Frederic Wenzel commented on MNT-1410:
--------------------------------------
The email feature could still be there. It does not *have to*, though. But as the Backend also used to have an email feature (admin email if one of the build processes breaks) we might think about re-implementing a central email class usable by us as well as module authors. I am gonna file a task about that.

> As discussed in IRC with danny_osl and wenzel, we need to decide how to implement object dumps/representations. The old way is to Email a comma separated value report to the user. We are thinking of new ways to do this. We had the following ideas
> ** Each object knows how to make its own CSV/XML ie $host->csv()
> ** The form knows how to make the CSV/XML for each object
> ** A module knows how to make the CSV/XML for *all* objects
> This brings up the following quesitons:
> * How should the reports be formatted
> ** Straight field dump or pretty representations
> * What will this be used for
> ** Reporting
> ** DB backup/restore
> Sorry to cut short but please add thoughts
