While going through some unread JIRA notification I came across:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9896, and I took a peek at the
starting point: https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/partymgr/control/main

I find it a bit curious that we have in the party menu:

   1. Create Employee
   2. Create Customer
   3. Create Prospect

#1 is clearly a function that belongs in the HR department, and we have a
specific component (HRM) for that. Equally so, #2 and #3 belong in the
CRM/Sales domain, and we also a specific component (SFA) for that.

If we continue with this, the next committer will feel entitled to add
similar functions for supplier, vendor, tax authority, any kind of (N)GO,
trucker, patient, HR Representative, worker, manager, etc.

Would it not be beneficial to both the project and its adopters when we:

   - provide a clear description about what and for whom the application is
   intended for;
   - remove the above mentioned menu-items (and the associated screens, and
   services) from the component, and (if necessary) create/move these to the
   above mentioned business domain specific components?

Best regards,
