Hi Taher Thanks for sharing your experience as I think it contains some real insights and also re-confirms an important task – we need to tidy up our code. And the one crucial message I hear loud and clear in your email is that we need everyone to help out too.
(BTW I've seen the amount of work that you have done on the start.java which is looking very elegant now :-) Your list re-factoring ideas touch on a lot of areas that I'm sure will generate discussion and I hope that we don't get too caught up in the discussion that we don't act. We need to stay active by continually doing something that improves OFBiz. I agree that we should look at holding off adding new features or improvements now and just clean. I've seen the huge amount of activity that is happening at the moment so let's see if we can maybe focus some of that energy into tidying up our code and getting rid of our ' historic technical debt' (as mentioned by Jacques). It sounds like you have already a list of tasks to replenish our Current Re-Factor To Do list so let's do that and get the message out to the community about what they can do to help. I noticed that if we have a list of tasks that people can pick up easily, then they will. Going forward we may need to have a bit more co-ordination and also work together in small groups focussing on particular areas so things dont get broken, especially once the applications start being affected. I'm happy to help so just let me know how I can.
