Hi Anna, why specifically do you think that a German version would be needed in addition to the already available English version? (I'm not on facebook.) In general, I'm open to the suggestion, but I don't believe we'll translate the CLA to all contributor's languages. Regards, mg Am 08.01.14 14:13, schrieb Anna Brakoniecka:

Hello,

due to the mentioned issue of code contribution, I have a question related to it. Torsten Thau put the question already in the OTRS Facebook group, but there is no answer yet, even if some weeks passed by. The answer is important for (among all) me, because capeIT has been contributing to the OTRS-project for years

* by delivering bug fixes, code, free additional modules (ImportExportExtensions, ITSMAttributeCollection, KIX4OTRS, ConfigureCallHome, etc., the complete list at http://www.cape-it.de/free-otrs-community-additional-modules.html and OPAR http://opar.perl-services.de/package/author/CAPEIT )

* and community work (among all our input in the OTRS forum and mailing lists).

*My question:* is there a chance of getting the Contributor License Agreement in German? Until now, the document is only in English. The German aspect is important due to the German jurisdiction that would be relevant for German-speaking code contributors.

Is there any answer, I could get to this question? Thanks in advance for any hint. Even a pure "No" would be already helpful.

Kind regards, Anna Brakoniecka

Hi Paul,

great, looking very much forward to your pull requests.

It is always good if the code does not change the behaviour (output), but makes it more efficient etc., then it is most easy to integrate for us.

In case of the TemplateGenerator I would ask you to first write some unit tests covering the current behaviour that you want to improve. This is a module that does not have a good test coverage yet. Then apply your optimizations and see if the unit tests still work correctly. Please see scripts/test/TemplateGenerator/ for a very small example, or all the other test cases in scripts/test. Test driven development is always highly recommendable IMHO.

Please let me know if you have any questions about the unit tests.

Regards, mg
