Ruth, are you a committer to OFBiz? On any open source projects anywhere? Nobody has an obligation to serve you or your needs. To say this kind of thing once might be construed constructively where people are interested in self-improvement, but this is going too far. I don't know anything about the PMC, but *you* should find a support company to give your money to and let them advocate in your interests. Most people do not get so angry about stuff like this unless they are losing money. If you are losing money because of these (and possibly other) changes, then that lost money could have been better spent on a committer who will watch out for your interests and make sure things run smoothly. Everyone wins in that case. If you are not losing money by these changes, it completely escapes me why you care. One cannot both want new features, then make personal attacks when they are not exactly what someone wants. Unless, again, they are paying for support to have them developed. It sounds to me like you saw a shiny new version, didn't test it before deploying, wiped out the previous deployment in the process, then had users complaining that something had changed... something you should have caught before deploying it in the first place. As for my position, I'm just an outside observer with some common interests to everyone here. One of my interests is that these guys don't get pissed off and quit developing it at all. No more, no less. Brian
