NAME
    TODO - Todo list for WordNet::SenseRelate::AllWords

SYNOPSIS
    Plans for future versions of AllWords, including AllWords.pm, wsd.pl
    driver, and web interface.

DESCRIPTION
  For version 0.19
    1)  Add config file option to the web interface so that it would be able
        to handle the files specified in the configuration file ( for
        example, stoplist file path specified in the configuration file).
        This is not provided now because the client-server model of the web
        interface makes it hard to handle such paths on the server machine.

    2)  Add logging for AllWords.pm. We log allwords_server.pl. However we
        don't log AllWords.pm, which makes it difficult for debugging if
        something goes wrong in the core algorithm.

    3)  Store error code and error message in AllWords object which will be
        useful in AllWords clients, that is allwords_server.pl and wsd.pl.
        We can check for those errors and take appropriate actions in the
        client code.

    4)  Had a number of reported test failures in 0.08 due to WordNet
        version issues. Need to add version checks to test cases to avoid
        this. These tests should use WordNet::Tools, not the deprecated
        version() method in QueryData.

    5)  Expanding set of POS tags that can be used, either by modifying
        AllWords.pm or allowing user to submit a config file of some kind
        defining the tag set. At present limited to Penn TreeBank set of 47
        tags.

    6)  Return codes that identifies trace level (to enable color coding).

    7)  Graceful shutdown and restart of web server. Allow for a stop or
        restart command from the command line, rather than having to kill
        the process.

    8)  Make a design decision about whether web interface should
        communicate directly with AllWords.pm via disambiguation method, or
        should use wsd.pl command.

    9)  Develop methods for testing web interface, or at least directly
        testing disambiguate method as used by web interface. Should have
        test cases that can be run to demonstrate problems as listed here,
        and also make sure that once they are fixed they stay fixed.

    10) Expand the testing in /t for AllWords.pm and wsd.pl. Right now it's
        quite minimal, and has very limited coverage. We should have
        multiple .t files, organized in some way to indicate what kind of
        testing we are doing, maybe based on format and then options being
        used, as in tagged.t for testing pos tagged data, wntagged.t for
        wordnet tagged data, raw.t or plain.t for that format, and so there.
        There is no reason that the testing be confined to one file per
        module or program as it is now.
