Obviously, we cannot mandate that every patch have a bug number, and I'm not going to use that as a criteria for rejecting patches for 3.2.

Flames? This is a strong accusation. TMPL_ELSIF is a useful construct, and if there is a portability problem on one platform, it is better to at least try fix the root cause. As I recall, Joe, one of the "LibLimeys", spent a great deal of time working with you on #koha to debug the issue. Do you seriously consider this to be evidence of a LibLime effort to flame you, or are you objecting to any criticism whatsoever of your patches? No patch should be above constructive criticism, including any that LibLime submits. Regarding your implication that BibLibre is being put off by LibLime's "flames", are you claiming to speak for them? I'm sure Paul can speak for himself. > "Galen Charlton" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> I recognize that you have pressures on your time.

Again, I assume Paul can speak for himself. If some bugs get entered in French or any other non-English language, so be it: we all have access to online translators. However, I would still encourage most bugs to be submitted in English; not only does this improve the ability for everybody to search to bug database, for better or worse, English is the only language that contributors to core Koha have in common.
