Hi Pierre,

Let me first say hat we appreciate your efforts in this area but
remember it is all voluntary unpaid work and does not have the top
priority. Luckily David already answered a lot of your questions, saves
me a lot of time :-) 

Yes i have someone from my Antwebsystems team working on it. My plans
are as follows of which point 1 should be finished in the next few
weeks, the other points I do not have yet allocated manpower to. We will
also commit your patches pretty soon.

1. leads/contacts/accounts (working on this one)
We will rewrite the search/list functions and reusing as much as
possible within these 3 functions implementing the all/my
leads/contacts/accounts principle. Either all accounts in the system or
all accounts assigned to me(logged in user). We will use the forms and
the performfind service which is now standard practice in the ofbiz
system
We keep the current file organization and format which is shown in the
sfa demo data.

2. Add a screenlet to the overview to show to whom the
lead/contact/account is assigned.

3. Events and calendar (add the existing portlet)

4. Create/assign/track activity/task related to an
opportunity/lead/contact/account

5. Implementation of sales teams: open for discussion and probably need
a customer assignment for this.

to be continued......

regards,
Hans
