Wiki no longer open?
Hi, Pierre Smits tried to add a story to https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Apache+OFBiz+User+Stories But was unable to do so (no Modify button) I know that, to prevent spam, the ASF infrastructure team has unabled the wiki users profiles update. Could someone (many would be better) confirms users are unable to get to the previously open wiki? ie: pages under https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/ Thanks Jacques
New hot-deploy application
Dear all, SEPA (Single European Payments Area) is an initative of the European banking industry that will make all electronic payments across the Euro area as easy as domestic electronic payments within one country are now. This initiative encompasses credit card, debit card, bank transfer or direct debit transactions. More information regarding SEPA can be found here: http://ec.europa.eu/internal_market/payments/sepa/ and at websites of the various banks in Europe. We intend to start a project to build a new hot-deploy application that enables/facilitate the processing of (some of the) payment transactions and bank statements as per these SEPA guidelines and regulations of the EU in OFBiz It is our intention to have the application deliver following functionality: - Create, edit, update and expire Banking organisations - Create, edit, update and expire bank accounts for each party - Enable the processing of bank statements and bank statement transactions (both manually and automatically*) - Enable the generation of bulk bank transfers regarding supplier/creditor payments, expense and other payments - Enable the generation of bulk direct debit transactions As we are starting with this project we invite you to participate in requirements gathering and specification (both business and technical) to be able to define a reasonable scoping and planning of a first release. If you are - or do business with customers (OFBiz users) - in the EU market space and have knowledge regarding national or even bank specific requirements and/or definitions and guidelines, please share. Your insights are valuable and we appreciate your input. Should you have any questions and/or remarks regarding this, please let me know.

Re: New hot-deploy application
That is exciting. Am I to understand that that means that there will be a single API for processing all these different kinds of transactions, including credit and debit card transactions in ecommerce? Or are we still stuck with different APIs for different processors? One thing that is intriguing is that that page refers to a grants program. That may create an opportunity to improve fraud prevention and gain financial support for developing and deploying it (I know of one option that will make card absent transactions as safe as card present transactions, for both merchant and consumer, but have yet to find the right person within the banking industry in Canada to make it happen - the caveat is it needs the cooperation of all members of the credit card networks, and getting that cooperation may be a problem). What do you know about their anti-fraud practices/recommendations? Cheers Ted

Re: New hot-deploy application
Hi Ted, Thanks for your reply. I will try to answer your questions as extensive and precise as possible (given that I don't know everything there is to know regarding this subject). First of all, I don't believe it is feasible to come up with a solution that enables all variations possible within a reasonable timeframe. Secondly, in current setup several payment processing solutions are already hard-wired in the accounting component. These payment processing solution are provider specific, and as far as I know SEPA only defines Pan-EU guidelines and regulations. EU nations have their own agendas and therefor each bank in each country can - as influenced by their own legacy system - deviate to some extend from the EU program and national programs. I know for a fact that in The Netherlands the central bank is driving the national program and the larger system banks differ from each other regarding their implementation projects.The only mandatory aspect is the deadline of February 1st, 2014 to have SEPA solutions in place. Having done a short rond of questions with a few Dutch banks I learned that these banks do vary regarding the technical implementation. I assume this is applicable regarding any other EU nation and bank in these nations. That is why I am asking for sharing insights regarding these per-country and bank differences. As I already tried to outline in my initial email I plan to focus on a feasible scope and plan regarding: - IBAN Account definitions (IBAN - see this linkhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Bank_Account_Number) and their association to parties - SEPA Credit transfers (SCT - see this linkhttp://www.europeanpaymentscouncil.eu/content.cfm?page=sepa_credit_transfer) regarding payment of purchase invoices, expenses and other payments related to IBAN- - SEPA Direct Debits (SDD - see this linkhttp://www.europeanpaymentscouncil.eu/content.cfm?page=sepa_direct_debit_(sdd)) regarding payment of sales invoices related to IBAN As for your remarks and question regarding the anti-fraud practices and/or recommendations I don't have any insights to share. It hasn't been on my mind yet.

Re: infra report for the president
Hi, I read the email tragedy of the commons, email, and wikis and this one also. I also know that , for spam reason, profiles are not updateable anymore. But I don't see a reason why the Apache OFBiz (Open For Business) Wiki https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Home would be only open to some persons (I'm one of them) Did I miss something?

Good question Jacopo, did not thought about that, too late I sent a request to the infra team, let's see Jacques On Tuesday, November 26, 2013 8:25 AM Jacopo Cappellato jacopo.cappell...@hotwaxmedia.com wrote: Are you logged in?

Re: infra report for the president
Hi Jacques, I just tested it and I am also unable to edit posts. I am sorry, but that is another nail in our coffin. Not only are we stuck with tools unfit for mass-conversation collaboration (mailing list doesn't even accept all user email addresses), but also are limiting access more and more. The idea of open-source development is based on the idea of a mass of contributors adding to the greater good. Our documentation is already lacking, having access limited to only a handful is going to make it obsolete...
