Hi,
I think it will be good to have a spot on Ofbiz site that acts as
catalog of application available for deployment on ofbiz. There
are various custom applications that people write that can be
shared (they will like to) with community. Sometime for people
don't do it because they can't figure out how and other times they
wonder how community will react to it (I am one of those). I
understand that we cannot keep adding custom stuff to ofbiz trunk.
At the same time I have strong feeling that Generic applications
find less users because they are hard to use.
I don't think anyone is against having "custom" applications in
OFBiz, in fact that's what the specialpurpose set of applications
is all about (unless I misunderstand what you mean by "custom").
If you're referring to comments earlier today about the IS asset
manager application, I think those were just suggestions to improve
what you're working on (and perhaps to head off what will probably
happen in the future, ie natural consolidation and reorganization
of apps after more design and review and such is done).
Most of other open source CRM/ERP have a market place/ catalog
where people post their own little applications. I think we should
do something on those lines. This can be easily achieved by
creating a page on Confluence and have people list their app on
it. In the summary there can be a link to another page that has
details of that application and custom component can be attached
to this page.
Do you some examples of these sharing/marketplace type things? We
may have to adapt ideas to work better in a community-driven
setting, but they might be nice to look at for ideas.
