To Do

This is an informal list of tasks yet to be done for the MUES.

Immediate Tasks

• Core
  • Add ‘bans’ code to Engine.
  • I18n via GetText:

        http://home2.highway.ne.jp/mutoh/tools/ruby/en/ruby-gettext.html
    

  • Finish unit tests.
  • Better and more-useful error-handling. Errors from Environments should never

        crash the server.
    

• ObjectStore
  • Fix flatfile backend to keep the store locked and open (as opposed to re-opening the file every time) while it is in existance. This may require ripping some code out of PStore, or perhaps using an alternative similar library like HStore (www.sevasoftware.com/hstore) or
  • Finish the DBI ObjectStore backend.
  • Add other backends for other kinds of storage.
  • Integrate Ryan Pavlik‘s Criteria module (mephle.org/Criteria/)?
• IO Subsystem:
  • Cleanup/refactor some of the really heinously long methods in TelnetOutputFilter.
  • Finish OutputEvent decorators for wrapping, paged output, markup, etc. Undo

        current unfinished class-per-decoration implementation for a
        Decorator-pattern-based approach.
    

  • Add telnet option configuration parameters to the constructor, and make more use of some of the useful telnet (sub-)?options.
  • Work on an OutputFilter (probably a derivative of TelnetOutputFilter) that

        uses readline or has readline-like capabilities.
    

  • Implement the commands in server/shellCommands/TODO.
