What do you require in a directory script?

    I'm working on a new directory script (FOSS) in Python and was just wondering what people who run directory sites want that's not included in their present script. Reply with your list of mandatory features as well as your wish list for features.

    I'm running eSyndicat, I wish there was a way to delete bad listings while looking at the individual listing. I also wish there was a way to send emails directly from the listing rather than having to use email templates. And it would be really nice to have an easy way to add pictures to listings like it is with WordPress.

    The biggest must have for me that most of the others do have is custom fields. I think that is the quickest way for a directory owner to get more content as well as differentiate themselves from everyone else.

    It would be perfect if there is an automatically email notification send to the listing owner once the listing is going to expire before a certain period like one day, one week, or one month.
