This looks just fine and is consistent with existing descriptions of
OFBiz (de-acronym-ized, of course). It might be nice to add content
management as a specifically mentioned area, and perhaps make it
clear that the scope is fairly large related to enterprise
information by using something like "general" in front of the
"enterprise automation".
Can do. The only thing to be careful of is to not make it too
general. We tend to be cautious about that so that each project has a
clear purpose and intention.
The main thing that limits the scope right now in OFBiz is keeping in
"general" or "generic". In other words, it has the data model,
general services, and general user interfaces that can be used to
build up an enterprise system. This means that "users" will generally
either customize it and build something on top of it, or tolerate
that fact that it is frustratingly generic sometimes.
How to represent this in a brief project description is another
question... Perhaps using the terms general and generic together
would fit the bill?
