I mean forks in the tradition of the Linux kernel. GIT was designed around a development model where there are many paths of simultaneous development going on, each with their own version history. None of those repositories are, functionally, a "master" repository. They are all peers and the role of Linus' repository is strictly a matter of convention and reputation. I think following a similar model would be beneficial for OFBiz. There are a lot of reasons to constrain the number of primary committers and most serious users are going to need to maintain their own private "fork". At this point I mostly regard the Apache repository as the Hotwax version of OFBiz. The other major version at this point being the Open Source Strategies OpenTaps repository. We started out using SVK here in order to create our own local revision history but still find that tool limiting. GIT and Mercurial are the leaders for that style of development and GIT would seem to have the most intensive community around it. -- Ean Schuessler, CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] 214-720-0700 x 315 Brainfood, Inc. http://www.brainfood.com
