Standardize on "cancelled".
QuLogic: so, canceled or cancelled? that patch on #12130 is pretty thorough...
wabz: cancelled :D
wabz: that cancelled thing actually bothered me in the past
wabz: never quite enough to do such a patch :p
elb: that's an en_US vs en_GB thing
elb: both are correct, but canceled is more common in en_{US,CA} and cancelled in en_{GB,AU,NZ,etc.}
elb: personally, I use cancelled
QuLogic: yea, that's what I went for before, but I think I couldn't change any strings because we were frozen
QuLogic: you all had to pick the spelling that was opposite from the guy's patch, didn't you...
rekkanoryo: well, considering we're generally en_US in our strings, it should be canceled in our source
elb: considering they're both correct, and while I'm anal retentive, I'm not anal retentive about that, I have no preference ;-)
rekkanoryo: I don't really care either way, I just think that we should be consistently en_US or en_GB throughout
elb: right
elb: my point is, they're both correct for en_US
elb: one 'l' is simply more common
rekkanoryo: ah
rekkanoryo: if they're both technically correct for en_US, then "cancelled" is my vote
rekkanoryo: one 'l' always looks wrong to me
elb: the dictionary claims they are
Sorry, dwc.
Closes #12130.

If you plan to use Pidgin, Finch and libpurple from our Monotone repository, PLEASE read this message in its entirety! Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple are a fast-moving project with a somewhat regular release schedule. Due to the rate of development, the code in our Monotone repository undergoes frequent bursts of massive changes, often leaving behind brokenness and partial functionality while the responsible developers rewrite some portion of code or seek to add new features. What this all boils down to is that the code in our Monotone repository _WILL_ sometimes be broken. Because of this, we ask that users who are not interested in personally tracking down bugs and fixing them (without a lot of assistance from the developers!) use only released versions. Since releases will be made often, this should not prevent anyone from using the newest, shiniest features -- but it will prevent users from having to deal with ugly development bugs that we already know about but haven't gotten around to fixing. If you are interested in hacking on Pidgin, Finch, and/or libpurple, please check out the information available at: http://developer.pidgin.im By far the best documentation, however, is the documented code. If you have doxygen, you can run "make docs" in the toplevel directory to generate pretty documentation. Otherwise (or even if you do!), the header files for each subsystem contain documentation for the functions they contain. For instance, conversation.h contains documentation for the entire purple_conversation_* API, and account.h contains documentation for the purple_account_* API. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the Pidgin, Finch, and libpurple developers by email at devel@pidgin.im or on IRC at irc.freenode.net in #pidgin. Please do as much homework as you can before contacting us; the more you know about your question, the faster and more effectively we can help! Patches should be posted as Trac tickets at: http://developer.pidgin.im
