Thanks for the reply! I'm picturing how the demo data can be built out so that new users can have a better idea of how components and processes interact.
Take the existing Demo Customer for example. Why can't that person have a name? In addition to any existing data, I could have them post forum messages about items they purchased. Demo employees in the HR component could have demo data all over the place - member of a project team in the project manager, moderator of in-house forums, foreman of a manufacturing production run, etc. Maybe this is a lofty goal, but I think it would be helpful to have demo data that really looks like a deployed OFBiz instance. -Adrian --- David E Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Better, and more business oriented, demo data for > the content stuff > would be really great. > > Disclaimers are good, but another practice we've > been using is > "ridicularity", if you take my meaning.
