Anil, I did something similar for Visual Themes here: http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Visual+Themes+Gallery
of course a complete dedicated portal like http://www.sugarexchange.com/would be much better but, to start, a Confluence page should be enough. If the OFBiz release management will be done it will be much simpler doing the plug-in stuff. -Bruno 2008/11/25 Adrian Crum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > --- On Mon, 11/24/08, Anil Patel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I think it will be good to have a spot on Ofbiz site that > > acts as catalog of application available for deployment on > > ofbiz.
