If there are any developers interested in working on a CRM system, we're
looking for more help here at Open Source Strategies. We have both
full-time openings and part-time paid opportunities, and you can work
from home and set your own hours. You'll have a chance to work with us
on a combination of client projects, our open source products, and just
cool stuff you're interested in.
We're especially looking for developers with strong familiarity with the
following areas (though not necessarily just these):
1. Front end development and Ajax
2. Integration with external devices, such as mobile phones, handheld
devices, etc.
3. Analytics and reporting
If you're interested, please drop me a note off the list.

David,
Like I said, I am a user plain and simple so I can’t get into all of the
technical side of things. All I know is that I would like a CRM portion of
ofbiz similar to how Sugar CRM works but with a good and solid email client
built in. I guess it would take someone with the interest and technical
ability to put the requirements together first.
That said, I can only contribute with my wants and needs and some cash. I'd
be willing to throw $1000 into the hat to get this type of functionality.
Where do I go from here?

I have some help from some service providers setting up the system

already started to work on the gui which includes Ajax for easier
use. There
are also many other options I'd like to have for my business and that
hopefully I could give back to the ofbiz community too.
Do you guys have any kind of bounty system or a wish list where
likeminded
people could collaborate and get things done at a quicker pace?
For example, I'd like to see a good CRM in the core of ofbiz with
something
like zimbra being used for the calendaring and email. If this were
even
feasible and there were likeminded people who would be interested,
then we
could pool our resources and time, etc.
Any suggestions?
We don't have a bounty and bid system setup right now, but hopefully
soon or at some point some commercial entity in the OFBiz community
will do just that. It is something we have talked about, and even
using OFBiz to manage it, since about year 2 of the project and I
think it would be a really great thing for the project, and for
everyone who participates in both funding and developing different
things.
Right now the best thing to do is send a message to this list or the
dev list to see if anyone is interested in collaborating on this and
has enough of a business requirement for it to at least help to fund
involvement on their side.
My guess for something this specific and yet large in scope (ie in
terms of the amount of work required, probably a few weeks worth) no
one will be able to participate for the "fun of it".
Who knows.... maybe someone will step up and agree with you on how
cool it would be and start banging on it with you.
