I am at a loss to understand why everyone is suddenly bashing us for following the rules and the release path we were encouraged to use for these features. Other companies and developers have followed the same procedure (new features released on a public git repository) but that doesn't seem to be a problem, and those features have been updated and integrated. A project with roughly six times the number of patches as ours is currently being worked with resources volunteered by another company.
This is untrue, the offer was for Catalyst to help out with community QA, if anything it will result in more errors being found and more work needing to be done by Biblibre. So the QA work is being done by Catalyst for the community, not for Biblibre, it is still their responsibility to rebase and send their patches in a form that can be integrated. However, since Biblibre have never tried to register a trademark in NZ on an indigenous word that is part of my heritage. And in fact have signed over the European Union mark to HLT as requested by the community. I count them as good friend and were they to ask me for help, I would happily give it. Chris
