Re: [Tiki-devel] Smarty 4.0 with PHP 8 support

> Good point luci. It's a case of "picking our poison"…

I agree with Marc on this, Tiki24 is our next LTS and will be the standard for many years.
It should be at the edge (without too much risks) so it can be used for the next 5 years… 😳

Now his may require extra resources… Resources we don’t have but may be sponsored by a Canadian Company ? 😉 
(Meaning Evoludata team is involved… else it can be suicidal - just being realistic)

I’m ok to set up a real life clone of a Tiki running using a lot of Smarty templates (with access) and test if it helps.

Regards,
Bernard
