Except in the edge case, I don't see how many people who are at the
level of being able to install and operate SugarCRM could do the same
thing with OFBiz. And moving it up a level, compare installing a demo
version of OFBiz with downloading and installing the Microsoft Dynamics
GP 10 demo. Or staying closer to open source, installing postBooks
(http://www.xtuple.com/postbooks).
My point is that if it's an OOTB solution as the goal or even a forked
goal of the community, then last March when the 4.0 release was created,
some effort should have gone into consistent user interfaces,
installation wizards, documentation, manuals. The communty voted with
its keyboards to instead add hundreds of new features to the trunk
instead. Given that the number of bug fixes that have gone into the 4.0
release can be measured by a human hand testifies that the community is
addicted to features. NOT THAT IT'S A BAD THING :)
Me, I've always thought it should be as easy to install OFBiz as any top
line .php application that asks a few (or as many as is needed)
questions, confirms and configures itself, and is ready to operate
within minutes, and the configurator be re-entrant to allow
configuration changes in the future and also suggest settings for
certain conditions.
