Hi Jacques/List , Further, for mini/micro applications that absorb relatively less update information from teams on move (say e.g. opportunity status update from front-line sales team, status update from delivery courier fleet etc) it makes sense to use bootstrap/equivalent .
But i feel such application development can mostly by done by teams implementing ofbiz in organisations rather than being a part of ofbiz itself as Ofbiz already provides excellent framework for interfacing. regds mallah.
