Hi Jacques,
See my comment that i put in the JIRA on 22/Oct/09 07:28 AM.
Leaving out the payment segment is *not* in the patch... So you don't have
to worry about that.
Yes, now that Tim has expressed that he and his team are not worried, I can't
see any obstacles.
But you are right. Reviewing patches is always good.
If people are reviewing it, that's ok. And I expect to hear/read from them
soon with their comments/plan of action.
Hans has already explained he will. I hope to do some also, but for the moment
I work on another major subject...
However, we both (and others) agree that the SFA module needs more than some
love to become a best in class solution. We have a ancient document that
outlines in a high level where the application should go. But are the stated
requirements still valid? And are these then complete? And... Requirements
are not a devleopment roadmap. Meaning that they are the input for a road to
go. Functional design/technical design detail that more. That why JIRA items
are created, I guess.
Yes, right. I can't tell much about the requirements and how and far they have
been used since did not either wrote them nor worked
on the implementation.
I can submit my insights and deliver patches. My insights are yust one point
of view and may be disregarded by project members. I am happy with that. It
are just opinions.
But when I submit patches to improve OfBIZ for the greater good of OfBiz I
expect something to be done with them in a timely fashion. If not handled
that way I could easily refrain from helping and go about my way....
We have all constraints, please be patient. OBFiz was not build in a day (and
not even a week, not even a month, not ev..., ok I'm
sure you got it ;o)
If there are constraints regarding time available from people involved in
handling submitted patches I would suggest get more involvement on that
level.
Please consider, for instance, the work I did for free this month for the
community. It's only an example since each active members
of the community has done at least as much in a month, and some for years now...
Then you will understand that some Jira issues have to wait. Especially because
it's easier to commit a small fix here and there
than to dive in a bigger work when you have also to earn a living...
This said, sure, like everybody, I'd appreciate also more commitment from other
commiters, who would not want that ?
BTW, if you are really interested to help at long term, I'm sure we are all
happy to welcome you as a commiter in the future...
Thanks for your interest in OFBiz
Regards
Jacques
PS : I'm so sorry that David mislay his wand :/

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-3066:
----------------------------------------
Certainly, but at short term on my side it mostly depends on prospect
answer...
And I'd far prefer to have (even a fast) review by the person or group who
did the 1st implementation than have to revert it because they don't agree
(I think mostly about the payment method thing, but there are maybe others)
