General Roundup project TODO list. Note that some of these are semi-formed
ideas. Those ideas that don't make the cutoff for the next major release are
punted automatically into the subsequent major release TODO.

======= ========= ============================================================
State   Component Description
======= ========= ============================================================
pending example   meta/parent bug implementation (feature request #506815)
pending example   replace the "extended" example with a "help desk" one, and
                  rename "classic" to "bug tracker"
pending example   script for retrieval of "mbox" archive of all messages
pending hyperdb   range searching of values (dates in particular).
                  Filter specifies {property: (comparison function, value)}
                  comparison functions: lt, le, eq, ge, gt. eq and
                  [value, value, ...] implies "in"
pending hyperdb   make creator, creation and activity available pre-commit
pending hyperdb   migrate "id" property to be Number type
pending instance  split instance.open() into open() and login()
pending mailgw   allow commands (feature request #556996)
                 like "help", "dump issue123" (would send all info about
                 issue123, including a digest of all messages, but probably
                 not all files...), "list issue", ...
pending mailgw   Allow multiple email addresses at one gw with different default
                 classes and property values (possibly through command-line
                 args to the mailgw as invoked in the mail delivery "aliases"
                 file) eg::

                   roundup: "|roundup-mailgw /instances/dev"
                   vmbugs: "|roundup-mailgw /instances/dev component=voicemail"

pending project  have the demo allow anonymous login
pending security an LDAP user database implementation
