Re: [Openaaq-discuss] Patron Question Posting Specification

[Martin L. <jm...@un...>]

Hi there Alex...

I'm glad that the work on OpenAAQ continues!..  :)

I'd like to say that, if you have to rewrite the code, it would be VERY=20
useful, to add some support for internationalization (thru templates, or=20
something similar) to make it easy to translate the interface, the text=20
in the email messages, etc.

By the way... that 'meta_desc + view_desc' thing is just great!  :)
