Developers of Sympa

[David Verdin <address@concealed>]

Just so I don't forget and you notice: for a lot of scenarios, all possible actions (owner, editorkey, etc.) are not always taken into account. For example, in some occasion, you might want to make a message moderated by owners instead of editors. People are twisted this way. Well you can't. the "owner" action is not always implemented. In such a situation, your message will just remain in spools untils cleaned up by Sympa one week later.

We should generalize the scenario evaluation process - probably by some kind of meta configuration - i.e. configuration at the module level (let's say, in a hash) instead of the app level, configuration that the final user can't edit. This configuration should handle, for each moderated end-user action (send, subscribe and so on) what each scenario action (do_it, request_auth and so on) should do. This would be simpler than the long functions we use for now.

This is on my opinion a potential objective for 7.0, whose aim is code clarity.

Best regards,

David
