Henning, I have read all the emails under this topic. I think you've made a clear business plan. OFBiz can be the core engine of your service business longtime. From several people to over 10 thousand staff, the business model is unchanged for service.
I'm writing a Learning Curve component which not only calculate the workefforts you have done, but also have the ability to forecast an effort you'll take for a new job. I think it can help you more powerful than those macro players :). The forecast function is based on the following theroies: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_curve http://cost.jsc.nasa.gov/learn.html http://fast.faa.gov/pricing/98-30c18.htm Mathmatically, I'll use Linear regression to calculate the forecast: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_regression I hope I can find some time to complete this component before Chinese new year and give it as a new year gift to OFBiz community.
