Now getting back to the OFBiz project goal, I'm going to have to ever so slightly disagree with our goal stopping there. While I agree that OFBiz is a comprehensive enterprise information automation system - and I'm WAY stoked to be working on it - I think that OFBiz is FAR more than just a framework that people use to build applications. In fact if OFBiz is just a framework - than what application out there that takes some configuration (note that I didn't say customization) isn't?
Just to clarify, I really do agree with this. Maybe if I took my scope paragraph and split it into some bullet points it would make it more clear... In general though the goal of OFBiz is as stated on the home page. It is meant to be a comprehensive enterprise information automation system: 1. the core of the project is intended to include a general framework for efficiently building applications 2. plus a complete set of applications (data model, services, UI elements) to automate general business processes and support "most of what most companies need to operate" 3. on top of those we also have (and plan to have more of) a number of more "special purpose" applications that are used for specific types of users or organizations -David
