I totally agree with this POV and believe that we must clear from everywhere old, false and deprecated informations. But this cost time (or money if you want) and I look forward to any efforts in in this direction. However I will create a Jira issue to point some places where such old, false and deprecated informations may be found. For a beginning I will use yours ;o) http://ofbizwiki.go-integral.com/Wiki.jsp?page=OnlineUserManual http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Application+Reference+for+Users and / or http://incubator.apache.org/ofbiz/docs/GettingAndUsingOFBiz.pdf http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/OFBiz+Basic+Production+Setup+Guide I do not comment more the other (very interesting) part of this mail (and sequels) because I'm not a PMC member. But if I was one I think my 1st reflex should be to think about how to organize such a work... and I'm absolutly confident on PMC members for this :o) Thanks Jacques
