I spoke with Tim about this and some clarification might be helpful.
What the ASF is actually looking for, based on what I heard from
people (and this seems to be consistent with what Tim heard when I
spoke with him):
1. project management (replace Jira)
2. content management (replace the various wiki servers)
3. foundation management (replace lots of scripts and manually
maintained text files)
To push these along and start better defining what these mean, I've
added some skeletons to the Universal Business Process Library with
stories specific to these purposes:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBREQDES/Story+of+Apache+OFBiz
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBREQDES/Story+of+Apache+Software+Foundation
For an intro to the UBPL and to see what these will be like:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBREQDES/UBPL+Introduction
If anyone would like to get involved with ideas (go into the Ideas to
Incorporate section) or on the Story itself, please write to the list
and start sending ideas about things to include, or activities that we
perform as part of OFBiz and as part of ASF.

Calling all people who'd like to be a part of the effort to finish
the implementation of CRMSFA in OFBiz!
I'm sure that everyone knows the history of the CRMSFA application
in OFBiz and other derivative applications, so I won't go into that
detail here, but needless to say, we've had a request to complete
the CRMSFA application in OFBiz by the ASF for internal use (and
we've got almost all of the pieces sitting there already). As many
of you know, this is a pretty big deal and this discussion continued
into other realms as the ASF wants to eat their own dog food, and
OFBiz happens to be the best platform for building these vertical
applications.
We have a number of resources that could be ready to go on this and
will offer to dedicate someone to help drive the process (as this
tends to help). We'd start / continue driving this thru JIRA, but
it'd be nice to know what other people in the community might want
to be a part of this so that it can be more coordinated. Looking
forward to hearing feedback and excitement over this neat opportunity!
Cheers,
Tim
