We are a small distribution-type business (less than 10 employees) and
were hoping for something that would "just work" OOTB for our situation.
Everything in Neogia seemed set up for EU and VAT, rather than
US-oriented, which was to be expected. Maybe it would have been simple
to change, but it wasn't all that clear to me.
OFBiz or Neogia aren't easier to use for small business.
And although as I said Neogia seemed "better-behaved" with respect to
the OFBiz code base, it still was not entirely clear to me where it
diverged and why, and it seemed likely that all the documentation for
that was mostly in French. Having already spent too much time trying to
analyze the Opentaps fork, I was perhaps too fearful of Neogia, and I
elected for "straight" OFBiz, for the reasons cited previously.
If you can clarify any of these issues for my own mind, and if Neogia
would offer more ease of configuration or use than the OFBiz trunk,
while keeping us close to the OFBiz development path, I might still have
some interest in Neogia.
The development model used for Neogia, when it was like opentaps, has been
stopped with the 1.4 release. Now, it's directly based on OFBiz trunk, and
the goal is adding functionnalities, component, or anything else via addons.
One of the goal is having addons for each market type, and for localization.
If you want to have a more OFBiz profession oriented version (data, screens,
services, small modifications of the standard code, etc...), you can use the
addonmanager.
One of the point you have to take care is to separate correctly your
modifications. Some of the addons can be given back to OFBiz and one of the
good pratices is to make an addon for each "commitable" feature. This helps
a lot for tracking bugs between improvements and jira.
After, you know that I'm french, so I can help you to create a business
addon on technical point but not on functionnal ;)

Merci d'avance. :)
