    Ok, here are few ideas on what I would like to see in Webdistro.  If you are intersted in doing one of them.  Please, drop a message here and say what it is that you are working on. (So this way its not done twice) I have to find a good way to handle patchs.  I am a little lost on how CVS works. 

    Windows support (Make sure it works)
    Other databases (Make tables and any changes to make it work in msql, ms-sql,oracle,etc)
    Spell check throughout the program
    Nicer icons ?
    Themes
    Help menus
    Change another users password in admin
    IMAP and POP server that would verify user accounts and password through the database.

    [ Extra ]
    Spell checking for email

    I am going to start porting things to use the new group struture.  I think I have a good idea on how to do it.  So it might be a couple of days before the next release. I'll see how things go.

      Well, I just got a contract that needs webmail and calendaring, so its time for me to jump in and help you finish a few things I need with webdistro.

      I am going to start reading thru the code and getting myself familiar with it. This job list is 10 days old, so can you update what needs to be done?

        This is off the top of my head:

        - Muli-langague support.  (There are currently people porting it out to Italian and Turkish)  We have decied on the modular method.  Basicly each program would have there own include file for that langague.  Cuts back on un-needed overhead.

        In other words
        lang/en/en_common.inc
        lang/en/en_addressbook.inc
        lang/en/en_admin.inc
        ... etc ...

        lang/it/it_common.inc
        lang/it/it_addressbook.inc
        ... etc...

        This might take a while to get full up and running.

        - Calendar - view by day, hovering description.  (Take a look at webcalendar 0.9.15) (I am currently working on this)
        - Cleaner forms throughout the program.
        - Better search routines
        - More databse support (mSQL, Oracle, MS-SQL, etc)
        - Windows support (Server side)
        - Make sure that the group support for the calendar is working correctly.
        - Spell checking.  (I am a horriable speller, and I know that there are tons of spelling errors throughout the program)
        - Number of matchs for addressbook and todo list.  If you have 28 matchs, you will notice that it looks very odd. eg, Showing 10 - 30 of 8
        - Better admin section.
        - Combine index.php3 and serach.php3 ?? (addressbook and todolist)
        - Trouble Ticket System (There where a few people that wanted to work on it, but, I have not heard anything since, so the status of it is pretty much unknown)
        - Bookmarks program.  I would love to include bookmarker, but, it would be a serious pain in the neck to port it.  Is pretty ugly in there :)
        - Better filters throught the program.

        Thats all I can think of off the top of my head, I will post more if I can think of anything.  Anyone want to include anything ?

        BTW: I will have the table locking issue resolved in the next release.

          I thought up a few more:
          - more themes
          - Javascript popup window for calendar search.  (I can't seem to get it to work properly)
          - Feature to allow users to see who is in there user groups.  This way, they know who sees it when the post it group global.
          - Help menus (Javascript pop would be nice)
          - Documentation.  (I think this could hold off for a little while, since the program is changing so much.)

          Please, keep in mind, if you use javascript make sure you can do the same thing without it.  (or something close to it).  I would rather not make it require javascript.  Since I do 95% of my development on the console with a text based browser.

          Dan Kuykendall - 2000-06-18

          Is anyone working on getting aeromail in? If so, who and do they need help?

          Here is the list I need for my project, so these are the things I need to focus on first. Once this immediate need is satisfied I will help work on the other stuff you want to do.
          I need the following:
          Webmail (aeromail), hopefully with spell-check (I will work on spell checking support)
          Contacts, which will work with aeromail for sending (contacts is working, I dont know what it will take to get it working with aeromail)
          Calendering, some shared (already done from whats Ive have seen)
          ToDo/Task list (I think you have this done)

          All peices need to be multiuser with a single loggin for all features (so far you have this done)

          Well, these are the peices I need by the 1st of July, spell checking excluded. If I cant get Aeromail in myself, I may be able to pay the person who is, to hurry up the effort.
