[Koha-devel] Koha namespace architecture - calls for discussions

Sounds good to me: If Patron export needs some additional functionality, add Koha::Patron::Export on top of Koha::Exporter.

Agreed. Not very intuitive to put a GetBorrowers... inside OldIssues.

> 3/ Move C4::Ratings
May not understand it fully. But calculate_avg can return the hashref with values ?

> 4/ Move subroutines not directly related to a Koha::Object In some cases, the move is not very obvious. For instance we have

If get_cardnumber_length in Members is not about a patron's cardnumber, maybe we should not keep them together.

Separate object ?
