- Documentation
- Tests
- Better admin integration
- Multilingual newsletters
- Plain text emails
- Template backends
- Hash generator backends
- Tracker backends (i.e. fetch data from a local or a remote app/service)
- Restructure things so that Newsletter becomes a
Proxymodel to a more generic Message model. Basically, make this a mailling app and not strictly a newsletter one. - Add the ability to add content from other models in the newletter/message.
- Newsletters with different authors/sender names and emails
- Make all views class based so that their extension becomes easier.
- Make models as extensible as possible, taking into account the possibility of model subclasses.
Constant efforts
- Simplicity, ideally this should be a plug-and-play app
- Configuration/extensibility without sacrificing simplicity (if possible)
