Hi James, I did write a wiki page to define how the framework only distribution should be shaped. Following that there was some mail thread in which we discussed about. Some of us was not on the same page but we did not agree on something different that could be written updating the wiki page.
You can find the wiki page here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Framework-only+distribution Fill free to express your opinion and help on that. A contribute that will gine IMO a great help on framework independence is also: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3373 Scott is working on that and I am looking forward to it. -Bruno 2010/9/17 james_sg <[email protected]> > > I think a common agreement is needed among developers on whether OFBiz > should > have a standalone framework. > > If a common agreement is reached, then we need to have a common > understanding on how things should be done, so that people plays by the > rule. > > Which function to move into the standalone framework can be discussed > later. > The one with the least dependence can go in first.
