hi Adrian,
I am not that keen on tech. However, it is obvious that the framework needs
to be improved. What I expect from the further improvement of ofbiz
framework are:
1) less dependency
2) less "re-invent the wheel", like scheduler, cache, CMS, etc
I can see Moqui do much better at this point. (But that doesn't mean we
have to use Moqui to replace ofbiz framework.) As a manager, I always heard
from my developers: what's the value to go so deep into ofbiz...but have no
chance to use other common libraries. Furthermore, they don't think ofbiz is
better than other existed libraries, like quarz, ehcache, Jackrabbit. So I
really like Moqui's ecosystem...
3) distributed community
Contributors have different interests and experience. But now ofbiz
components depend on each other in a tight and sometime unreasonable
way(Maybe things are not supposed to be like what they are now).
I am not saying it is good or bad to replace ofbiz framework with Moqui. But
I really look forward to seeing the good ideas from Moqui in Ofbiz.
