It seems comprehensive enough, but it's difficult to get a sense of what is actually *there*. I finally found their product tour. looks hard to use. I'm currently looking for something solid in this space, so I'll probably build this at some point to have a look, but first impression of this didn't leave me a warm fuzzy. > Any thoughts on Sourceforge in general?

So ... got Oracle? I heard a complaint from somewhere that compiere have been working on database independence for a LONG time but do not seem to be getting closer to that goal. Hearsay, FWIW.

Compiere is writen mostly using Oracle plsql, stored procedures, trigrers and all that. I heard a port to PostgreSQL was underway, but have heard nothing about that effort for quite a while. Probably just too hard, esp. as Compiere is proving to be a very fast moving target. If you *do* have Oracle it may be worth a try. It seems to be an ERP/CRM solution that many SMBs are getting good use from.

To be honest, I've never thought it was hard to navigate, or that they had too much advertising. I will admit to being frustrated by the poor performance of their anonymous CVS servers and the fact that promised upgrades have never arrived. As someone that's used sourceforge for a few projects though, the logged-in-developer experience is better than the anonymous one.
