The plugin is currently completely automatic and the user cannot choose any of its functions to be activated or not.

We should create a option screen to let the user choose some things, like:

• the post types for which "pending versions" would be activated
• for each supported post type, the taxonomies which should be copied with each action (copy, duplication, erasement)
• for each supported post type, the meta names which sould not be copied with each action: it's imho much more simple to choose that way vs. the ones that should be copied, since the user might not know all of them

These options should be saved through the WordPress Options API (http://codex.wordpress.org/Options_API).

There are already some methods in the include/option.php file of the plugin to get some of those data. For example, PNV_Option::get_post_types() returns supported post types.

The PNV::is_filtered_meta() method should be reviewed to call one PNV_Option method and get filtered metas from it, instead of creating a static array.

The plugin should give the user the ability to schedule the date and hour of an erasement.

For example, let's say a site contains a master post A, and one of its pending versions B. The main action for B is to erase its master: A.
Now, if the user wants to publish this new content at one time in particular (january the first at midnight for example...), we should let them choose that time and do it automagically, like WordPress does with regular scheduled posts.

It think we should then use the actions provided by WordPress core itself for the post scheduling machine: studying is needed here to see if it's possible to schedule a duplicata and then not publishing it, but its master instead...

When an original post has been modified since a pending version has been created, we should inform the user that there could be some lost during the update.

When activating the plugin with a French WordPress install, the WP-Pointer that should appear... doesn't.

When activating "WCK" plugin, an error occurs because of the use of 'add_meta_boxes' hook: this plugin calls it without the second argument ($post).

We should be sure that this argument is present and maybe fill it with a default value.

Hide post status select box for a duplicate when the user click on "quick edit" in the post list.

Use post edition URL to handle duplication actions: this will be more accurate for rights verification.

The French translation of 'None' is currently 'Aucun' instead of 'Aucune' since we're now talking about 'versions' which is a feminine word.
