Some years ago we engaged in a discussion about rewriting the OFBiz
framework:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ofbiz-dev/201203.mbox/%3c4f4f51da.50...@sandglass-software.com%3E
Then a suggestion was made to base OFBiz on the Moqui framework:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ofbiz-dev/201203.mbox/%3c4f617965.4010...@me.com%3E
Since those discussions, progress has been made in rewriting bits and
pieces of the framework, but no one has tackled replacing the framework
entirely. I am ready to begin that effort.
My preference would be to create a branch and start building things out
there - with the help of others. The goal would be to start over from
scratch - using sound design principles and the lessons learned from the
current code.
If there is support for this effort, then I can begin working on it in
February. If not, then I will most likely start a separate project -
similar to the approach taken by Moqui.
I created a design document:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/Another+Framework+Vision
It is in the draft stage. Comments and suggestions are welcome.
