Hans, I'm new to ofbiz; also to the tools and components that it comprises having come from a Windows .NET C# background.
I'm interested in your comment about it being a pity that only ftl is used. Can you expand a bit on that? What are the shortcomings of ftl? What alternative(s) would you recommend and why? The whole area of UI, especially simplified and deployed as an end-user package will feature heavily in a project due to kick off in January. Thanks, Gareth. -----Original Message----- From: Hans Bakker [mailto:mailingl...@antwebsystems.com] Sent: 02 December 2011 06:45 To: dev@ofbiz.apache.org Cc: Len Shein Subject: Re: Extending OFBiz: The BigFish eCommerce Project I think this is pretty interesting, it is an implementation of a 'simple' OFBiz component all in a single webapp....a pity that only ftl is used, but still...... A demo version would be helpfull. what is the license of this contribution, is it a contribution?
