David, This is for ONLY if you have time.
Time? Me? That would be awesome.
Article aside, can you quickly give your opinions of OFBiz in terms of the following factors as per http://www.informationweek.com/ shared/printableArticle.jhtml?articleID=197002953 ?The factors are: - A thriving community - Disputive goals - A benevolant dictor - Transparency - Civility - Documentation - Employed developers - A clear license - Commercial supportPlease read that article's definition of those factors. Some factors could be misnamed, like "A benevolent dictator" doesn't quite refer to a kind and generous leader but more like a proactive, wise, firm and creative one.Just a quick rating will do. But any elaborations on your ratings will be nice too.
How I'd rather see this go is that others voice their opinions on these topics. I think this is a case where an outsiders view may be more interesting than an "insider's" guess at these factors.
In general, no, I don't think Apache OFBiz is perfect on all of these fronts. Chances are no open source project is, unless you're talking to someone in the marketing department... ;)
