OFBiz competing interests

[Ruth Hoffman]

Hi All:
As I sit back here and read the many an various opinions about the 
current state and future of OFBiz, I have to say I really appreciate 
everyone taking the time to voice an opinion. Maybe David will take this 
to heart and factor all this into his OFBiz lite project.

Concerning competing interests, I didn't intend that comment in a "mean" 
way. I think it is good that there is so much interest in OFBiz. 
Naturally with a project as multi-faceted as this, there will be various 
special interests that evolve. I think that is a good thing. Perhaps a 
better way to say this is that I would like to see, and I think several 
others on the list have expressed a special interest in, taking the 
OFBiz framework (and what exactly is included in the framework should be 
discussed) and making it a separate "something" - so that it can get all 
the care and attention it deserves.

I don't know what that "something" is. Someone with more experience 
working in this type of development environment could help with that 
definition. A goal similar to the Eclipse plug and play model sounds 
really attractive to me. How to get there? I don't know.

Regards,
Ruth
