Hi all,
while browsing the Apache Software Foundation resources I've found this:
http://opensource.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/display/BOOKS/Home
It is an attempt to setup an online bookstore for books about Apache
projects: it is implemented as a Confluence site the actual purchase is
done thru an external link to online retailers. (ASF gets a commission
from the retailers over the books sold with this channel).
Wouldn't be nice to setup a full featured online bookstore with OFBiz
for the ASF?
It would help promote/improve OFBiz within the ASF and it would be
beneficial to the ASF business too.
What do you think?
*I* think it's an interesting idea indeed, something that I might even
be able to help out with just a bit. I've CC'ed the public relations
group at Apache, which is in some way related to the fundraising
efforts, and is also followed by some people who know a thing or two
about what this might mean in terms of the ASF's non-profit status in
the US.
Of course, if it's not ok to do as part of the ASF, it could always be
a side project hosted somewhere else.
