WISHLIST

App::Dochazka::REST Wishlist

This file is for feature requests, cleanup tasks, and other issues that 
are worth pursuing "when the time is right".

------------------------------------------------------------------------
LDAP: implement a "GET ldap/info" resource

    This resource would return:

    - LDAP server: string (e.g. pan.suse.de)
    - alive: boolean value

    Would need to implement a "ping" routine in LDAP.pm

    Adapt LDAP tests to skip if LDAP is enabled but server is not reachable.

SQL: use jsonb instead of text in schedules table
https://github.com/smithfarm/dochazka-rest/issues/55

    In the "schedules" table, intervals are stored as a JSON structure
    in a column called "schedule". However, the SQL type of this column
    is text:

        schedule   text UNIQUE NOT NULL

    This is because, at the time the SQL was written, the jsonb feature
    of PostgreSQL was still a WIP.

    As of PostgreSQL 9.4 the jsonb feature is in production and we can
    migrate to it.

Implement site policy table
https://github.com/smithfarm/dochazka-rest/issues/25

    The use case for a policy table is as follows: we have a site
    configuration mechanism, but the SQL code cannot access it.

    SQL-relevant configuration values, such as what constitutes "too far in
    the future" for the not_too_future() stored procedure, could be stored
    in a "policy" table and accessed via a Policy class.

    The idea is that each policy would define a scalar value used in a
    function or trigger. This would give site admins some degree of control
    over the functions/triggers.

    So, site admins would not be able to add or delete policies, but they
    could update them. Each policy object would contain a validation
    attribute defining the range of permissible values.
