[Xiaolou Huang]

Hi Paul,

I will definitely try this, I do need some practice on Linux. By the way, I 
have successfully installed ofbiz in macOSX.

Thank you, Michael, it installed successfully when I downgrade JDK to 1.8

Re: Installing Ofbiz problem on Mac

[Paul Mandeltort]

Your life may be a lot easier if you use a virtual machine and stick with a 
linux host for ofbiz.  Also if you ever go to production with it you’ll have a 
much easier time. 

Vagrant is probably the easiest on the dev side. I started playing with this 
but ran out of time. 

Nice part about vagrant workflows is it makes it super-easy to move between 
development platforms. 

I haven’t personally used the linked build below, but at first glance it looks 
like enough to get you going:

Hi Michael,
Yes, I did. The first time, it showed up tons of file in the command, and here 
is the second time:

Have you already checked out OFBiz from svn after installing Subversion?

Re: improve workflow for request of password loss

At present the stages are the following ones:
  1 - Request of loss of password (by the user)
  2 - Change of password by a temporary one (by the system)
  3 - Send of an e-mail with a link to define a new password (by the 
system)

  4 - Set the new password (by the user)
  5 - Recording of the new password (by the system)

This workflow is problematic because the change of password is made as 
soon as the person confirms the change of password (stage 2). It is 
possible that the person who makes the change of password is not the 
person associated with the account.


Here is a proposal of modification of the workflow
  1 - Request of loss of password (by the user)
  2 - Recording of a request of lost of password associated with the 
login (by the system)
  3 - Send of an e-mail to confirm the request of change of password 
with a link containing the reference of the request to change of 
password (by the system)
  4 - Connection of the user to the form to change the password and 
seized with a new password (by the user)

  5 - Check that the login and the request are associated
  6 - Recording of the new password (by the system)

What do you think about this change?

password loss.


At present the stages are the following ones:
  1 - Request of loss of password (by the user)
  2 - Change of password by a temporary one (by the system)
  3 - Send of an e-mail with a link to define a new password (by the 
system)

  4 - Set the new password (by the user)
  5 - Recording of the new password (by the system)

This workflow is problematic because the change of password is made as 
soon as the person confirms the change of password (stage 2). It is 
possible that the person who makes the change of password is not the 
person associated with the account.


Here is a proposal of modification of the workflow
  1 - Request of loss of password (by the user)
  2 - Recording of a request of lost of password associated with the 
login (by the system)
  3 - Send of an e-mail to confirm the request of change of password 
with a link containing the reference of the request to change of 
password (by the system)
  4 - Connection of the user to the form to change the password and 
seized with a new password (by the user)

  5 - Check that the login and the request are associated
  6 - Recording of the new password (by the system)

What do you think about this change?

Re: [SKYPE CALL] Confirmation of Date and Time for Documentation Call

[Taher Alkhateeb]

Hi Sharan,

On my part, the agenda of items i'd like to discuss includes:
- an overview and orientation of the documentation framework
- some guidelines and recommendations for technical writing
- OFBiz specific design considerations
- Tools and resources

In a sense, my agenda is a bit abstract because perhaps setting the ground
work would help in elaborating and brainstorming once people understand
exactly how their ideas should fit within the framework.

Re: [SKYPE CALL] Confirmation of Date and Time for Documentation Call

[Sharan Foga]

Hi All

 have a few ideas, I wanted to share in preparation for the call too (and I'm 
in agreement with Michael and Taher's suggestions so far) :

- To get started we need to focus on co-ordination, structure and organisation 
(we have a lot of people wanting to contribute but their efforts need to be 
co-ordinated
- We need a visual high level plan (see example roadmap above) so that everyone 
can quickly see progress and main milestones
- We need to define the scope of the effort (maybe do this by saying what we 
are not going to do??, eg. not an FAQ, not a tutorial, not a use case, not a 
cookbook) so will be feature documentation (i.e. describing what we have 
available)
- We can look at using JIRA as main co-ordination and tracking tool. We could 
look at using a new label eg 'documentation' in conjunction with the existing 
components. Maybe update workflow to have a new QA status ?
Is the assumption that the work will be done in the trunk ? (since 17.12 branch 
already created). This will mean that it become part of the 18.xx branch. Do we 
look at backporting to 17.12 ???
- Look at some ways to get started working together. One idea could be that we 
all work together creating the documentation for one component (My suggestion 
would be HR since a complete HR manual already exists. It will need a full 
review and maybe rewrite in parts but the main content is already there. Each 
person could be allocated an area and be responsible for submitting a patch

These are some of my brainstorming ideas :-) and I look forward to chatting 
with those of you planning to be on the call later today.

Thanks
Sharan
