The reason is simple: nobody takes the role of project manager in
OFBiz.
When Redhat aquired JBoss, I found almost every project had a new
project manager who really helped the projects released more and more
predictable.
At the beginning as TLP, Jacopo Cappellato looked like preparing the
release version. And when he joined HotwaxMedia, he's missing I guess.
Someone in the PMC should stand out. Jacques Le Roux or Scott Gray?
PMC, programmers meeting committee? If so, it's a quite pitty for an
ERP
platform. :)

OFBiz is not commercial software with paid developers. JBoss may be
available under an open source license, but it is developed under a
commercial model, not a community-driven model like OFBiz.
In the case of a community-driven software project, what would a
project manager do? Who would he/she boss around? Who would be
accountable for delivery and how would that accountability be enforced?
