Project Ideas

The point of this page is to dump ideas which could be cool/useful/interesting, so not all the stuff here needs to get done. The idea is that someone who has too much free time, or looking to learn more about the subject can go work on it. Please leave your name beside your suggestions, so that people can like ask you about them.

Most of these projects don't require being an admin to work on, in any case, you can drop a message to whoever suggested the project to talk about it. If you would like to suggest a project just create a PR on Github

• Improvement of web boards interface to appeal to newbies (David)
• If you're doing this, you should hang around boards through one of the old fashioned interface for a while first (slrn/tin/thunderbird/whatever. An actual client). A lot of the stuff that's different from normal forum systems is to do with nntp being fundamentally different from web forums, stuff that if you change, you may as well just move to real web forums, and leave INN2 running in the background. Also, isn't this primarly a webmaster thing? Anyway, just my 2c.- lil_cain
• MuffinReader
• Motd system with database/web stuff so everyone can use it (receive)
• rewrite useradm to be sane. See Github Repo
• rb-ldap was an attempt to do this. All read opperations work but writes do not
• ticketing system (lil_cain)
• openID.redbrick.dcu.ie - this should be possible with shiboleth
