Yes, I agree and I have started gathering requirements in process form here:

http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBREQDES/Story+of+Apache+Open+Source+Project

As a warning/disclaimer: this is FAR from complete and just some stuff I threw together in a few minutes about a month ago.

As with other UBPL related things this is meant to follow the HEMP process:

Wasn't that thread just a general discussion?

Yes, were everyone was pushing his own solution, Tim suggested OFBiz of course. In his last message Ted Husted spoke about requirements and creating a Wiki page for summarizing the situation. One mandatory requirement is to have something like the autoexport Confluence plugin.

I know there was some sentiment requesting support from others at the ASF for the idea of using OFBiz as the solution. I don't think that approach is going to get us very far. In a meritocracy we need to present a solution that is ready to go, start using it ourselves, and then introduce it to the rest of the ASF.

That is when the option will be taken seriously and is more likely to be adopted.

I totally agree and I know it's not an easy task. Like you suggested for the business part, I think we should set our own requirements before doing anything and maybe ask for ASF's requirements too.
Then we could begin to design something, what do you think ?

Hans was referring to something about infra too, but I'm not sure what exactly.
What I'm not aware of is:
1. what specific objective are being worked on?
2. are there any issues that we need to bring to the attention of the board?

I keep raising up the issue of using OFBiz for Apache Infrastructure and we've had interesting conversations over there. Might be good to add it in there for it being documented ....

Shouldn't we say anything about using the Apache infrastructure and

the
usage of OFBiz in the apache environment as was discussed in the

Subject: ASF Board Report for 2009-06


I just found out a bit ago that the ASF board meeting is this
week,
and not next week as previous announcements had said. That means

that
the board report is now basically late!

I have thrown a quick one together, and it is available here:

http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBADMIN/ASF+Board+Report +2009-06

I plan to submit the report later today. I apologize for the
short
notice (I thought we had another week for this), but feedback and
additions are certainly welcome in the next couple/few hours.
