configuration/installation:
	
unix:

	- look into getting perl scripts to run correctly on any operating
          system (i.e. the #! stuff) -- those in cgi-bin particularly need
          to work on windows too (#!perl on windows, #!/use/bin/perl on
          linux) -- perlrun manpage

	- add fastcgi to distribution

windows:

	- use Installshield to create windows packages - wait for George to
          decide what he's going to do about InstallShield

	- call server version of cd-rom executable 'standard' and other
          version 'backup' (or maybe 'gold' and 'silver'?)

	- fix up Local Library - somehow need to have option of old server
          and single-user (or Gold and Silver?) within same executable.


tidy up text versions of macro files

see if gimp perl scripts can be set up to handle macrons in a similar may
to umlauts

look into getting Gimp perl scripting to work on windows

create default collection images at build time with gimp script

fix query caching - do caching in receptionist, finish off cross collection
searching, remove any remaining phrase-searching stuff in queryaction -
maybe wait for mgpp before worrying about this

create default images/macros for remaining Dublin core metadata elements -
maybe have a separate macro file for all these things to make it easier to
add to

get remaining plugins tidied up and using passed in options - file
extension option for all plugins (general option within BasPlug)

get all plugins to use multiread object and throw away the specialized GB
plugins

write a gzip/bzip/zip/tar plugin and take any remaining gzip stuff out of
rest of plugins

add Stuart's acronym extraction stuff as a general plugin option (maybe
Dana's date extraction stuff too?)

tidy up classifiers, make collection-specific ones more object oriented,
add section and compact options instead of using separate classifiers - get
classifiers using same option passing code as plugins now use

create a general classifier for doing stuff like NPepaList.pm does. should
handle things like HDLs organization classification, HDLs magazines section
etc.

create a BasClass object for classifiers (like plugins currently
have). probably do all this classifier stuff for gsdl-3.0 as new option
passing stuff will require changes to all the collect.cfg files


config files -- for gsdl-3.0

  - extend configuration file syntax - tidy up all the format stuff -
    replace DocumentImages, DocumentTitles and DocumentHeading with
    DocumentColumn stuff (develop New_Config_Format-branch CVS branch)

  - sort out arrows/paging of browserclasses (for queryaction too!)
    DocumentBottomArrows?? - want arrows at bottom as well as top of pages
    for gberg type collections

  - tidy up automatic help text - need to work out type of collection at
    build time - get rid of the hacky HelpNoDocs, HelpBibDocs and
    HelpBookDocs config file entries

  - fix up collection specific metadata - content negotiation??
    "chapters" = "Kapiteln"
    "section titles" = "Sektionstiteln"
    "entire books" = "ganzen B&uuml;chern"

  - add ability to use a separate formatstring for each index when
    displaying query results


append to init and error logs instead of overwriting

catch niupepa up (and keep cstr up) with new development branch. hopefully
changes to configuration files will minimize the need for specialized
collection-specific receptionists

set up cstr to use configure like niupepa

fix up formattools - bug preventing nested If/Or - check that no 'here'
pointers can run past 'end'

get numwords (and maybe other stats?) working in collection info - maybe
set as macros

tidy things up so that get_collectinfo is only called once per collection
(at init time for fastcgi) - it's currently being called all over the
place. maybe load collection info into recpt.collectinfo structure. load in
as required for each collection so structure would slowly fill up with all
collections when using fastcgi

get BrowseFilter EndResults option to accept -1

add Language metadata to all documents by default??

fix the way the interface language preference is implemented - should check
somewhere that current language matches one of those specified in config
file

bug when classification is empty. CL number still gets incremented so 
formatstrings don't match as expected

create some kind of warning when an attempt is made to build an index on
metadata that is never set. mg currently just craps out during the build

usage page (420 student doing this)

add browserclasses to statusaction

tidy up ohist to remove need for public_html/ohist stuff

WebPlug - optimize to run reasonably quickly? - Currently works (I think)
but processes each frame within each combination of a frameset - this means
some html documents are processed hundreds of times and it takes forever to
build a small collection

look into possibility of clearing highlighting whenever you go to browse
etc.  i.e. highlighting only works when coming directly from a search

update collections - set up auto-updating where needed
        - csbib
	- tidbits
	- tcc - mail updating
	- niupepa
	- gberg

sort documents between importing and building

get polling for new collections to work when using fastcgi

ipc and unesco collections have no 'about' text (maybe others too).

compiler warnings on puka

windows cd-rom version 

	- message in browser selection box to say that IE isn't compatible
	  with 'silver' version (instead of simply greying out selection of
	  IE as currently happens).

	- look into Belgium bug ("Netscape was unable to create a network
          socket connection... " -- NT 4.0 -- no internet connection -- run
          programs/accessories/communication/internet connection wizard,
          answer LAN to all questions -- bug appears to be present if you
          get above error message when attempting to access 127.0.0.1 --
          look into testing for this problem from InstallShield, maybe try
          reading from 127.0.0.1 and see if it times out?

look into need for _LITTLE_ENDIAN flag in mg

tidy up 'related work' page - probably just use simple html page like for
'publications' page. Remove related images from distribution.

ohists RealAudio server appears to be broken

tidy up 'standard' home page. get columns of collections to behave more
reasonably

don't put notbuilt field into build.cfg unless it's used - it causes too
much confusion

'post' data doesn't appear to work with fastcgi

capability to view actual BibTeX entries of csbib (and maybe other?)
collections

scripts for installing w3mir - a .bat version of davids install.sh files

sorting of unicode titles (arabic collection).

get file locking to work on non GSDL_USE_IOS_H compilers (VC++ 6.0)

produce an error message when no "built" collections are available
(currently only produce an error when no collections at all are available)

have another go at getting gsdl_system() function to work properly on
windows 95 (for end-user collection building)
