My opinion is strong, I think it should be removed. Things I don't like: - as far as I can tell there has been no activity on the site, even though it has been almost 3 weeks since you first mentioned it - you've received no positive comments from any other committers as far as I am aware - the lack of activity on the site could appear to first time visitors to be a lack of activity on OFBiz - I do not like _anyone_ modifying the home page without first discussing it, that page is very important to the project
Like I said, the most appropriate thing to do would be to get plenty of community activity around it and then discuss the possibility of making it an official resource. No one here has the ability to unilaterally define to what is an official OFBiz resource without the consensus of the community as I'm sure recent events have proven.
