Please look at theses error messages, find duplicates, find a english readable enumeration member name and put it in the enum at the bottom of the code.

If few of you do this, there will be the base for cobra warning refactoring, thanks.

Discussion

2009-01-14, Chuck Esterbrook: Why is this a wiki page instead of a ticket? How does this help document Cobra for the users?

2009-01-15, Gauthier Segay: I just took a post from you about  Warning Id for the compiler and checked the use of warning signaling, instead of skipping to another task I thought the wiki could be a workspace for editing the messages and have your agreement for the enumeration name before someone could commit to the patch.
