David (Jones),

What about those open source projects that are polished for OOTB convenience and experience? Even Apache (httpd) and Tomcat (both under Apache Licence 2.0?) have better OOTB "operational readiness" than OFBiz. Ie, they work well OOTB and they have very good and widely published docs to further fuel explosive rate of community development. (I understand you believe that approach won't benefit OFBiz; I don't know so I can't say.)

Yeah, I guess I like Jacopo's point that it would be better to quite me than speak for me. In this I don't believe I even said/wrote anything like that.

Having a large OOTB end-user community would certainly benefit the project, in really major ways too. The problem is that the current contributing community does not have sufficient resources to create and maintain what would be needed to satisfy this sort of user. Hopefully that will change in the future. In the mean time, the project is self-sustaining and growing based on use by non-OOTB users and contributors (or those that are OOTB users, but just extremely patient... ;) ).
