This mailing list is an informational list to which commit descriptions for=
 patches pushed to the public Koha Git repository (currently git://git.koha=
-community.org/koha.git) are posted.



This list should not be used to discuss individual patches, as not all cont=
ributors will be subscribed to koha-commits. Instead, please use koha-devel=
, koha-patches, or bugs.koha.org for that purpose.



Is this no longer the case?

I don't like that practice because:-



1. the list description "Patches submitted to Koha" gives no

indication it occurs and it's different from other projects' -commit

mailing lists;



2. developers have to subscribe to receive all patches even if they're

only interested in their fields of activity and the occasional

discussions, contributing to information overload;



3. I think the patches are carried in only one of the web forum

versions of our discussions http://koha-community.org/support/forums/



4. usually the patches relate to a bug and email discussion isn't

automatically attached to the bug report - I have started work to

address this, but it's still going to have some delay between

the discussion and posting to the bug report, which may mean the

discussion is irrelevant by the time the bug is told;



5. most importantly, many topics are wider than a single patch,

such as this one about what rich editor to adopt.



Can we overcome these problems, or state clearly that

wider-than-one-patch discussions should be on -devel?



Thanks,
