Nikhil's wishlist

[benesch]

@kohler does it bother you if I keep this here? These are mostly things I think would be fun to implement.

• Integration with Harvard IAM—see also CS50 ID. It seems like 20% of students' "forgot password" emails get lost in the void.
• Web interface for account import—or auto-sync with SIS!
• Web interface for account management.
• GitHub adapter so Gitorious can die. (Although making the grading server itself a git remote seems like fun.)
• Error messages when programs time out, so that users blame their code and not the grading server.
• See if these email-sending tips can get peteramati emails out of spam folders.
• Syntax-highlighted diffs. "But Nikhil, even GitHub doesn't do that!" —Eddie Kohler, two years ago. Times have changed.
• Allow admins to de-anonymize as necessary.
• Known issues warning box to be enabled as necessary.
• Lock a pset for grading.
