- (If you save this to a text file it looks better)
-
- Where there are TWO names for ONE module, the programmers
- should contact each other and swap ideas. Please be open
- about this, it is a "team" effort and we ALL win in the end!
-
- Modules that need to be written:
-
- MODULE DESCRIPTION PROGRAMMER
- ------------------ ----------
-
-
- Discussions. (forums, pubs...) NoamF
-
- Files. (uploads/downloads) There are sub modules for
- this module that handles Xmodem, Zmodem etc.. N Hawthorn
- (a limited version)
-
- Edits the userlist. Weeds old users, deletes N Hawthorn
- users etc...
-
- Userlist Maint. Checks whole file for problems, N Hawthorn
- missing characters etc... Compacts user file.
-
- File list maint. Checks all files for problems, N Hawthorn
- missing files etc... Makes "list of all files
- on this BBS", Compacts all file lists.
-
- Sends several Bulletins, reads them from a folder,
- asks user which one to read.
-
- System Daily Stats. Makes a text file for the day
- showing all types of good information that you ignore!
-
-
- User config edit. Lets the user change his configuration.
- N Hawthorn
-
- Handles network functions. Interfaces to a network Ken McKitt
- program (such as "Tabby"). Watches for "network mail"
- calls. There may be several of these modules written
- for each type of network (fido, CatNet...). A system
- may not function properly with two different network
- modules, this depends on the modules used.
-
- Looks at the user's # of times on and prints a
- message accordingly (from a text file). Like
- "you can find files in the files section" for
- 1st, 2nd and 3rd call. "advanced users use the
- 'I' command to get faster access" for users over
- 10 calls. It should be totally configurable. It
- could also look at the users access level and
- send messages accordingly.
-
- Sends a message ONE TIME only to the user. Checks
- the first line (which it doesn't send out) for
- a date. If this date is in the user's record then
- the message is bypassed. When the sysop enters a
- new message with a new date, the message is shown
- to all users at log on ONCE ONLY.
-
- Sends the date/time with the Day spelled out.
-
- New file search at log on for "file" type BBS's.
- Should be configurable to ask (Y/N) or just do it.
- Same code could be used to check for messages in
- "forum" areas (They are called "Discussions"
- on MUBBS).
-
- Makes a text file of the user information for
- all users (selected by sysop menu).
-
- Sorts the users by all kinds of different criteria
- and displays them on screen (can be printed to a
- file or printer).
-
- A customizable logon qustionaire for new users
- that asks extra questions about the user.
- This same code could be used for a voluntary
- questionaire (for dating type systems?).
-
- Lets a user auto validate by entering a password you
- give them (selected from the main menu).
-
- External interface for other BBS externals & games.
- This would only work with modules that do not depend
- on the particular BBS system files! Something like
- games that do not edit users, or look at any BBS
- system files.
-
- Dial back security module
-
- MANUALS:
-
- You should supply some type of HELP file.
-
- Each module should come with a "READ ME" or "instructions" type file
- when distributed. This will be the full instructions for the module.
- Some modules may be so simple that the "help" file will suffice.
