@xurror Thanks for providing a version of the PR that is Apache-compliant to enable distributions to run on top of Fineract that can run Pentaho. @awasum Thanks for explaining the situation and context to @francisguchie. I just wanted to clarify on one bit of terminology that you had used around "hard fork" as it usually has a pretty negative connotation and consists of a downstream solution that is divergently forked from the upstream and not in-line with the vision of the upstream codebase. As you noted in the rest of your comment, the Mifos Initiatives maintains an open source distribution, Mifos X, on top of the upstream release that provides a full solution on top of the Fineract release containing a UI (AngularJS community-app) and reporting (Pentaho). For now, the Mifos Initiative will continue to maintain support for Pentaho via Mifos X but welcomes community contributions on an Apache Fineract compliant reporting solution. My suggestion would also be to identify a tool that is Apache-compliant, and works well within the the Fineract-CN architecture and addresses those needs so any investment in development effort for a new reporting tool could be shared across both Fineract and Fineract CN. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
