a lot of effort from the community. I personally would like a clearer
separtion between the Framework, Core modules and Add-ons but that is a
different discussion.
The specialpurpose folder is intended to be used for industry-specific or
role-based applications. Apache OFBiz encourages that type of development,
and Apache OFBiz does, indeed, benefit from it.
So far no industry-specific solution made it to the special purpose folder
(perhaps maybe e-commerce), has no one buillt a solution on top of Ofbiz
before? And if everybody would contribute their specific solutions will
Ofbiz then not end up being all but nothing?
Well, maybe you could help make real estate management one of the first
industry-specific solutions to be included with OFBiz.
If Apache OFBiz included several industry-specific applications, those
applications would demonstrate the abilities of OFBiz. What better way
to show off the platform than to have different applications built from it?
