Its true. Gracious Style is definitely one of the shining lights of OFBiz implementations. I just like to harass Si because I know he can take it.

You can count us in on that action. One of my New Year's resolutions is to migrate Brainfood's customer interactions to (as much as possible) automated systems based on OFBiz. I'm DONE with producing progress reports and other communication tools by hand using Open Office. At least, Open Office controlled by my fingers anyway. > So, the Brainfood site is running on OFBiz?

Another New Years resolution is to get that Wiki functionality packaged into a form that is readily consumable by the community and get the source out on webslinger.org. Stay tuned for that... we're trying to get it into a presentable form. Humane URLs is one of our focuses. As much as possible we want to get URLs into a form that one human can say them to another human over a bad cell phone connection and retain link integrity. > If you want to add your site to the list of public facing OFBiz- > running sites it's now on an open page in Confluence (you just have > to have an account to edit): > > http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/ZQM > > Also, we've recently move the service provider listings to Confluence > too, so you might want to update your listing here: > > http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/JAM Which raises the interesting spectre of Confluence/JIRA itself. Wouldn't it be productive if there was an Open Source product like JIRA that tracked your activities and man-hours and made it dirt easy to associate them with work orders and invoices. Wouldn't it be even better if that tool let you link together with other shops using the same tool to form virtual organizations with consolidated activity tracking and billing? Such organizations would be capable of attacking large scale implementation activities. Wouldn't that be interesting and fun? -- Ean Schuessler, CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] 214-720-0700 x 315 Brainfood, Inc. http://www.brainfood.com
