*Rationale*

"official" definition.

So for example:
- this is *not* correct (noun): "download Apache OFBiz from here"
- this *is* correct (adjective): "download the Apache OFBiz product from
here"

*Discussion Item*

Can we find a better definition for our product than... "product" or
"software product"?

For example we could consider (after reading this definition [*]):
The "Apache OFBiz" software suite or
The "Apache OFBiz" suite or
The "Apache OFBiz" ERP software suite or
The "Apache OFBiz" ERP suite
etc...

Any ideas? Please try to fill the <?> placeholder below with the string
that you find more suited:

          The "Apache OFBiz" <?>


in our website, announcements, social media etc...
