BTW, as OFBiz has been TLP of Apache, could you start to select some sub

to grow, do you?

I think it's time to plant some seeds in OFBiz garden and encourage them

- ofbiz/framework (along with ofbiz/runtime)
- ofbiz/applications
- each directory under: ofbiz/specialpurpose

We have discussed creating separate projects for these sorts of things, but we just don't have enough management bandwidth with the current volunteers to handle the overhead of creating all of these different projects with different infrastructure and such. Sooner or later we'll definitely get there and probably even split out the framework and applications as separate projects. Actually right now we have the directory tree structured to prepare for this, and there would be a sub-project for each of the following: Right now we are maintaining strict one-way dependencies between these. In other words the framework can run without applications, and the framework and applications are totally independent of any of the specialpurpose applications.
