[Mailadmin-devel] Re: Freeze on 1.5.x, call for features on 2.0

[Chris B. <ch...@hu...>]

Hi All,

  Ok, now that 1.5.2 is out the door, I'd like to retire that package so we 
can work on a newer version that is much more flexible, and can be 
configured fairly easily. 1.5.x I'd like to leave as a bug fix only version 
with new versions going into a 2.x version. This is what I'd like to have 
as part of my wish list:

- Change to a session based platform, rather then cookie based. Cookie 
usage is outdated when dealing with PHP and sessions are much easier to 
maintain.
- A flow based means to manage ACL controls on folders, for both cyrus+sasl 
and cyrus2+sasl2 based systems. James started some work on this area based 
on older work that I had in place, but we both felt 1.5.x based ACL 
controls were going to be somewhat limited anyway.
- fully PHP based, remove as much of the perl code as possible. I don't yet 
know if this will be possible, but I'd like to remove some of the issues 
we've been having with SUID based scripts.
- I new interface, allowing administrators to move around the system a 
little easier.
- Give the user (non-admin accounts) more control over their own mailboxes....
- Change in the file structure framework, so that we can simplify some 
screens a little more.

  This is a small wish list, but it's also a set of ideas I've been 
thinking about for the last year or so, anyone have any additional items to 
add?


Woops, resending due to snipage..
