I think the word "dangerous" is slightly inflammatory.
In what way? Could you be more specific?
It's not like someone just slipped this in. It's been in OFBiz ever since I knew
of the project... at least over a year. I think of "dangerous precedent" in
windows of shorter time spans.
What we need is a well organized, highly visible place for things that
attach to the project that live in the hot-deploy directory. We should
be encouraging an ecosystem of plugable add-ins be they true-open,
viral-open, or closed-commercial variety.
For projects/products based on OFBiz:

What's missing is content in the description of what features. I just noticed
those pages were posted in the last day, so that's an unfair criticism.
Also we're not using any sort of normal jargon like "Add-ons", "Plug-ins",
"Enhancements", "Extensions" or whatever to help grow and support these efforts.
This is certainly something that can be improved.
What did you have in mind that is different from this?
May be a link that says "ofBiz Add-ons"?
What hurts us is that we loose consistent branding from the main site to the
wiki, and the wiki's logo puts you in "geek h-e-double toothpicks". I can hardly
imagine what the Michael J. Scott's of the world think when they land on that
dashboard page.
