General

Refactoring

• Use ZCA? No: imapfw.interface
• Use typing.
• Controllers, drivers: improve getOwnerName() method name.
• Put types into imapfw.annotation.
• Rename runners of engines to Engine.run.
• Complete interfaces.
  • Signature checking.
  • __getattr__: declare interfaces in docstring.
  • Make all modules use imapfw.interface.
  • Unit tests for imapfw.interface.
  • Bind interfaces documentation to providers.

General improvements

• Introduce CONTRIBUTING. [assigned @nicolas33]

Rascal

• Expose IMAP timeout.
• Sane & documented minimal rascal.

Features

• Support asyncio?

Testing

• Unit tests for object imported from rascal actions.testrascal.
  • Accounts.
  • Repositories.
  • Controllers.
  • Drivers.
• Tests with Fake driver (full static responses).

Drivers

• Support Gmail. Might be better as a controller!
• Have version number, maintainer, contact, etc. Force redefinition in any child.

Controllers

• Have version number, maintainer, contact, etc. Force redefinition in any child.

Required controllers

• DryRun: Enable a --dry-run CLI option.
• Transcode: handle UTF-7 right.
• ReadOnly: turn a repository in read-only mode.
• NameTrans: well-known feature. :-)
• Fake: static fake of end-drivers. Amazingly usefull while developing!
• PartialFake: same as Fake but won't fake everything.

Crazy ideas of controllers

• Duplicate: dups either side to another repository. Sounds like "chaining" repositories.
• Sieve: a Sieve updater.
• Eveis (palindrome of Sieve): dynamically filter new mails on client side with Sieve language.
• Partials: partial fetches for large bodies.
  • Optionally discard large attachements.
• Prefetch: allow pre-fetching some data. (Really usefull?)

Others

Documentation

• Global review.
• Generate documentation (sphinx) for the website (like in offlineimap).

Screencasts

• Global design of syncAccounts.
• The framework: introduce the 3 ways to get things done (dict-based actions, rascal-based actions with imapfw.api and as a master-library)
• The controllers.
