Yes, OFBiz community is still alive, and I should say damn well alive :o)

OFBiz doesn't face Roller's problem mentioned here:
http://rollerweblogger.org/project/entry/roller_needs_you
There're many activities in trunk everyday (including
weekends/holidays). As an OFBiz user, I don't think there will be a
10.04 as the change is not big enough.

Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty familiar with open source and asf
models, but not ofbiz. Anyone care to elaborate on the "current state
of the branch" w.r.t code readiness? Is tagging 10.04 stable more a
matter of code dev or asf hoops? The 5.0 release of Roller, for
example, is 99.9% the latter.
Thanks-- Ken
