I speak not as a voting member of ofbiz but one that has some 50 apps built on ofbiz.
What is your definition of app? An install of an application? In that case, we have 50+ server based installs.
However, we only have a few actual custom applications. We just install those over and over.
Our applications are easy to reuse; we have a cow/overlay feature.
I doubt if I had know of the way improvements have been implemented and the work that it would take to upgrade all 50 apps I would have chose ofbiz. In short if you ever expect to have ofbiz be a main stay app for developers you need to be considerate of the time and effort they have expended to customize and how your "improvements" effect those efforts. I did not get into ofbiz to support developers upgrading my customization because someone thought their way was best before discussing it in the light of production system. I got into ofbiz because of the framework basically and a Idea that what I did would work for along time. At this point I have some serious thinking to do about the future of ofbiz in my efforts. ========================= BJ Freeman Strategic Power Office with Supplier Automation <http://www.businessesnetwork.com/automation/viewforum.php?f=52> Specialtymarket.com <http://www.specialtymarket.com/> Systems Integrator-- Glad to Assist Chat Y! messenger: bjfr33man
