I totally agree with you here: I really appreciate the persons that join a new list and take their time in silence reading posts and learning before asking or (even worst) throwing out (misleading) assertions and complaints and advices to other new users. I think it is a wise, intelligent and correct way of starting with a new project. Jacopo I might add that this will change as more LURKERS become better aquainted and are able to create projects that actually work... Maybe separate areas for developing new pieces. In a modular fashion would encourage interested LURKERS to learn faster. I am sure it will attract others interested in those projects and suddenly you get ACTIVE participants.

Jeff, Hi Jacques Lurkers equals Learners... You really can't do more than LEARN until you completely understand what you are dealing with. Don't wait to completely understand OFBiz else you will never begin ;o) I might add that this will change as more LURKERS become better aquainted and are able to create projects that actually work... I hope so. Maybe separate areas for developing new pieces. In a modular fashion would encourage interested LURKERS to learn faster. I am sure it will attract others interested in those projects and suddenly you get ACTIVE participants. Yes we discussed about this recently. But as you may have seen this is difficult for legal reasons. Jacques Regards Jeff jacques.le.roux wrote: Thanks Jacopo, Mmm, much lurkers...

I think we have a ways to go to get there, and getting each started will require a fair amount of administrative overhead, so my guess is that it will take some calendar time and a lot of volunteer hours to get to that point. -David I think there's quite a bit of interest and at least a few volunteers in the area of modularizing the apps (seems to have already been done for the most part with modularizing the framework from the apps). Would you mind sharing your views on a roadmap for this that will spark discussion so that those interested are better tempted to put their efforts in an area that will benefit the community in addition to their personal interests? Thanks! The eventual project structure that I am imagining, and that has been discussed on and off over time, would include a main OFBiz project with the following sub-projects: 1. OFBiz Framework (the framework/ directory, and the stuff in the ofbiz.home/root directory) 2. OFBiz Core Applications (the applications/ directory) 3. OFBiz SP: POS (specialpurpose/pos/) 4. OFBiz SP: Asset Maintenance (specialpurpose/assetmaint/) 5. OFBiz SP: Handheld Facility/Warehouse App (specialpurpose/hhfacility) 6. OFBiz SP: other future special purpose apps derived from the Core Applications It is conceivable (or likely) that even the current ecommerce component will move into the special purpose category (and directory) at some point. To help draw the line between Core versus Special Purpose, and on a more controversial topic using an example from outside of OFBiz, something like the OpenSourceStrategies financials component would be part of #2 (the Core Applications), and something like their crmsfa application would be in #6, ie a special purpose app derived from other Core Applications. -David smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature
