Re: Summary of ApacheCon-Eu conference Why ofbiz-extra
The mains important point are : - This is one way to facilitate Contribution to OFBiz *AND* Quality enhancement - Share contribution, even if it's not for all ofbiz user, even if it not follow all current bests practices, can help - We need to have a clear definition of what are the Quality criteria fro Apache-OFBiz - We need to have a clear process for contribution evaluation and status and life process The main comment done by the attendees : - It's very important to have a addon repository in Apache-OFBiz The next steps should be : - to write 1,2 or 3 wiki pages for OFBiz choices (writing in a consensus way); - to give visibility on new help integration - to give visibility on functional (or user-interface) test solution adopt by OFBiz - to start a process on addon manager evaluation - to start to give visibility to ofbiz-extra Le 27/11/2012 11:28, olivier Heintz a écrit : ApacheCon-Eu presentation is now available, http://archive.apachecon.com/eu2012/presentations/07-Wednesday/PR-Community/aceu-2012-ofbizextra-addons_what-constrains-for-each-repository.pdf I propose below a short summary (only the main points) to be able to start community discussion.

Rules and Constraints by Repository === - 3 repository From what I already learned (very few) from addons, these must be svn repos. It would not be at the ASF because of possible license issues, so where will they be? How reliable will they be or should they be? etc. Also we could have an entry in the ASF repo, under https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz if the addons are ASL2 licensed. But this would NOT mean, except if we agree otherwise, that the addons there are reviewed guaranteed by the OFBiz team. Anyway from an official POV *only released products are official*. I mean those here http://ofbiz.apache.org/download.html - ofbiz-extra-addons-dev * This project is open for all contributors who want to create or maintain apache-ofbiz addons. * This project has no quality or best practice control, each contributor should try to do the best he can. * When a user uses an existing addon in this repository, he should assume risks, but but in many cases it will help him. +1 - ofbiz-extra-addons-incubator * This project is open for all Apache-OFBiz addons that should become : + part of ofbiz addons labeled Quality repository (ofbizextra-addons), + or part of Apache ofbiz project. * Addons of this project are in a Quality, Best Practice evaluation and enhancement. * There is, at least, one organization / person that is involved to solve bugs or to offer support services for this addon.

Re: Summary of ApacheCon-Eu conference Why ofbiz-extra
With all of these constraints, what would be the point of using extras projects? Please consider that these QA, documentation, etc constraints even exist and are not enforced for OFBiz itself... and are clearly not considered a priority by very many or we'd see more people (committers and non-committer contributors) working on it. -David On Nov 28, 2012, at 6:02 AM, olivier Heintz olivier.hei...@neogia.org wrote: The mains important point are : - This is one way to facilitate Contribution to OFBiz *AND* Quality enhancement - Share contribution, even if it's not for all ofbiz user, even if it not follow all current bests practices, can help - We need to have a clear definition of what are the Quality criteria fro Apache-OFBiz - We need to have a clear process for contribution evaluation and status and life process The main comment done by the attendees : - It's very important to have a addon repository in Apache-OFBiz The next steps should be : - to write 1,2 or 3 wiki pages for OFBiz choices (writing in a consensus way); - to give visibility on new help integration - to give visibility on functional (or user-interface) test solution adopt by OFBiz - to start a process on addon manager evaluation - to start to give visibility to ofbiz-extra Le 27/11/2012 11:28, olivier Heintz a écrit : ApacheCon-Eu presentation is now available, http://archive.apachecon.com/eu2012/presentations/07-Wednesday/PR-Community/aceu-2012-ofbizextra-addons_what-constrains-for-each-repository.pdf I propose below a short summary (only the main points) to be able to start community discussion.
