There was a bit that I missed - and this is a common thing that keeps coming 
back up when we get together and talk:

OFBiz could deliver more than one product. We could have more than one product 
active at the same time e.g

   - Framework with applications
   - Advanced UI but without all features
   - Advanced features but with the poor UI

This is also something that we could think about for the high level strategy.

Thanks
