THAT is what I've been pushing for too! Anyway, I'm also happy that the OFBiz community is focusing more time on improving/debugging OFBiz (and neglecting docs aspect).

But your suggestion won't even see light of day, at least not until someone DOES do a proper comprehensive doc of OFBiz (ERP aspect, not framework). As it is now, I often ask questions about OFBiz-ERP that even veterans don't know how to answer offhand (what with 600,000++ lines of codes and 700+ database tables!).

There is a lot of work to be done here, and lot left to do, but it _has_ already been started and there is a pretty good bit of information that mostly needs to be restructured but of course could also use some editing and fleshing out. Check out these links:

http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/Bw
http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/Y
http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/5gI

Once there are more fleshed out and structured it will be easy to add links to them in the applications.
