Re: [Tsheetx-developers] Proposal of contribution for a French version

[Scott M. <sco...@gm...>]

Hey guys,

I was intrigued with the JText stuff Isabelle pointed to in Joomla.  I
originally was thinking we could just borrow the JText classes etc from
them, but that depends on several other Joomla classes.  Some of those are
also intriguing enough that I'm now considering sucking some more base class
stuff from that project.

Things I think could be useful for tsheetx:

   - JPath      - file system path functions
   - JFolder   - file system folder functions
   - JText      - language translations
   - JObject   - generic object class, the others are built from

I'm sure there are probably other things that could be interesting, but this
is as far as my research has gone thus far.  JStream was also interesting,
but there's so much that we don't need that I really don't want to suck that
in too.

So, I'm sure this is not the first time one project has wanted to borrow
things from a different project.  What are the feelings of others on doing
this?  Currently, I'm thinking I only want to bring a sub-set of the
functionality provided by those classes.  We have little or no need to copy,
create, move, or change files or directories, so, I'm just ripping all the
unneeded functionality out.  I will be crediting the Joomla project of
course.
