Hi Everyone Thanks very much for your feedback.
At this stage they are collecting project ideas for Gsoc so any tasks that we would like students to work on needs to be added to the Community Development (COMDEV) JIRA. (See link below) https://s.apache.org/XcBe You will also be able to see the GsoC ideas created by other ASF projects. If you want to include any OFBiz tasks for GsoC this year then please create an entry for each task with OFBiz in the task title (so it can be easily identified) and using the component label GsoC/Mentoring, then describe what we would like the student to do. So remember this needs to be created in the Community Development Jira not our OFBiz Jira :-) Thanks Sharan On 2018/01/26 10:01:57, Shi Jinghai <huaru...@hotmail.com> wrote: > Hi Sharan, > > Thanks for this topic. > > After reading your email, I released a new OFBiz-NER plugin in Github: > https://github.com/YYWorks/OFBiz-NER/ > > The first version of this plugin is built by Menghan Sun in July, 2016, a > summer practice, in one month.
