List:
Why is it that David is allowed to advertise continuously about his
latest pet project - that has nothing to do with OFBiz - on this mailing
list and others, such as myself can't even mention a resource dedicated
entirely to OFBiz, that many have found useful, (MyOFBiz.com
http://www.myofbiz.com) without risk of severe rebuke?
Of course that was a rhetorical question. I know the answer. But I will
say this: As an outsider, what I see going on here is seriously
wrong...The constant innuendo that there is something amiss with OFBiz
undermines the public's faith in the quality and value proposition of
this project. Despite all the differences of all the OFBiz community
members, OFBiz still remains the best open source - possibly any source
- ERP around. Lets not forget that.
Although I have no authority to request this I'm asking that David
please stop using this list as his "dumping" ground. David, if you do
not have positive OFBiz commentary, please don't post.
BTW, anyone wanting to help me make MyOFBiz.com a better resource for
the OFBiz community, please feel free to contact me at
ruth.hoff...@myofbiz.com
Regards,
Ruth

In fact, we have a garden now... it's just looking for gardeners.
Moqui Framework 1.0 is feature-complete and in beta. The Mantle data model
(UDM) is in an initially complete state (except for seed data which I'm still
working on), and is at a point where feedback is the most important next step
(with various improvements to it already planned as well).
In any case, framework add-ons and applications are welcome, and I've even
solicited creation of such things in order to help test the framework and give
people opportunities to experience the framework and give feedback.
If you create something great, let me know and I'll list it here:

Maybe even Apache OFBiz will be there at some point.

My goal is to split the community to various sub-communities involved in
different projects which make up an ecosystem of projects based on the same
framework and data model, as opposed to a single project for everything. This
will reduce conflict and encourage people to try different ideas with end-users
in the position to choose between them based on what works best for them.
A distributed community, as opposed to a centralized community, would allow many more people to get
involved with much less conflict than our current rather small community. The point is not to
exclude people or get rid of a community, the point is to enable more people to get involved and
move it more towards a "free market" structure as opposed to the current "central
planning" type of structure that OFBiz operates under.
