Hi Hans, The reason to contribute it to OFBiz is because we think it would be a good new feature for OFBiz. You are right, the recommendation is done by the Strands Recommender (commercial) but you are free to use this addon.

workeffort data modeling questions
Hi Forum, I have a requirement to represent some legal concepts in ofbiz. We are still clarifying the business data model, but roughly, we have a (court) hearing which consists of: - reading time - hearing duration - judgement time The hearing such as Smith vs. Jones will have a judge (i.e. party) associated it. The hearing duration will have a facility (court room) associated with it. The hearing duration may have audio/visual resources equipment (assets) associated with it. A hearing is associated with one case. I was thinking of extending WorkEffort to add the case id, then have a Work Effort to represent the Hearing and children WorkEffort's to represent the Reading Time, Hearing Duration and Judgement Time? Does this use of WorkEffort make sense in ofbiz? Many thanks in advance, Chris

There are a couple that are very knowledgeable about this. here is what I know. in the demo data that loads you can use that as a model to make you own GL. the ledgers you call out are functional another way and are not called by those names.
