? (happened for tjgillies on EC2)
- as long as people have dead host friends in their data, psyced keeps on
  trying to connect those hosts. better _failure treatment is one side of
  the medal, but muve should also be more aware of hosts it has already
  given up hope about (and maybe wait for something more personal like a
  _message to trigger a retry.. or downgrade the host to udp delivery).
? maybe disabling udp-for-notices wasnt a smart idea after all!?
  it was supposed to make debug life easier, but maybe that's not true
? two approaches to address the issue:
    ? move parts of the ppl data structure into context masters,
      then have a flag remember when a member induced a failure and
      keep him quarantined until he is seen as being alive again
    ? simpler: keep the distribution tree intact, but the last
      host with the repeatedly failing outgoing connection provides
      occasional failure reports to all involved senders, then silently
      drops things that were undeliverable (in the case of packet ids,
      the broken recipient still has the possibility to recover the next day)
- Repeatedly unable to reach whatever.example.com in order to deliver a
  _message_private to 0. Why does it say "0" here.. ouch.
? what to do when hosts talk faster then we resolve them?
  see around _error_invalid_host_slow

> TRUST1
- _request_circuit_trust needs to check some challenge, or it can be
  tricked by replay. so for now only use it over safe networks!!
? generic SASL for xmpp, psyc and irc?
> TRUST2
? TRUSTED_HOSTS are permitted to relay, this allows all users from that host to
  relay.. not so cool.
+ the trust implementation needs to learn to distinguish host trust and
  person trust, yet understand the interaction and develop maths for it

> SCHEMES AND SERVICES
+ allow for icq: rather than xmpp:XXX@icq etc.
+ implement *.service.* and *.scheme.* etc according to
  http://about.psyc.eu/Directory_Service - so that mailto: works for any server
+ move the .psyc.eu suffix into a #define
+ implement forward-to-mailto-when-offline as a generic forwarding feature

> FOLLOW INVITES
+ /set follow all|friends|none
  allow your friends to invite you (and make you follow) into a room
  so that they can immediately start talking to a group of people like
  in a cc: mail without them having to be physically present at first
+ then again, why not just let _trust decide if your friend is friend enough?
? AUTOFOLLOW by CHANNELS?
  consider however, that once channels are available, you can always
  create a subchannel of your self context, containing only the friends
  you want to have a conversation with, and poof you can start talking!

>>>
- ok, x@y notation sollte mind. dots im host überprüfen,

    C:xmpp:ircnet · ircnet does not resolve
    C:xmpp:euirc · euirc does not resolve
    In BuHa fragt el_presidente: was soll da passieren?

> ERROR HANDLING
- reject and handle _failures
  suspend flag on error? like this: when you receive errors, that a user or a
  host could not be reached, then the castmsg'ing entity could flag this
  candidate as 'suspended' or 'temporarily unreachable' - and automatically
  change this status with the first sign of life from that entity or server.
  this would save friendship status and room presence across downtimes.
  : added PPL_NOTIFY_INACTIVE to peers.h but actually this needs a more
    generic solution for all contexts. see krasser rewrite.

? uni.c kümmert sich nicht um castmsg(), weswegen presence zurecht immer
  zur UNI gehen, aber leider auch raumcasts. im falle von jabber UNRs
  ist das sogar ein problem. und was ist, wenn zwei UNRs von derselben UNI
  im raum sein wollen? liefern wir die UNR doch noch in einer var mit?
  und wenn es um das eintragen in die members gehen, verwenden wir tatsächlich
  mal die _location statt der UNI die im source steht?

- fehler im _echo von messages mit _action, da sollte 'lynX zuckt' stehen.
fritz ~> :zuckt
fritz: fritz zuckt.
  active.c zeile 247.. müsste man da vars neu zusammensetzen mit
  _nick_target usw? oder sollte einfach irgendwo vorher ein copy() hin?
   das betrifft sowohl jabber als auch remote psyc
   fippo: TAGGING koennte dieses problem bald loesen
   wie denn? was würde reply() anders machen?

> PRESENCE
- eigene mood & availability erscheinen nicht im showStatus
  (description schon, aber das war's noch nicht)
- irc access receives _status_away notices for each message they send to a
  local away user. shouldn't it be only one? nei asks if it could be a
  regular irc away code.
- detach attach offline online etc. cmds undocumented as yet
- _request_status_person receives no availability, desc and mood
? dont send presence info to strangers
  <fippo> sollte nicht sein
  <lynX> man kann _request_status oder sowas senden, und kriegt antwort
? dont accept presence info from strangers
  man kann eine passende _notice machen und wird sogar als friend gelistet
- persistent_presence does not store description and mood

>>>
- unnecessary refriendship requests
  wenn ich mit Alias: xmpp:symlynx@example.ccc.de = JYNX /friend mache kommt:
symlynx schließt mit Dir Freundschaft.
JYNX möchte mit Dir Freundschaft schließen.
  immerhin funktioniert danach alles trotzdem.
  das ist nen alias-problem das schon laenger besteht. genauso zeigt
  net/irc manchmal noch nicks statt uniforms an.

- C:xmpp:jabber.ccc.de  Invalid Packets Recieved  nach:
     <message to='#psyc@ve.example.com/lynx' type='error' from='oops@example.ccc.de/Sisko' xml:lang='en'>

     </error>
     </message>
  anscheinend wird dieser error nicht verarbeitet und löst einen runtime
  fehler aus welcher auf dem jabber socket zum abort führt (warum ist ldmud
  immernoch so doof runtime fehler auf sockets auszugeben!??) - leider ist
  das entsprechende debug nachm reboot weg. der error sollte als
  _failure_unavailable_recipient an den place durchgereicht werden, welcher
  den teilnehmer dann kicken würde.

- is pop3 still working? i'm getting funny auth problem (hello async)

	notiz: manchmal wird der weggang sowohl an den lokalen als auch
	      an den remote fip rausgecastet. soll aber nur an
	      remote fip.
	      interessanterweise passiert das nur beim weggang, nicht

> PROGRAMMABLE USER IDENTIFICATIONS & MULTIPLE CLIENT INTERFACES
- experimental rename fails sometimes:
        Attempt to rename to existing object '~nautilutz'
  possible fix: separate user identity from user access interface
+ fippo insists on the uni/client split and saga has been asking for years..
  = separate user identity from user access interface
  but it is a messy piece of work (i tried to do it and stashed the branch)
+ and it allows for multiple jabber resources, of course
  (but it means we need to actively support UNRs for UNLs in entities)
? one day we could have a person.gen to create all sorts of user
  objects from, but it sure is confusing that each of them still needs to
  be able to call upon the various protocols..  this may either need a
  seperation into user/client/access and person/identification objects, or
  the needs for variation of person code is small enough that we can merge it
  all together as we have done up to now, and customize it dynamically
  using /set commands or web forms, which is itself a flexibility plus.
  in this case a few ifs are probably better than rewriting everything for
  optimized bytecode. if you want optimization you should write yourself
  a UNI server in c++ anyway...  ;)
? consider also what CONTEXT CHANNEL requirements the new identity has

> WHITELISTING & BLACKLISTING on the SERVER TRUST WEB
+ enable the #ifdef such that dialback from new hosts is not automatically
  replied to, but a _request_trust_manual is sent to the monitor.
  see also http://about.psyc.eu/Talk:Encryption
? the admins have a new '/server trust' command to whitelist a host
+ just because a cert tells us the server is who he is doesn't mean we like him
+ manual whitelisting triggers a server-friendcast telling the network
  of server friends, that a new server has been whitelisted ( _notice_trust )
+ these friendcasts can be shown in the respective @monitor places again
  and either request manual interaction from the admin ( _request_adopt_trust )
  or -depending on trust levels and admin settings- automatically whitelist
  the host, too ( _info_adopt_trust )
+ manual ip blocking may also be server-friendcast, or maybe only when it was
  effectively applied to an ip and threw somebody out, not the entire mask.
  this uses the same methods as above, only with unfriendlier trust values.
+ again, this could cascade a blacklisting on other servers, too
+ the _info family should be used exclusively as a light form of _warn
  when the server tells you about things that have happened automatically,
  like an automatic blacklisting. _info_adopt_trust or something.

> CHARSET
+ ensure UTF-8 at parsing time on all inputs so we can
 a) remove the action limitation:
- when an umlaut appears in speakaction, then the entire line is not
  successfully converted to target charset. very weird. current solution:
  speakactions are not permitted to have utf8 chars.
 b) no longer necessary if we ensure utf8 input:
? use the ldmud charset features to avoid illegal codes to be output to
  telnet users.
? http://spaceboyz.net/scharset.html
  rede gerade mit equinox darüber. die änderung von 011 ist durch.
  vielleicht wechselt er ja von SCHARSET auf SET CHARSET
- CONSOLE_CHARSET remains an issue, because some debug outputs or runtime
  errors will want to %O arbitrary data which will not be utf-8 compliant,
  so it is still necessary that CONSOLE_CHARSET learns to be easy about it

== PSYC 1.0alpha =======================================================
> THE BIG METHOD RENAME
- shouldn't all _tag_reply be renamed into the more generic _tag_relay ?
  i mean.. pushback setting _tag_reply is semantically wrong whereas
  setting _tag_relay makes sense. the MMP spec has abandoned _tag_reply
  in favor of _tag_relay.
- methodennamen in japsyc wenigstens anpassen, selbst wenns nicht 100% liefe
? change psyc syntax for _message, move text into sth like _data or _text?
      --> re-introduce _conversation ? yes! _message_behaviour is wrong
? v()storage-variablennamen global in psycige namen umbenennen
  -> gut für _request_retrieve und _request_examine
  schlecht für /set speakaction: wird es /set _action_speak !?
+ umwandlung der internen v("speakaction") etc in psyc-konforme
  nomenklatur v("_action_speak") für einfache ausgabe an externe
  clients aber auch an die textdb.
+ when thinking on how to optimize method names do also read through
  all of the method parsers (msg() funcs, but also perlpsyc etc) and see which
  methods should belong to common families in order to simplify parsing.
+ also make up a masterplan (on a wiki page first?) on how to name all the
  #define's used in psyced, several of them going to get used in local.h etc.
  even if psyced.ini makes this a little less dramatic. oh yes, the defines
  should have the same names as the entries in psyced.ini if equivalent.
+ after /unsub and /unfriend we should also have /unset

> COMPACT METHODS and KEYWORD INHERITANCE
nothing can be as fast as fixing the method inheritance at psyc parsing time.
since we have to patch compact methods into long methods anyway, we know all
the methods the muve can handle - so we can handle inheritance before passing
the mc on to the core. we just provide a register_methods() for special
non-standard services within muve, and provide a way for the applications to
find out what the original mc was (mostly needed for link forwarding to
clients). example:
   lynx blurbs: also der parser kennt npp => _notice_person_present
   lynx blurbs: sollte _notice_person_present_at_all oder npp_at_all eintreffen
   lynx blurbs: merkt der parser, dass der muve code das nicht kennen wird
   lynx blurbs: und korrigiert das herunter bis zum _notice_person_present
in fact.. we can even simplify all abbrev() calls into mere == comparisons
or switches in our muve code, because they will never be needed!

>>>
- when a _target does not comply to the rules, a message needs to be replied
  to with an error. currently however, handling falls thru to rootMsg() like
  this:
    Circuit got _request_link to psyc://psyced.org/~White Spaced Username from psyc://10.20.30.40:-54925/
    Circuit got _request_input to psyc://psyced.org/~White Spaced Username from psyc://10.20.30.40:-54925/: Hi
    Circuit got _request_execute to psyc://psyced.org/~White Spaced Username from psyc://10.20.30.40:-54925/: QUIT

== PSYC 1.0 beta =======================================================
- should ignored people receive an echo for the sake of not being
  distinguishable from not ignored people? yes... but is a nasty change to do

> TYPE CHECKING AT PARSING TIME
- unless trustworthy > 4 all incoming vars should be checked for legal
  content, like chars in actions etc.. or maybe switch over the varnames
  and fix the obvious candidates.. if a method is non-standard (we will
  be aware of this by 1.0) we should check each var mentioned in the body.

> PSYC protokoll verbessern, dass implementationen einfach sein können:
+ die lookup_identification queue in place/basic ist vermutlich nicht
  notwendig, da (a) clients den zutritt zu einem raum von ihrer UNI
  vermitteln lassen können und (b) scripte ihre informationen für einen
  raum sowieso von der UNI relayen lassen können.. egal ob die UNI eine
  person oder ein $service ist. wir sollten das protokoll also in dieser
  hinsicht aufstocken, damit man nicht last-minute herausfinden muss,
  wer wer ist, was den raumcode brutal komplexer macht.
  problem dabei im falle (a) ist das verfluchte NAT, weswegen deine schwester
  sich als du ausgeben kann. aus diesem grund muss die UNL für jeden empfänger
  einen authentifizierungszusatz haben - das kann brachial der (outgoing)
  peerport sein, wobei der aber jederzeit auch wegfliegen kann, oder
  ein random erzeugter string. dieser wird von der UNI an den jeweiligen
  empfänger übermittelt, damit der ihn kontrollieren kann. idealerweise
  sollte man eine protokollsyntax finden, die gleichzeitig auch die jetzigen
  _tags beim _enter bedienen, auch wenn sie eine semantisch ein wenig
  verschiedene aufgabe erfüllen.	-lynX 2005
  anmerkung, diese auth-zusätze können einen digest-schutz enthalten: die UNI
  teilt dem empfänger ein shared secret mit, welches der client erzeugt hat.
  der shared secret kann selbst gesichert sein durch mehrere shared secrets
  zwischen client und UNI sowie UNI und empfänger. shared secret verwendet man
  zusammen mit MD5 oder SHA1, aber das ist wohl klar. und natürlich kann man
  alles das auch gleich so realisieren, dass es mit public key encryption geht,
  statt mit shared secrets in digests. digests sind lediglich handlicher,
  aber sie würden die tatsächlichen inhalte der nachricht nicht vor mitlesenden
  schützen.
? kann man die latenzeffekte von DNS auch besser berücksichtigen, und
  dadurch die queues in net/circuit vereinfachen? unwahrscheinlich, aber
  man könnte nochmal seinen grips drauf ansetzen.

> HISTORY
+ add timestamp search to lastlog.c, add timestamp-based /history and /log
  commands, maybe remove v("new") code. then again, it's quite efficient.
  see person.h for details.
+ allo fragt: lynx: what about history expiring?
+ allo sagt: yeah, and then a /history since yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm feature ;)
+ allo sagt: and a backlog_num_days feature instead of num lines
- /history erlaubt nicht nach headlines zu greppen (news)

- /x ALIAS aka xmpp:example@gmail.com results in
      "[_nick_target]" ist nicht erreichbar.
  example ist online + man hat friend status.

- "/i user@host" doesn't work for PSYC hosts. it gets rendered by
  net/jabber into jabber-only code, but is later sent over psyc.
  to fix this we need to do the queuing before the jabber code
  gets its hands on it?

? http://www.xmpp.org/rfcs/rfc3921.html#substates

? _nick_local and coolname are shown, but cannot be identified

> localMUC:
- MUC member list may be incorrect after psyced server restart..
  we should probably castmsg all local leaves at shutdown
- when entering places from XMPP-S2S own id appears both
  as "resource" and as uniform.
  unscalable sagt: der fehler ist beim echo place enter und nur da
- when sending a "whisper" to a nick in a MUC we reply with an error
  code 503 with <body></body>. didn't we have something to say in there?
  (gaim shows an empty box)
+ add /whisper command and real whispering in net/place/basic. (rcpt gets
  _message_private_whisper, castmsg sees _message_public_whisper.. user.c
  then has to filter that out when _nick_target is himself)
  this should make users of jabberMUC culture happy.
- joining a psyc channel from XMPP-S2S with different handle (nick) is
  still causing problems
? M1: apparently something in psyced's MUC implementation is making mcabber crash :(

> remoteMUC:
- whispering in remote MUCs:
    xmpp:psyc@conference.jabber.org sagt Dir: test
  would be nice to see the nickname at least..  ;)
- (xmpp:jdev@conference.jabber.org/Light Lan)  <-- nicknames with spaces
- When conference.jabber.org is down there is no error report about it at all
- fake any sort of showMembers() for remote MUCs...?
  or actually implement it? looks so stupid on telnet when typing <enter>
  ... then again, telnet is the only protocol that could use that.. scrapped

>>>
- "asks" kommt blöd.. entweder visiblespeakaction immer, oder gar
  nicht (implement visiblespeakaction in net/jabber)

? XMPP: connecting to psyced.org with psi pops up a profile window everytime
? XMPP: first reply to a stranger's remote psyc message did not show up in psi
? neulich wurde 'stanly' beim runterfahren von psi nicht aus dem MUC genommen.

- autojoin() is disabled, so jabber clients never get to enter newsfeed
  places. no news is bad news sometimes.
    maybe we should simply suppress all output of autojoins by maintaining
    an extra jabber-only list of "actively entered" muc places, then have
    all other contexts output as server messages (newsfeeds, rarely used
    chatrooms). the user can then decide to enter the context "actively"
    whenever he intends to speak on it, or simply wants a seperate tab
    or window for it. this is treating jabber clients a bit like gui tools
    or webchats.. but.. so what. [ other approaches could include some abuse
    or multiplexing of pubsub with muc protocols to handle all aspects of
    psyc contexts, but that would still need such a jabber-only context
    list, so it's a superset or later feature of this. if i'm not confused
    pubsub protocol would merely serve to integrate the /subscribe command
    better into the jabber ui experience, and provide a correcter display
    vehicle for messages than server notices.. right?  --lynX ]
  _request_list_item in person.c is a placebo. it would tell clients which
  places are known and possibly have them autojoin. this may not follow the
  psyc model much, but it's better than nothing at all. maybe there's also
  some protocol for clients to store which places are to be autojoined -
  which would be the complicated way to do subscriptions. still autojoin
  doesn't act the right way in all situations, so it's not enough.
    hey wait.. there is jabber:iq:private code in jabber/user.c that
    should do just that - it even provides autojoin='1' but i haven't
    seen a single client honor that. maybe just some bugfixing necessary?

- iChat sends /me with a newline after <body> and before the /me
  .. it doesn't get seen as /me, but it doesn't get output either!?

? wenn wir psyc die eintragung von beliebigen weiteren identifications und
  locations pro user beibringen, könnte man dann diesen user via jabber
  transports in seine im-logins einloggen?

- aimgate sendeoptimierung auf #if 0

- niekie entered #welcome both by telnet and xmpp. when the telnet
  logged out, his xmpp client thought he had left the muc also.
    ok, so the psyced did correctly handle both your identities.. only that your client interpreted the other you leaving as you leaving.. kind of logical
    i will ask fippo if the xmpp-you can be assigned the full xmpp url as a nickname mucwise, than it shouldnt collide.. i noticed it pretends you being local, which is a lie

- wenn ein jabber client ohne zu gruessen verschwindet, wird der user.c
  erst gequittet beim versuch mit ihm zu reden (evtl tage spaeter
  erscheint er also immernoch online)
+ In welcome spricht mb: is there a way to turn off the welcome messages everytime someone gets connected to psyc, it is a bit irritating when you use clients like ichat who do not filter those messages into a seperate channel

? ouch.. wir haben immernoch psyctext fehler:

  ueberhaupt zulassen ohne passwort!? 
  in jabber sind gaeste doch unsinn
    die gaeste kann man mit SASL anonymous handhaben. 
    siehe xmppimpl.html, die Gäste sind dabei aber nicht in der Lage,
    einen nickname zu spezifizieren
    lynX muss sich das SASL anonymous zeug mal angucken,

- post-0.99 TODO: jabber clients are not interactives, there may be more than
  one linked client per account. 
  im prinzip werden sie dann ähnlich wie psyc-clients behandelt werden und
  damit haetten wir eine umfangreiche spielwiese fuer das zeug

- user.c should have a lot of common things with gateway.c and active.c
  and component.c, so... inherit/include!

- vCard ist nur für sich selbst implementiert!?
  * ja, schreib halt den nötigen code um von anderen zu requesten :-)
  kann doch nicht sein, dass jeder jabber firlefanz zweimal gecoded werden
  muss. können wir nicht eine gemeinsame API in user und gateway schaffen,
  weswegen derselbe code im jeweiligen objekt das richtige tut???
  <fippo>: ich API'e schon soviel geht. aber gateway und user haben vollkommen
  	unterschiedliche anforderungen und so einfach, wie ich es mir in
	disco.c gemacht hatte geht es nunmal nicht.

+ xbuddylist müsste auch den alias name speichern, den user ihren buddies
  im client zuweisen können
  <fippo> das sollte in den alias'es sein. man kann afaik nicht einen user
  mit zwei verschiedenen aliases in zwei gruppen haben
  <lynX> ja richtig - wir sollten psyc aliases und jabber aliases
  zusammenschalten, dass der roster die aliases aus psyc erhält und man
  beim bearbeiten der buddies einen alias auch für psyc setzen kann.
  eventuelle leerspaces im namen müssen wir dann wohl durch _ ersetzen -
  scheint kein problem darzustellen.
- wenn man im client einen alias ("name" feld im xml code) setzt beim
  buddymachen, dann geht der im laufe der transaktion verloren und man
  muss ihn später nochmal setzen!

 (a) man sollte genereller aus allen seltsamen switch-lagen herausbreaken können
  und zum defaultfall innerxml kommen. wenn das falsch ist kann man ja
  stattdessen returnen..
 (b) oder wir behandeln alle nachrichten die an eine resource gerichtet sind
  mit dem innerxml code - können bei der gelegenheit auch das problem mit der
  resource fixen. so sollte jabber routing ja eh funktioniert. gibt es einen
  haken? muss muve an irgendeiner stelle für den client sprechen?
  fippo: nein, nicht wenn die nachricht an eine resource gerichtet ist.
  lynX: doch, es gibt exotische sonderfälle weswegen die stelle im gateway.c
  die ich mit JTRANZ markiert habe *doch* falsch ist, um die entscheidung
  zu treffen. schalte den debug an und schau lang genug zu. irgendwann kommen
  dinge die der muve leider doch parsen muss um sie für psyc/irc/etc
  aufzubereiten. ein gateway muss nunmal mehr tun als ein einfacher jabberd.
  daher ist option (b) falsch und wir müssen (a) ins auge fassen.
  fippo: nein. psyc/irc/etc wird nie mit resource senden. daher sind antworten
  	an solche auch nicht legitim
  fippo: nach einiger ueberlegung muessen wir eine hybride strategie fahren
  	im gateway.c muessen wir wie dort beschrieben (b) machen
	im user.c ist eher (a) angebracht
  fippo: fuer message und presence ist das jetzt im user (a) implementiert,
  	im gateway (b). Fehlt zum einen noch der ganze <iq/>-kram, zum anderen
	schlaegt die haesslichkeit von raum%chathost@xmpp voll zu.
	das muessen wir zum einen loesen, wahrscheinlich indem wir psyc://
	codieren.
	bei der presence ist noch ein markiertes todo, wem wir presence out
	sandten und es beim logout als unavailable schicken müssen.
	ich weiss dass das unintegriert ist in unsere places-geschichte, aber
	so ist das nunmal

== RELEASE INSTALLER ===================================================
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
+ the psyced script could check if psyced.ini has been changed recently
  and autorun psyconf? or maybe just spit out a warning..

- _charset_console can still lead to unexpected convert_charset errors when
  outputting random data. convert_charset must be non-fatal here!

? psyclpc should be in psyced snapshot pkg.. that means changing a lot
  about the install.sh and the ebuilds.. oooph
- otherwise: teach install.sh or psyconf to copy sys-includes at 
  installation time to ensure we always have the ones matching the driver?

+ elmex says: ./install.sh -d(efault)/-l(astrun) to skip all the questions?
  just ask? "Would you like to skip the questions and use last run's inputs?"
? but why? you shouldn't need to run install.sh more than once!

+ rpms! debs! ebuilds fertig machen und submitten!
    - psyced.ebuild: saga meint wir sollten conf.d verwenden statt
	/etc/init.d/psyced aus psyconf zu erzeugen. formell gentooiger quasi.
    ? psyced.ebuild: manpages für psyced und psyconf
    ? ldmud.ebuild: manpages für ldmud und erq
  BuGless meint, um von den Distributionen wahrgenommen zu werden steht
  folgendes an:
    + psyced muss posix-konformes kill und restart(exec)-verhalten haben
      und empfiehlt 'cucipop' anzuschauen wo er strikt das von posix
      verlangte mindestding implementiert hat.
    + das wrappende shellscript sollte weg.
    + das erste package für jede distri sollte man selbst machen, einfach
      weil man selber am besten weiß was die software braucht. danach kann
      sich immernoch jemand finden, der die maintance übernimmt, wenn man
      das selbst nicht machen will.
    ... wenn diese punkte gut gemacht sind, sprechen die features von psyced
    für sich. direkt zuständige leute ansprechen.

? in utility/Installer.pl liegt ein angebrochener ersatz für die fragestunde.
  könnte nachladbarer teil von psyconf werden (-i flag), wenn es ein psyced.ini
  erzeugt. das hinkopieren aller sachen und compilieren von ldmud müsste auch
  noch in den Installer.pl. egal. im moment ist die arbeitsteilung zwischen
  psyconf und install.sh ganz okay.
? sollten die sub.pm's von psyconf nicht eher in einer eigenen lib dir liegen
  als verwirrt in utility? einfach lib/psyconf/ oder lib/perl/ anlegen?

+ fippo meint man kann jetzt drivers/ldmud/sys vom driver erzeugen lassen
  lars meint:
  'make install-headers' zusammen mit dem --includedir Option von configure.

? warn about running psyced/psyclpc as root?
- ensure /bin/sh is in /etc/shells. some braindead linuxes don't have it.
+ install.sh: runtime output should offer (console|buffered|flushed)
  as alternatives. buffered := files, but "flushed" would be the use
  of the new DEBUG_LOG feature for those who need unbuffered access
  to debug output (tail-f-able).
- macosx entpackt tars!
  noonee duftet: COMPILING LDMUD /ls: ldmud*tar.gz: No such file or directory / ATTENTION:  More than one LDMud-dir found. Skipping.
  bartman fragt: heißts vllt .tgz hinten? ;)
  noonee duftet: nein, nur noch tar
  noonee duftet: macos entpackt's halt schon
  dann muss install.xx wohl lernen auch ein .tar zu akzeptieren
	-> andere lösung, psyclpc ist im psyced tar mit drin..
- noonee duftet: configure: error: expected an absolute directory name for --bindir:
- ./install.sh: line 249: nslookup: command not found
  several systems have no nslookup these days
- "LDMUD COMPILATION DONE" should check if erq and ldmud have been
  compiled correctly
- on debian erq only compiles if '-lresolv' is appended. we need to
  patch the ldmud Makefile for that!

? psyced.ini is missing a multiline syntax. and how do you specify
  custom #define's for your local.h? we don't. we provide a local.h.

? should we fix WEB_CONFIGURE to act upon webgenerated.h only,
  and not try to do things that psyced.ini does?

________________________________________________________________________
== MINOR TODOS =========================================================
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- maybe we should rethink our MOTD/BANNER logic.. and create one real MOTD
  file being shown to all users (at least on request) and some special for
  every access.   ......  or just use the textdb for MOTD. maybe we can
  provide edit tools for the textdb or at least the motd.
.... then again, ircd probably needs its own motd anyway .. just leave it
  as it is, but move it into local/

- /version psyc://psyced.org and /version psyc://psyced.org/
  doesn't work on psyced.org - localhost recognition goes ooga dooga
- on irc:
  «psyc://beta.ve.symlynx.com/psyc:psyced.org» _error_illegal_uniform to 0 from 0: psyc://psyced.org is not a legal address here.

- textc T(mc, xx) API is insufficient to properly handle psyc inheritance
  and at the same time handle formats provided by external apps. fippo's
  fix in net/irc/common circumvents that, other psyctext apps skip inheritance
  and use psyctext("", vars, data) with data now being used as template.

? allow admins even if LIMIT_USERS is reached?

- the DEALIAS() macro is incorrect. can we fix it and truly make use
  of it everywhere?

- use shared_memory() for mmp_vars and maybe other static mappings
  could even textc.c be simplified by going thru shared_memory() ?

+ /nickserv drop = /unregister - stop using a nickname. but why?
  if you really want someone else to use your nick, give him the password.
+ /chanserv in net/place/standard - allow for known standard functions
  in non-programmed places dynamically.
  check /chanserv help on various ircnets.

- 20after4 says: I have noticed something strange related to disconnecting - if I connect to the same uni from another client, the first connection drops with the "fasten meat belts" message

? wir fangen subscribe requests an räume ab. was wäre wenn wir die
  durchlassen? könnte man damit pubsub zeugs in räumen implementieren?
  * pubsub hat nichts mit subscriptions zu tun. lies mal jep-0060
  doch, lediglich dass es so viele optionen beherrscht, dass man in
  psyc dazu ne hundertschaft an channels braucht.
  nur was wollte ich eigentlich sagen.. dass /sub selbst ein /enrol
  sein könnte? hmmm

? marenz suggests /sub could first ensure the target actually likes to be
  subbed, that requires a tag-triggered action on reception of successful
  entry.. and by consequence, should we also support current behaviour in
  the form of /sub -f (aka force) ?
  flags in chat commands? yeah why not.. it's a nerd thing anyway these days.
  that means we need a getopt efun/implementation for LPC.. lol

? hmm.. htuniform() in http/library isnt being used by anything
  why did i code it then? there must be a reason

? /x currently tells anyone about crypto level quality of a person
  should this be more private?

+ METHOD FILTERING -> CHANNELS
    fippo hotzenplotzt: hrmpf hrmpf. ich will webexamine setbar aushaben bitte!
    lynx: programmier den ultimativen filter befehl
    lynx: .. /filter <method> <source>
    ? /set filter presence xmpp:xxx@yyy als user-befehl
    lynx: .. /filter <method> from <source>
    lynx: und zwar im user.c - denn du kannst nicht den multicast zerbrechen mit ner pubsubbigen ausnahmeregelung *g*
    lynx: im prinzip ist das ja ne verfeinerung von ignore.. ignore mit methode
    könnte man auch einfach /set ignoremethods <method list> machen, welche
    nur zum einsatz kommt bei sources, die im /ignore sind.
+ CHANNELS
    fippo hotzenplotzt: da kann ich auch clientignore nehmen
    fippo hotzenplotzt: es geht mir darum, dass ich als raumadmin teilweise nicht will, dass soviel traffic an alle geht
    lynx: dann musst du channels implementieren
    lynx: damit sowas seinen eigenen channel kriegt
    fippo hotzenplotzt: möglich
? problem: how to allow remote XMPP MUC users to filter web inspection notices?

> PROFILES
! depend on DECENTRALIZED STATE to get to the next stadium of coolness
- exposed lists aren't properly sorted by expose level. a maximum expose should
  automatically put a friend or group at the top of the profile list etc.
? also: should we use dhtml to allow back+fwd clicking in /surf history?
  using http://codinginparadise.org/projects/dhtml_history/ maybe
+ person:qDescription : we could simplify all decisions what belongs into
    // the outgoing description for whom, if we introduced a psyc2trust
    // mapping into profiles.gen with 'trust <digit>' values for each entry.
+ we could add type (int,bool) and maxlen info to profiles.gen
+ we could have the web-based profile editor use these things
+ we could have it interact with psyczilla on psyc level like /surf or better
+ then again, completely different idea: we could seperate profile levels
  by channels - so we have a chance to multicast changes to our profile to
  the intended people and don't have complexity explosion in user data for this.

>>>
- Invalid password error in tn/server appears indented w/o LF

+ provide textdb editing mechanisms:
+  /template <database> <key> <value>
+  web-based editor for textdb with optional directory-style navigation
+ could it be the /config command can be replaced by /template ?

? /set identities hilft skype etc pseudo-urls unterzubringen, profiles.gen
  spricht allerdings eine andere sprache und will einzelsettings. sollte
  man wohl umsetzen.. oh graus!

? sollte /set exposetime auch /who boykottieren? wohl schon
? showFriends() shows aliveTime of local objects that you offered friendship to

? fip:  ich braeuchte irgendwie mal zugriff auf nen freebsd und nen osx
 	und nen autoconf-guru (das bezieht sich auf den erq)

- fix sip and start phoning away
+ alternative: implement jingle
  - imho ist sip ne nummer zu komplex, die rfcs zum thema sind mehr als 
    tausend seiten lang. jingle sieht schöner aus, vor allem
    haben wir da das generelle framework schon

- re-connect eines telnet erhält echos aller re-enters
- ähnlich viel zu verbose ist der relogin nach einem /detach

+ verbatimuniform sollte umbenannt und invertiert werden nach
  encodeuniform (quoteuniform? besserer name? oder gleich strictirc?)

- /x für bosses funktioniert gar nicht? also email ausgeben etc

- sollte das neue lastlog-verhalten ernste probleme aufwerfen müssen wir
  .99 mit UNSAFE_LASTLOG ausliefern. die art wie local stringp user gehandhabt
  werden ist jdf inkonsistent, siehe viele neue TODO kommentare

+ psyced sollte auf wunsch SOCKS beherrschen, dann könnten wir
  tor verwenden als anonymisierungsdienst für connects zu den
  proprietary IM systemen und hier und da auch sonst. RSS fetches zB.

+ have redlines for different languages.. depending on who is requesting it

? _subject in jabber messages wird ignoriert. was machen wir damit?

> ERQ
- an mehreren stellen verlassen wir uns darauf, dass __ERQ_MAX_SEND__
  undefiniert sein wird wenn erq beim hochfahren nicht gefunden wurde,
  aber wenn ich ldmud mit -N aufrufe wird __ERQ_MAX_SEND__ trotzdem
  definiert. was tun?
+ es gibt neue localhost selbstresolver switche, das müsste mehrere
  if localhost abfragen im bisherigen code unnötig machen. optimization TODO

>>>
- don't accept connections during shutdown sequence
  should work by returning 0 from master:connect()
- reorder shutdown? why do we see _notice_place_leave_reload_server
  messages from local rooms? and why do we see every single person
  leaving from somewhere? this should all be quiet at shutdown
  at least for telnet
- the new shutdown sequence erratically reloads rooms that have already
  been destructed. they need to be shut down after all the user objects
  have quit them. test: put an #echo into a room you use, like tuxedo.c

? junctions könnten nen /trace befehl anbieten um das netzwerk aufzuzeigen

- question recognition: check if following char exists or is whitespace
  to avoid acting on urls

  schöner wärs, wenn wir nur eine _failure erzeugen würden beim fehlschlag einer queue..
  reicht ja wenn net/circuit ein temporäres mapping of mapping of sendern & empfängern
  anlegt und jedes paar immer nur einmal vertröstet... oder wir machen eine kumulative
  nachricht? msg[source] .= ", target\n"; in der alle von diesem circuit betroffenen
  targets auflegistet werden..

+ htmlhead(), htmlpage() und htmltail() [see net.h und http/header.i]
  allow for keeping state of html head/body and the need for a footer
  independently on how many htget() functions are called and feel
  like contributing something to the output. header.i could even attempt
  to do a nice multi-column rendering of all outputs it gets, if we also
  add a htmlwrite() macro.

? müsste man das eigentlich auch erlauben? mit xmpp: geht es jedenfalls
  /m jabber.ccc.de/Echo janz gewagt
    "jabber.ccc.de/Echo" ist nicht erreichbar.

- wenn der muve beim aufmachen einer connection auf den 
  _notice_circuit_established warten würde, könnte er wenigstens wissen,
  für was ihn der andere hält (host/ip im _target). 
  perlpsyc macht das und wir erlauben eigentlich auch nur fire&forget 
  scripten ein anderes behaviour. wieso nicht auch beim muve???

- kein exec() mehr von server.c nach user.c - stattdessen beliebig viele
  logins pro user.. telnet, irc, und jabber mehrfach.. alles erlaubt.
  obwohl, das ist wahnsinnig haarig mit den custom user.c's pro protokoll..
  dann müsste man net/prot/user.c von net/user.c entkoppeln damit mehrere
  prot/user koexistieren können.. aufwand!
  
- Dropped a packet from 83.243.42.81 trying to relay for 83.243.42.81.
  Stattdessen, wenn ip==ip: "Dropped a packet from %O which does not resolve."
  und die connection verabschieden mit einem _error_invalid_host_none
  "Sorry, for reasons of aggravated paranoia we cannot talk to you as long as your IP number does not resolve to a hostname."

? <lynX> warum können wir keinen ICQ gateway einsatzbereit 24/7 haben?
+ sicherstellen, dass icq:XYYY syntax netzweit gültig ist
  (wird auf icq.scheme.symlynX.com gemappt und durch brain geroutet)

- von psyc eigene xmpp-jid ansprechen führt dazu, dass muve xmpp mit sich
  selbst redet. lustig, aber unnötig.
  könnte da nicht compile_object das abfangen? quark, das erledigt xmpp_sendmsg

? neue negotiation-ebene mit zero-source paketen
? "_using_modules _encrypt" zum starten von TLS
  <lynX> wie geht das nun? zwei muves können sich hochschalten auf TLS?
  klappt nur leider nicht, weil einer von beiden sich als "client" begreifen
  müsste? wie isset? interserver tls müssen wir also weiterhin auf die lange
  bank schieben, wie?

+ /show-liste alphabetisch?

- slight sane_quit bug (w/ quit(2) && keepUserObject() == 0)

- wenn eine user-connection disconnectet wird man gleich gequittet inklusive
  announce-broadcast. wir sollten da einen zeitverzögerten "stoned"
  mechanismus haben, damit keine dümmlichen announces rausgehen.

+ /fr ohne argumente nimmt die letzte freundschaft an? (aber nicht persistent
  speichern)

- news.c: javascript-links herausfiltern und ignoren. beispiel:
(TagesschauNews) DFB-Pokal: Hannover und Schalke wollen Gas geben
javascript:popnoresize('http://sport.ard.de/php/sportticker/?event_art=6&ticker=467&e&#91;&#93;=2463&e&#91;&#93;=2464&e&#91;&#93;=2465&e&#91;&#93;=2530', 375, 600);

- net/jabber rendert cvs+wiki notifies etc mit origin-uniform, das sollte
  hübscher darstellbar sein.. noch damischer: web notifies ersheinen als hätte
  man sie selber gesagt!!

- friendships: habe gerade nen local user in meiner statusliste, der
  gar nicht online ist sondern mir einfach nur nachrichten hinterlassen
  hatte.. und ich bin frisch eingeloggt.. der typ is nich da! wie kommt
  der da rein??
? use -DEXPERIMENTAL to debug

+ spoof tester script in perl- oder pypsyc, welches gespoofte oder fehler-
  hafte meldungen zu erzeugen versucht um w() und co dicht zu kriegen

+ support for transfer/sharing of user data between servers. when a new
  server is started using the .o files of an existing server, each loaded
  user object should be aware, that it is *not* the entity that *made*
  all of those friendship arrangements, by comparing its current uniform
  to a stored v("identification"). then it should warn the user and disable
  all delivery of presence to remote entities until the user either switches
  the identification or reorganizes his friendship data. tricky tricky.

? handle http proxy requests in whatever way (for proxyscanners etc)
  saga sagert, er hat das schon getan?

- bei gelegenheit eines der beiden sendmsg() global umbenennen und
  das library_object() rausoptimieren.

+ virtual hosting/vhost/CNAME support: allow UNIs and rooms to choose any
  CNAME pointing to our server: we need a very elaborate way to figure out
  what uniforms are local or remote, and DNS helps us find out what our
  CNAMEs are. in the end /set identification either defines a person's
  wish to be addressed, or indicates where its reference account lies.
  - how are you planning to keep dns and local settings synchronized?
  + hmm.. send v("identification") thru dns lookups before using it?

? change httpd in a way that it intercepts scriptkid attacks nicer than
  trying to intantiate ridiculous objects? (no extensions outside static?)

- In welcome spricht Igramul: hmm... the "+list" command made xchat crash
  <fippo> man sollte dazu sagen, dass er danach gesagt hat, dass es ein
  	xchat-bug ist. irrelevant fuer UNSER ctodo
	... mag sein, aber man könnte trotzdem nachschauen was da passiert,
	    und manchmal findet man heraus, dass man doch selber was falsch
	    gemacht hat und alle anderen clients lediglich nix gesagt haben..

- http://about.psyc.eu/Remote_join_heise_from_beta_dump noch aktuell?
  noch relevant? kuchn schmiert: dunno. verwende kein _request_enter mehr

- 15:38 -!- psyc://goodadvice.pages.de/~oops [psyc://goodadvice.pages.de/~oops@goodadvice.example.de] has joined #psyc://psyced.org/@welcome
    ich hab nen alias auf remote-el, vielleicht kommt es daher

- fippo meint es müsse ein replyvars-handling her. der eingriff wäre aber
  ziemlich dramatisch.. lynX vorschlag: die msg api müsste dann so aussehen
mapping rvars msg(source, mc, data, vars, rvars);
  showingLog würde rvars["_INTERNAL_flag_showing_log"] werden
  das heftige daran ist, alle sendmsg() aufrufe in allen entity-derivaten
  (siehe http://about.psyc.eu/Psyced msg flow) müssten die zurückgegeben
  rvars auch benutzen. dafür fällt das hässliche entity:sendmsg() weg.
  wenn ein msg() signalisieren will, dass die nachricht abgearbeitet ist,
  gibt es return 0 statt return rvars durch. ist das alles, oder fehlt was?

> GATEBOT / IRCGATE / etc
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- MAUR: psyc dont send jid disconnect on nickchange and/or quit?
- reconnect?
- MAUR: I set a crontab to HUP ldmud
+ enter channels?

? provide CTCP PRESENCE
+ relay "no such nick" properly
+ version() send *my* version info

- ircgate echot nicht, weder dem ircer noch -was doofer ist- dem psycer
  evtl lässt sich das im generic für alle gates lösen, vllt auch nicht
- _message_echo sollte geliefert werden, und zwar als NOTICE

- irc.at.caudium.net begrüßt mit NOTICE AUTH :*** Found your hostname etc.
  das wird komisch dargestellt (und in die history gesteckt) als
	22:41:35 Anderswoher sagt lynx: Found your hostname
  lynx ist da vermutlich einfach der eigene nick..

- the gatebot should inform the ircers (on the irc network) about
  joins/leaves probably. the #pike'ers accept us (the gate), so for them it
  would be a help. also it should disturb nobody, as PSYCgate is usually
  residing in #psyc. or we just add #define DEAF_IRCERS or something like
  that.
+ in fact there is plenty of improvement that can be done on gatebot!!

? wenn gatebot an remotes spricht, dann kommt das so an:
	psyc://213.73.91.20/irc:symlynx
  das sollte lieber irc:symlynX und psyc://213.73.91.20/$IRC in _source
  und _source_relay geliefert werden, oder so ähnlich.. hmmmm
  jedenfalls muss der empfänger sowohl eine "identität" des absenders
  sehen können und gleichermaßen ein /reply hinkriegen können
+ gatebot sollte _echo erzeugen, selbst wenn es unecht ist

+ allow rich text formatting between clients who support it. since we
  have no preference in that field yet, we can stick to everybody's xhtml.

- when trying to log in "admin" net/person generates
  _failure_object_create_admin, which is fine, but then
  it runs into a runtime error

- einloggen auf anderen servern
  /connect psyc://symlynX.com/~symlynX
  *** Sorry, this function is not yet available across the PSYC network
+ wobei es sogar wichtiger wäre, wenn man durch die gateways connecten
  kann.. das würde man aber so machen, dass man mittels /set id (forward)
  eine empfangslocation angeben kann wie icq:XXXX, aim:YYYY oder irc:ZZZZ.
  dann muss gatebot nur noch lernen die location zu erkennen und ihre
  eingaben an das zugehörige uni-objekt zu leiten. ziel der übung: jede
  message an psycgate ist ein muve-cmd() und alle muve-ausgaben sind gatemsgs

== UNNECESSARY IDEAS (brainstorming trashcan) ==========================

+ invite-except! the idea is to be able to send an invite in a group
  to join a new group with the exception of one or more people. the
  exceptions should not be informed, but of course some people will
  patch their servers so they can see it. still they cannot enter the
  new group as they are not invited. this is not intended as a kick
  strategy really, but rather as a way to organize a birthday party
  for somebody etc. better ideas? temporary group exclusion? but we
  cannot allow that to be invisible to the excluded one. hm actually
  yes we can. and then again the whole plan is crap because with
  channels we can simply create a channel of all except a few and do
  not need anybody's permission to do so. ok forget this. just documenting
  this here and poof forget it again.

== PSYC CLIENTS ========================================================
- tg runs into trouble using _do_enter and _do_leave. apparently the enter-echo
  is not accepted by the UNI and thus does not make it into _list_places
- _do_leave does not forward the echo from remote places back to the client

- place and v("place") aren't in sync (new changes for psyc clients)

+ if newbie: directly show register dialog
  (lynx should add _status_unregistered or so)

? psyc clients haben uferlose idle times
  und sie altern nicht

? cryptochat raum?

? how to improve _request_store and _retrieve?
  look at http://asg.web.cmu.edu/acap/ for ideas

+ unbekannte schemes auflösen (<name>.scheme.symlynX.com)
  und dort nach nem gateway suchen.. 
? support *.place.symlynX.com for well known rooms

? support voice chat
  look at: http://freshmeat.net/projects/pyvoicechat/
  dormant since 2004.. oops  

+ tycho proposes /log reply of new messages should not necessarily
  show automatically, in case you are connecting with a client on a
  mobile phone, especially if you have permanent context subscriptions
  flowing into your log nonstop.

> RELAYING
+ net/spyc needs relaying (without parsing even), see TODO in parse_content()
? relaying doesn't work for psyc clients (xmpp: in particular)
    works for localhost clients
    works for clients issueing _request_circuit_trust
-   "trustworthy" needs to be raised for data coming from a client
    and does _source need to be set to the UNI of the client instead
    of the server root? probably.
+ proxy/relaying in wikinotify etc einbauen?

== APPLET ISSUES =======================================================
+ sprachauswahl im applet?! [bart hat auf der pikemodi was gemacht hiermit]
+ anclickbare register etc links?
- wenn ein unregistrierter talkt, dann bricht der muve den /talk ab
  aber applet erfährt nichts davon und behält den falschen prompt bei
- selector box erwischt die falsche befehlszeile im netscape4
? dep's new veChat.jar does not work on IE
  but some of the old stuff does.. how do we find a proper solution?

== DOCUMENTATION ISSUES ================================================
? should we point to some manuals on how to make and add certificates?

* ich habs.. jede datei definiert am anfang in welche kategorie sie gehört..
"library" "user" "server" "language" etc... und jede funktion kann sich 
dann mit /** library: this stuff.. */ woanders einordnen.. jetzt brauchen wir
ne dokuware die sowas kann, und jemand der die dokummentare reinschreibt..
  -> doxygen-1.3.9.1.src.tar.gz (2649K)... definitiv kein aufwand, sowas...

== RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENT ================================================
* REDIRECT: http://about.psyc.eu/Release_Announcement

== COMPETITION =========================================================
+ man könnte die kollegen bitten gemäß forschertradition unter "other
  similar projects" einander kreuzzuverlinken. die meisten sind eh vapor
  und würden uns daher interessierte liefern. wir stecken die dann auf
  http://irc.pages.de/research. optimal ist es noch, wenn wir die vielen
  denker überzeugen das bestehende psyc um ihre ideen aufzustocken.

== UNDER CONSTRUCTION: (offene baustellen im LPC code) =================
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- file transfers between local jabber clients
- file transfers between jabber clients and gateways

? zum thema negotiation, kann man mit demselben code auch http://www.codemastr.com/irc/draft-baudis-irc-capab-00.txt implementieren?

+ ldap support in progress

- #define ALIASES erlaubt nach wie vor das gesamte local-nickspace subsystem
  abzuschalten. praktisch wenn man einen fehler sucht und vermutet aliases
  könnten mit hineinspielen.
? müsste man ALIASES sowieso tieferlegen? von tell() nach sendmsg()?
  das bedeutet dass wir überhaupt erstmal ein user:sendmsg() brauchen
	damit wären wir beim nächsten eintrag:
- sollte sendmsg() lokale nicknames akzeptieren? und wie soll das gehen?
  und fippo meint sendmsg() sollte die psyc nickspaces realisieren -
  also aus der library heraus in die userobjekte wandern? teilweise?
  kann dann wenigstens tell() weg? und die call_outs in
  person.c können #'sendmsg werden?
? standard msg-API überdenken? hier ein denkansatz:
#define sendmsg(target, mc, data, vars) \
       (objectp(target) ? target->msg(ME, mc, data, vars) \
                        : libsendmsg(target, mc, data, vars))
tobi meint: sendmsg() ist nicht der ort, in dem aliases gehandhabt werden
     können, wie ich sie mir vorstelle. meine vorstellung von aliases ist: sie
     bezeichnen einen user, nicht einen alias. sprich: man freundet sich mit
     (alias)X an, löscht den alias und überschreibt ihn und ist dann mit
     psyc://.../~X befreundet (oder auch im query oder was immer), und nicht
     mit dem nichtexistenden oder neuen X.
     solange wie man dieses konzept verfolgt kann man die aliases nicht im
     sendmsg() handeln, leider.
     das problem ist, dass ich wohlwissend dass man das überall braucht ne
     2 kleine funktionen (alias(), dealias()) einführen wollte, du aber ver-
     kannt hast, dass man das andauernd braucht und deswegen meintest
     "da reicht ein makro, oder man macht das halt von hand", weswegen aliases
     (nach bisheriger konzeption) an mir hängt. allerdings baue ich das lieber
     noch in /fr und /nf und was da noch alles ist ein, als dass ich so ein
     pseudoalias im sendmsg() haben will.
     also: mich einfach machen lassen, ich kümmer mich, und bitte nicht so ein
     alias im sendmsg() realisieren, dass dann einfach nur halbgar sein könnte.
     danke.

- in net/library gibt es neue parseURL und makeURL, die werden aber an
  vielen stellen noch nicht benutzt. verschiedene systemfunktionen wie
  register_target sollten vermutlich urls im neuen url.h format annehmen.
  eilt aber nicht .. an einer stelle im parse.i wird zerschnippelt was
  schonmal einzeln war.. da würde die URL datenstruktur helfen.

- es sind an verschiedenen stellen noch pr()'s und S()'s aktiv
  die müssen nicht zwingend ersetzt werden. eile mit weile.
________________________________________________________________________
== SECONDARY ISSUES ====================================================
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
? new bug: psyc "dialbacks" - apparently it doesnt find the tcp back
  seems to be an issue only when the incoming and outgoing hostnames
  aren't the same - still, psyced used to figure that out..
  ... seems to be related to dyndns

+ http://www.oftc.net/oftc/NickServ/CertFP
  generic client cert support for all net/* protocols?

? embee suggests a special treatment for dyndns hosts: such servers
  should inform their counterpartners of being dynamic, since they
  can't predict when the ISP is going to kick them (in order to
  shutdown politely). lynX thinks dyndns servers simply shouldn't
  promote a connectable 4404 port, maybe? then again - any fixed
  server can be torn down, and any dyndns server can be installed
  firmly enough, that it keeps on serving its 4404 - you just have
  to make sure you don't use an old ip number - and we do that.

+ By providing POP3 and SMTP we could actually use mail interfaces to produce and consume multiline messages, then route them through PSYCs multicasting. Nifty.
  http://about.psyc.eu/POP

+ let the SMTP server ask recipient if sender is "accepted"
  so the user object can decide to do whitelisting for mails
  and the smtp server can reject an email even before DATA is issued

- smtp servers are wonderful tarpits for spammers, but do we want to keep
  them up forever? clean_up() ? 
- we should detect & act when we are running out of sockets!!

+ a command or tool to inspect our own certificate?
  ensure it contains our server hostnames - or even better - learn our
  server hostnames from our certificate? something psyclpc should do?

- /set clearscreen
  Einstellung "clearscreen" ist nicht bekannt.
das sieht doof aus.. gehts auch besser? hmm

- show the current command character in all usage messages (by introducing
  [_command_character] or something like that)

- places are load()'d twice.. probably both the user object doing /go and
  the master object doing the clone. may be healthy to fix that.

+ dns_rresolve should panic when discovering fake PTRs and suchlike
  blacklist_report() ? :)

> SHOW STATUS?
? is the following stuff superceded by DECENTRALIZED STATE?
? _status_flags aus der auswahl _members _topic _configuration und
  _limit_history bei _request_enter mitgeben, damit showStatus dann die
  erwünschten _status - meldungen zurückschicken kann. die flags dann je
  nach zugangsbedürfnissen einstellen (telnet möglichst nix usw.)
  so ähnlich, aber besser:
+ replace _status_place by _status_description etc in a compatible way
  to the person description. make sure _identification is sent in the
  same way
+ "/set verbose on" gibt (unter anderem) mehr statuskram beim einloggen aus..

>>>
? filter + /msg: auto tmp-friend status ?
  hierzu müsste man wohl einen status "bekannter" in ppl einfügen

+ think of a way we can keep track of how strings are encoded to avoid
  any unnecessary conversions.. encoding is a data structure of
  (string charset, flag quoting) where quoting is XML, URL, b64..
  we probably need to add _encoding to every internal packet and
  carry around big cache mappings like iso2asc["bäh"] = "baeh"
  and clear them periodically. uh.. better ideas? no hurry.
  _encoding applies to the body and all non-MMP vars in the packet.

- mail notifications cause incarnation of the recipient who will be
  QUIT'd a while later.. too much noise and rcpt should probably
  remain incarnated longer since mails seem to arrive often enough
  for some users to never leave memory.

- re-examine everything looking for optimizations.. like, are any
  lower_case's being called twice etc. or introduce a "lowercased"
  flag into the driver's string structures  *grin*

? man könnte in /net aufräumen und matrix.c etc wegtun

? do we need per-object dynamic debugging ? (a la gueldenland-debug())

== PSYC ISSUES 1.0 =====================================================
? shared secrets on unencrypted circuits (does not protect against tcp-napping)
? generic shared secret authentication between psyc objects

? legal_host für udp pakete zwex /block
    moment.. bei udp kann man die ip ja faken..
    also muss was besseres her.. method filtering?
    oder zwei udp partner haben nen shared secret?
    oder wir brandmarken die udp-user mit dem "d" flag im URL_TRANSPORT
    und erwarten von places und people, dass sie selbst entscheiden was
    sie solchen fakebaren nachrichten erlauben.. dazu müssten wir aber
    source nicht mehr als string verschicken, sondern als url-datenstruktur

- raum versucht remote raum zu entern -> katastrophe?

- psyctext() hängt sich auf wenn ein [ nicht wieder mit ] geschlossen wird

> SPAM / FLOOD CONTROL
+ connect flood protection (against icaruz from XX.XX.XX.XX)
    1. introduce #define MAX_CONNECTIONS_FROM_ONE_IP
    2. warn admins via monitor when MAX_CONNECTIONS_FROM_ONE_IP * 70%
		    is reached
    3. block when MAX_CONNECTIONS_FROM_ONE_IP is reached
    4. improve /block to detach all superflous connections
    5. allow /block <ipmask> <amount> syntax to define a reduced
       maximum number of connections per ipmask, defaulting to 0
    6. maybe MAX_CONNECTIONS_FROM_ONE_IP can also be lowered
       interactively using "/block * 200"
- spam by unregistered users: limit unregistered users to 1 per minute for now?
  or force them to do web-based registration? or even.. trustee-based?
  it's the real thing.....!
see also: http://about.psyc.eu/SPAM

== FRIENDSNETS / FRIENDSHIP DEGREES / WEB OF TRUST TODO: ===============
+ friendivity 0 = nur meine freunde sehen mich
  friendivity 1 = die freunde meiner freunde können mich kennenlernen
  friendivity 2 = die freunde der freunde meiner freunde ...
+ umsetzung in /examine etc.
+ testimonials - was andere über einen sagen
+ friends und friendsfriends als gruppen/listen adressieren für newsletters
+ kontaktdaten exportieren an flat hierarchy kommunikationstools
  wie palm, outlook..
+ blogs die sich auf friends definieren
+ färbung der freundschaften - trennen/kennzeichnen/untersch. einstufen
	bspweise: business contacts vs online gamer mates
		vs nachtleben/dates vs richtigen freundschaften
+ private websites mittels psyc authentication plus hohen friendship degrees.
+ friends search engines -> friends file sharing
+ neuer gedanke: die neuen freunde eines freundes sind auch für freunde
  interessant.. also _notice_friendship_established selbst friendcasten? :))
  (na klar, das ist einfach ein _enter im freundschaftscontext - nur sind
   evtl nicht alle im richtigen channel, um den enter zu sehen..)

== IRC ISSUES 1.0 ======================================================
- according to rfc and ircd source IRC parser should accept when the last
  argument is just a word instead of a phrase prefixed by :
  this is unusual, but legal:  "PRIVMSG #blah hello"

+ some irc clients do not implement their own pinging, and some NATs really
  kill your irc session if it is too quiet too long. we need optional server
  side pings
+ since pinging has become so frequent, and packet sizes aren't of much
  relevance as long as they are below the MTU (1492 for DSL, 576 for ISDN)
  we might aswell answer those dumb ISON poll requests instead of just
  doing ping pong.  => implement irc-style notify/ison in irc/user.c

- (psyc://allo.homeunix.org/~allo) allo: hm, die userlist hier hat sich bei deinem nickchange nicht angepasst im ircgateway
  saga: ja, das ist ein bug, der mich auch immer wieder nervt
  ... kapier ich nich ... ich muss das reproduzieren können - also wer
  bitteschön macht nickchanges.. der +alias befehl?

+ finish IRC_FRIENDCHANNEL according to http://about.psyc.eu/IRC_Friendchannel
  some people would give up jabber/bitlbee as soon as this works!
  TODO: (fix) proper response on /names &, /who & and on first join.

+ why does IRC have a regular /lusers and usercmd.i doesn't?
  move it over and rename the /lu admin command into.. "/tcp u" ?
  like "/tcp <flags>" for various types of list_sockets()

+ new irc: handler (in library) to support official irc: url syntax
  with irc-networks and even irc-serverhosts

- Panic: [EPIC4-1.1.6 (338):Tried to make [#LIVE:0] the current channel of window [1], but I'm not on that channel!]

? setting for showing mc's

? ctcp-erkennung _nach_ 512-byte splitting (wen juckt das? -> 1.0)

? bartman fragt: ists beabsichtigt, dass /set privatetext doppelpunkte tötet?
  ja.. verwende gefälligst +set. sowas passiert durchaus mal, dass leute
  /set verwenden statt +set. was machen wir da? nochmal drauf hinweisen?

+ remove keepUserObject(user) { return 0; } and instead implement a
  reconnect strategy with re-join of places etc. careful, you have to
  test that all clients like the new login procedure!

- "known bug:" die shout()-funktionen betreiben kein vars-cloning, daher ist
  sowas möglich (das sollte aber nicht schlimm sein):
	place/irc caught zero source ("_notice_broadcast_garbage","Test 1.",([
	  "_INTERNAL_source_IRC": "c|h|a|o|s!c|h|a|o|s@ve.example.com",
	  "_INTERNAL_nick_me": "example",
	  "_nick": "c|h|a|o|s",
	  "_prefix": ""
	]))

- login via cert?
  irssi supports usage of private certificates and muve can read them.
  hints for irssi: place cert and key in one file

== PSYC AUTHENTICATION =================================================
  (see also http://about.psyc.eu/Authentication)
- man wird immer egal von welcher ip, egal mit welcher UNL geauthet
+ auswertung des IRCNAME als UNI angabe, mit entsprechenden folgen
+ authenticate() in person vergleicht jetz einfach die ip, man könnte
  aber auch den user rückfragen
= net/place/threads verwendet den kram abenteuerlicherweise
________________________________________________________________________
== CHANGES for 1.2 =====================================================
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
+ /set logsize ?
  hm ja es muss einstellbare loglängen geben für räume und user
  maximalwert ist dabei abhängig von age
- person:htinfo() kann abgeschafft werden zugunsten von infogenerierung im
  webserver basierend auf person:description()
? room operators
    + "local" admin levels in rooms
? disallow binary output for tn-users (use LDMUD internal filters)
  damit die keine komischen codes zugesandt kriegen können
+ idle events - _notice_attention ohne beeps falls nicht idle etc
+ /alarm <time> um sich aufwecken zu lassen.. oder /wake oder so
- /wap/ users
- wap msg looks
+ wap msg for anyone
+ library function add_psyctext() by which "local extensions" like
  place/goodadvice can add its own multilingual textdb entries
  into the system without having to create files in the official
  psyc textdb directory tree..
? user.c puts host, not ip, into v("ip") - makes sense?

> FROM MEDITATION ON PDEV:
+ elaborate availability/presence features, even before "logon"
? do we want var change notifications on psyc parse level so that
  the protocol does not need to issue messages for every minor event?
+ generisches _tag'ging von nachrichten
+ message _count
? timestamps on request?
+ unls wie psycbiff melden sich für bestimmte methodenfamilien an

== REAL PSYC ROUTING ===================================================
? wie unterscheide ich member und subroute?
falls du es überhaupt brauchst daran, dass subroute seine members definiert.

	=_members <route> sepp frida alex
	+_members p2puser
	+_members <subroute> uwe anton fippo
	+_members <route3> <subroute> jens tobi arne

da du an <route3> schickst kannst du <subroute> beim casten weglassen und
sollte route3 weggehen wird subroute selber zur route und du musst sie
doch noch ancasten. man sieht zwar wer alles und wie drin ist,
aber casten braucht man nur an die router, die übrig bleiben.
und der p2puser ist ein sonderfall: er will von allen direkt angenachrichtet
werden ohne router dazwischen..

== P2P ROUTING =========================================================
* Kademlia
Möglicherweise interessant ist eine P2P-artige Form von Routing, basierend
auf Kademlia ( siehe http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kademlia ) + Auth 
via Public Keys. Man sendet Nachrichten an einen (gehashten ?) Publickey
(bzw /ALIAS sei Dank weiterhin an Leute)
Diskussion siehe http://groups.google.de/groups?dq=&hl=de&lr=&ie=UTF-8&threadm=131jrpjw8xoyn%24.dlg%40usenet.fx3.org&prev=/groups%3Fhl%3Dde%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26group%3Dde.org.ccc
Muss nicht zwangsläufig Kademlia sein, fuer mehr P2P-Ressourcen siehe
zum Beispiel http://www.sics.se/~sameh/p2pComputing.php
Wie ist hier die Relation zu Friendnets? Reichen die aus, um ein Netz zu 
schaffen oder muss man freigiebiger mit der Information sein?

== THREADS/BLOG/FORUM/MAIL LPC TODO ====================================
+ net/place/threads hat noch keine strategie für html layouting..
  T("_HTML"..) ?
+ multiline messages
	-> ein /multiline command was eine art loggendes query darstellt, 
	   das solange "loggt" bis es /multiline trifft
	-> ein edit/revoke command, das die letzte zeile in diesem 
	   löscht
	TODO: edit-funktionen, etc
    -> oder gleich den eingebauten zeileneditor ed() von lpmud verwenden
	(telnet only)
> threads:
    + jeder Message noch eine threadID geben (in-reply-to):
      man numeriert die msgs durch und ein reply trägt noch den _tag von
      seinem vorgänger.. oder so...?
    + oder wir sind mit den comments vollkommen glücklich, welche ja auch
      ne einfache art thread sind
+ categories (in blogs gibt es feste kategorien der einträge, die man
  sich getrennt ansehen kann, also nicht so streng wie newsgruppen
  aber auch nicht so lasch wie keywords)
? link nicknames
? options: user stats?
? sort options menu
+ persistent message folders
	(lets you keep important messages)
	(stores "mails" in different logs than regular messages)
+ und das populärste blogtool auf freshmeat ist ein wikialleskönner:
  http://freshmeat.net/projects/tiki/   was hat der für nen chat drin?

== PSYC LPC TODO =======================================================
+ gender

+ rabbit,sasch: /wallops befehl, als adminraum mit real /join ? (auto?)
? wie heisst der /wallops befehl!?

? psyc clients as persistent java applets (ie channel, signed ns applet)

> TIME - rewrite of all time outputs:
+ handle timezones
+ introduce global psyc time?
?   seconds since 2000-01-01 0:0 GMT or	-- still lets you say "in an hour"
?   one day divided by 100'000 (hires)	-- funky, but not very human
+ replacements for ctime, hhmmss, mmss
  too bad it cant be done in perl
+ add date/weekday for /log messages older than 24h

>>>
? finish up /connect with password

? wenn man per psyc ne message an xx schickt, gilt der anschliessend
  als "bereits eingeloggt".. egal, logt ma sich halt neu ein

+ support *.place.symlynX.com for well known rooms (was it psyc:@room ?)
  or should this only be done by clients?

+ the most popular (by ranking) messaging system on freshmeat is
  an RPC library.. and by looking at the features i'd say PSYC is not RPC
	http://freshmeat.net/projects/internetcommunicationsengine/
  anyway.. look into that

- optimize walk_mapping calls into foreach
- optimize pends+offers handling in announce()

- assert harder protocol parsing rules, ensure that something like
  ":." or "= hello" generates proper error & QUIT

? RACING CONDITION handling 2: should the simple "non-handling" of
  racing conditions, when creating circuits, prove insufficient, we need to
  kill one of the circuits. this cannot be done easily without risking that
  both sides kill each others circuits and end up with none. we thought
  about a plan: send a _request_resolve_condition_racing with a _token_random
  that contains a random(999999) number on the newer circuit. upon receiption
  of such a message (in rootMsg), either compare it to the random number we
  sent out ourselves. the side with the bigger value takes action while the
  other waits. if we haven't sent any random numbers, then we can take action,
  too. action is to keep the newer circuit (from our perspective) and shutdown
  the other one, if we have it at all. then we tell the other side which one we
  will keep. it is left to decide if all of this actually happens on MMP level.
  UPDATE: we haven't seen this sort of racing condition happen at all

== COMMUNITY CHAT LPC TODO =============================================
+ telnetgäste befragen nach sprache? optional auch registrierung und email.

+ (in gui) when person starts to type a msg or (in non-gui) when person
  starts a /talk we could send a _notice_person_replying to announce a
  forthcoming message. this notice would only get displayed on the first
  reply per query (non-gui), or by changing some color or icon (gui), or
  by issueing a new CTCP REPLYING notice (for ircers). it can be disabled
  or limited to one of the two functions by:
	/set replynotification off|send|receive. default = on.
  or, if set-vars have been renovated:
	/set _notice_person_replying off|send|receive. default = on.

+ AIM and other gateways could allow "CONNECT <uni>" - or net/person allows
  for /set location to be aim:XXX - resulting in all msgs getting forwarded
  to the gateway, and all msgs from the gateway being sent to the uni as cmds.
  think of news headlines or blog notifications going out to aim  ;)

+ showRoom() could cache status of remote rooms so that it can output that
  anytime, while it is fine to sendmsg for local rooms.
  <lynX> hm, haben wir das nicht bereits so gemacht?

+ allow /i without args in /talk
- illnames only checked in lowercase??
- netzverbindung hergestellt goes to wrong tcp
+ titel ", der Nibelungische, " ?
+ /set fontface,fontsize -- selbst font auswählen
+ /ciao with message == /server restart
- "keine nachrichten" at login for known users
? /mud(like), irc(like) modi, accept //irc
? /ignore hall-of-infame ? (public listing of least popular people!?)
+ allow other terminators like !? for /me than just .

thoughts from buddy-heggy.txt:
? /await command no longer necessary
? "/join <user>" - move to public room where user is.. naaah!
? /surf <user> - opens browser to users private or public page (needs deref)

- dont log self-away-msg:
	"_message_private","[_nick] [_action].",
	(["_nick":"lynX","_action":"ist heute optimal gut drauf",]) !!!

+ /unset cmd
? /set url-of-the-day
+ /rm --> delete()
- warn/kill hübscheres echo, öffentlicher text dazu

- #define flag to allow admins to set /topic?
- or remove all simple public rooms

+ WaZ fragt Dich: sonderzeichen ins PW?
- WaZ fragt Dich: warum kann man dann "r"+random(99999) auch registrieren?

- zombie-effekt: nick probieren verlängert das
  leben eines veralteten existenten .o files?

? summon_person: autoclone user object from previous_object->v(scheme)
  for person/nickname objects (or ~nickname ?)

+ nobody really needs it.. but should we want to let telnet users ed()
  their place files or whatever, we need to fix the save_ed_setup
  efuns in master.c ... but any simple textarea-editor in net/http
  is better anyway

+ /set speakactionpossessive Meinung ist
  Jemandens Meinung ist: ach leck mich doch

== OPTIONAL PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENTS ===================================
- replace(args[2], "%", "@"); would probably be faster if done as
  i = index(str, '%'); if (i >= 0) str[i] = '@';

- where IS_NEWBIE is known to be 0 several parts of code can be ifdef'd out

- logged_on should be gone

+ this is more about predictability than performance. fippo thinks it's
  easier to develop in psyced if sendmsg() was executed asynchronously,
  that means: messages queued up, rest of the current code executed,
  messages delivered when current object is done. only decent way to do
  this seems to be with 0-delay call_out() - unfortunately lpc does not
  provide for that (yet) - even in pike you need to tweak it, as pike
  inverts the order of execution of 0-delay callouts.

  the UNI). still my friends need to be able to do all of this with a psyconaut..
 - checkout the fileshare stuff in perlpsyc/bin/

    sei es @ + . - ?
    # is doof wegen perl pasting
    ! und % sind nicht mit einer hand zu schaffen

usercmd
	+ case "*******" (moved to promuve) (anti-bot-feature)
	if moved back to freemuve, consider #define *******, as the command isn't suited
	for the usual chat admin.
irc/user
	? trillian - clients die nicht korrekt passwort handhaben können!?
	  befehl zum unregistrieren von personen
	    dagegen ... eher ne nachricht wie: type /quote pass «yourpass» zum einloggen
	      + kann der muve eh, ne passende nachricht wird jetzt auch ausgeschmissen.
	+ ctcp schmackes für farben + bold + underline rausgefiltert.
	  ? bold und underline lieber mit regreplace() (efun) oder lieber (da unhäufiges
	    vorkommen angenommen) mit while(strstr(...))?
	    (zurzeit isses regreplace())

net/psyc
+	HOST_CHECKS for now just disables dns and replaces incoming hostnames
	with their ip numbers.

	but isnt necessarily a beautiful solution
	edit: improved outgoing code, supporting mutliline vars
-	fixed: wie kommt ME ins places-mapping?
net/irc/decode.c
	generic ctcp support, DCC inklusive
net/place/basic and everywhere else
-	finally decided to do the big copy_mapping for each user
	to get rid of most of those stupid bugs that happen because
	of mappings being passed-by-reference by default.
	as a consequence, heldensaga is no longer part of the places-mapping
	(heldensaga) i am to happy!
+	introduced #ifdef VARS_IS_SACRED for the old code
+	also added nickname collision detection in rooms
- place_garbage_collection:
	clean_up() wird vom system aufgerufen wenn objekte lange unbenutzt
	blieben. clones von standardplaces verabschieden sich, wenn sie
	nicht mehr gebraucht werden. sonderräume, welche extra compiliert
	wurden, bleiben im speicher bis zum nächsten neustart des servers.
=== 2003-10 ============================================================

- doppelter textdb haushalt:
	cd /ve/l/default; rename -rin 's/.psyc$/.fmt/' .
	- removed most pr() class from usercmd
	- removed "x"+ hacks.. so if there are any pr()'s in use,
	  they cannot use the same method as w()'s
	it is okay to keep some pr()'s where suitable

	(transport, etc), used to implement icqgate
master/psycmuve.i:
+	dared to preload files calling load() instead of ""
local/config
+	introduced this file to keep credential data for gateways
	not readable for other objects

	anymore - the place is entered in the background, as it should.
net/usercmd
-	fixed /c after /join and similar effects that killed the telnet prompt
-	fixed /c w/ v("multiplace") == "on" (v("lastplace") wasn't set)
-	/sub place now sets v("lastplace")
-	/invite ohne in einem raum zu sein resultierte in 0
-	/sub place doesn't set v("lastplace") anymore, and it joins the

	join) after client send a WHO request
/drivers/ldmud/master/psycmuve
+	ssl support for IRC and Jabber (requires ldmud 3.3 with gnu-tls and
	networking thread) ... later fixed to also work without pthreads
/net/user && /net/usercmd && net/lu

	leave (-> presence) casting (can be switched on/off with a define)
net/usercmd
-	/p && /who no longer show summonned persons.
	in fact, they don't show objects not having a tcp connection

	or even something completely different?
net/person
-	no longer show receivers state (more than once|every time)

	net/irc uses it, and some net/jabber stuff, afaik.
-	slight aliases fix. one could have "y":"x", "Y":"xx" - which of
	course doesn't really work.
patches/psycmuve
-	fixed exec behaviour to actually use its settings, not the ones
	from the ldmud dist (which are currently broken!!)
drivers/master/psycmuve
+	added peerport to xmpp-gateways fixing a subtle dialback-error
=== 2004-11 ============================================================
net/server net/person net/usercmd net/user net/irc/common net/irc/user
+	SANE_QUIT (ifdeffed yet). don't destruct users immediately on
	/quit, but let them live for 20 more seconds, so that you see
	their leaves on remote servers as "LOCALNICK leaves ..." instead
	of "psyc://LOCALSERVER/~LOCALNICK leaves ...", if you're in the
	same remote room as they are.
net/usercmd.i
+	renderMembers() now does object detection.

	need to read_file() "known" files again and again
-	"fixed" an inheritance bug, really quick, really dirty.
net/usercmd.i
-	/alias, /unalias now case insensitive, although case (as given by user)
	is used for displaying purposes.
=== 2005-02 ============================================================
net/uni.c
*	new module for objects that need to resolve UNLs to UNIs
-	it no longer masks a uni's own locations
net/queue2.c
*	new more straightforward queue implementation by tobij
net/usercmd.i
-	/x works also with aliases
net/group/route.c
*	a simplified variant of group/master which place/basic can inherit
	and based on origin it will deliver only one copy over each link
	that brings group members with it. the essential step to multicasting.
user
+	"sane quit" is a delayed destruct of the user object on quit()
	useful for external psyc clients and other insane situations.

  why? well, imagine a and b being local users, both are in room c on server d.
  a now quits, sends a leave, gets destruct()ed. room casts the leave, but
  user#a is gone, so b sees a psyc://LOCALSERVER/~a leave. quite bad for
  clients that keep track of users in the room (most irc clients do).
  with sane quit, object detection works fine, b sees an a leave.
  well. probably a hack. in cases of, say, a room history (from remote servers)
  we should have some handling for local users with objects not currently
  loaded it might be good to let object detection do something about it, like
  setting source to ... 1. we'd then know to handle _nick as a local user, but
  i'm not sure if we need and want that and how to do it exactly. ideas?
=== 2005-03 ============================================================

		#define PLACE_OWNED
