Thanks David for posting the update. It's good to see the diverse objectives being talked about in depth. Good groundwork for what looks to be a really productive week.
There were a few topics that caught my fancy in particular. I'll add my two cents in the order that appeared to have a little momentum/interest behind it. 15. Use of AJAX Because of the way the layoutSettings.stylesheets[] has been set up, I think this opens up an approach of best toolkit for the task rather than the best toolkit for the project as a whole. I started playing with openrico's Live Grid over the weekend and it makes me kind of giddy with what a great fit it is for the performFindList service. I'm almost done with a multi-field, update result set with every keystroke solution that I think someone with slightly better javascript skills than myself (which isn't saying much) can 'generify' it for simple widespread use. 6.Applications Style Cleanup Adrian, if you can point out specific patterns that you'd like see changed (I can think of a few regarding splitting ftl files). This seems like an area those of us who need to scratch that OCD itch can tackle. 10. Order Manager: Refactor Checkout Process Anil, I think this comes to the same question that JIRA has seen regarding this. Are we talking about the UI, the business logic or both? From the a,b,c,d of this topic I suspect it's both. As far as the business logic, if you could review http://ofbiz-sandbox.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/ofbiz-sandbox/ofbiz-sandbox/trunk/hot-deploy/shoppingcart/script/org/ofbiz/shoppingcart/ I may be able to find some time during the week to square that off. 18. Setup Wizard The +1s didn't show any interest for this during the conference. Might it be easier to allow for a single external file to hold overrides for some of these config properties using a specific naming pattern. I think this will save time in advancing the effort as people can contribute to the areas where they have knowledge. It will also allow for cleaner SVN checkouts and help keep people closer to svn HEAD. I know I spend quite a bit of time verifying that the config files I've changed in the framework have updated properly. Thanks everyone! Look forward to a busy week! --- "David E.
