[Pan-users] before 1.0 or not?

[Duncan]

I finally got around to dredging up my bugzilla account info and
either added or wonder about these bugs before 1.0.  I'm posting them here
so others can see them and chime in if desired.


1.  Keyboard accel for download new messages in group, and new messages in
subscribed groups, suggested "a" and "shift-a":

2.  Of course, customized accels as in old-pan would eliminate the entire
bug class. =8^)

3.  Reminder: news server delete functionality.  This one should probably
be a pre-1.0 must-fix, but you likely know that and just forgot when you
made the .104 announcement:

4.  Thanks for getting the per-group posting-profile thing pre-1.0. =8^) 
Might it be possible to make the posting server a function of the posting
profile? It's not a big issue for me presently as my groups are
server-exclusive where it counts, but several have requested a way to
control what server gets used for posting (posting using the wrong one
can be embarrassing or even dangerous, particularly for things like posts
to to the net-abuse groups from servers using unmunged nntp-posting-host
-- talk about an expressway to cracker-target!), and making that part of
posting profile seems about the most intuitive way to manage it than I can
figure.  Given the potential user risk, and the greater exposure  1.0 will
have, IMO getting posting server prefs of /some/ sort into 1.0 should be
seriously considered, anyway.

5.  Minor UI consistency bug: In the news server and posting profiles
dialogs, double-clicking an entry should behave as if the modify button
were pushed.  It does for news servers, but not for posting profiles.

I don't necessarily expect all of those to make it into 1.0, but the
delete server could be considered "completion", and the posting server
could be considered almost a security issue (I say that despite the fact
that it's not directly affecting me ATM), so those two are the ones I'd
personally consider most vital for 1.0.  The others would be nice, but we
can do without for now, if they don't make it.  (OTOH, I'd guess except
for customized accels, the others should be trivial to fix.  The big one
is probably posting server selection and as I said IMO it's a risk
thing and should therefore be fixed before the wide use of a stable, so...)
