My List of things which could be improved in, or added at Wikka
(the items are listed in descending priority)- I18n, L10n=> WikkaInternationalization, HandlingUTF8
- a better System for Categorys => CategorySystemOverhaul
- A Calendar/organizer => GmBowenCalendar & see below
- E-Mail and => WikkaAndEmail & see below for some thoughts
- Toc (Table of Content) -> already implementet in WackoWiki
- Usermanagement -> UserAdmin
- User-to-User-Messages-System (working on this...see MailBox...the code (so far) is there....feel free to play with it - GmBowen)
- Access to the Config.php through a wikka-interface
- Footnotes (http://www.istitutocolli.org/uniwakka/FootNote)
- OpenOffice import/export
And, naturely, everything which gives Wikka new features oder improves the usability/the code.
Handling the Config
moved!Issue-based Calendar
moved!Idea and Features
So le'ts think about the things which are necessary for this:- should be able to get the necessary information from the user (e-mailserver, username, passwort,...)
- establish/close a connection to the server
- get the mail from the server (pop3, imap4)
- store the mail in the database
- show the mail (one mail, one page?, a list of mails which can be sorted after date, sender, from, size...?)
- deal with attachments
- asend mails (smtp)
- final goal would be: I type a name in the search and get a list of the last e-mails sended to and recieved from him
- should be able to be linked with an adressbook and the calendar
- question: store the connection information for every user in the user-settings page? Perhaps allow only some users to use the e-mail action?

- https://sourceforge.net/projects/poppawid/ popper_mod-wid is a free, full featured web based email client written in PHP. It is an extension of the now abandoned \"popper_mod\" project which was an extension of the origional popper. It runs on any server that can run PHP and mySQL. Uses POP and S
- php/MySQL based webmail program. Currently only supports pop3, IMAP is in the works. Has a notebook, a favorites organizer and an addressbook.

RFCs
- old standard: 822
- new standard: 2822
- "envelope" (transmission and delivery) -> 2821 (old standard: 821)
- MIME document series [RFC2045, RFC2046, RFC2047, RFC2048, RFC2049] for non ascii-messages (and audio, video,etc.?)
RFC2822
- only standard for messages, not for audio, images etc.
- This specification is intended as a definition of what message content format is to be passed between systems.
- local storage is outside of the scope of this standard.
- Note: This standard specifies that messages are made up of characters in the US-ASCII range of 1 through 127.
Length
- length of a line without CRLF: 998 char. max, 78 char. recommended (2822)
Header
- name of header, followed by a colon (":"), followed by a field body and terminated by CRLF (2822)
- body: US-ASCII (2822) except colon
- header can be spread about multiple lines (folding white space after CRLF) -> should be unfolded (simply removing any CRLF
To do
read all the rtfslook what oother free php e-mail programms do and who
look up php-sendmail
whait till Javawomen has finished WikkaAndEmail and see what could be used :-)
