I've been with EVE since 2008 and honestly I can't remember when CCP added the API endpoints for the Notifications and NotificationTexts. If you ask me it was a poor job done. Sometimes it's better to not ship a new feature at all than shipping it half-finished.

To the point.

Notifications only returns the typeID of the notification and no description (name).
NotificationTexts returns a CDATA section which contains the YAML representation for the notification text (I wonder which genius decided that) instead of the actual text.

So after waiting endlessly all this time for CCP to do their job and fix those issues at some point, I'm finally giving up on waiting.

Therefore, I'm asking the community to help out and help compile a list that we all (3rd party devs) can use in our tools.
The goal for me here is to use this list in EVEMon in order to parse each notification text returned from the API to something meaningful.

You will find more info on how to accomplish that at https://bitbucket.org/Desmont_McCallock/eve-notificationtexts.

For those that want to help but don't want to create a Bitbucket account, just follow the instructions, create an entry, EVE mail it to me and I will add it to the list.

Thanks in advance to all that will give a helping hand.
