Planned Additions

We plan to include the following features in the Competition Services, but these features have not yet been implemented.

• Banned user lists
  Banned users should be prohibited from participating in one or more Competitions, and any Submissions by a banned user should be isolated from the general populations of Submissions.
• Customizable Amazon Simple Notification Services messaging tools
  Competition administrators should have tools to configure a selective Amazon instance to listen for messages pertaining to Competitions which they own. These messages should be sent to a queue dedicated to Competitions.
• Immutable copies of the submitted Entities
  Once an Entity is submitted to a Competition, a static copy of that Entity should become the property of the Competition administration.
  
• Administrator lists for Competitions
  Competitions should support administration by multiple users (rather than just the Competition owner). These admin lists should function as a lightweight ACL of sorts.
• Multi-author Submissions
  Competitions should support team Submissions, where more than one Synapse user claims authorship of a given Submission.
