Charley, Sounds good to me at this point. I'll look into setting up a sourceforge project when the design document has something substantial in it. Jeff On Tuesday 30 January 2007 21:02, Charley Tiggs wrote: > We can start with Sourceforge for sure and then, if the core developers > of LSMB thi

Josh, A couple of reasons. MRP requests comes up once and a while on the SL list and many small businesses don't want to be overwhelmed by an ERP system. Secondly I have around 11 years of background in MRP - I felt an MRP module would round out LSMB quite well. Payroll has always been one of

Jeff, Is there a reason why you're drawn to ERP? I ask because there are a bunch of open source ERP projects already (Compiere, OpenBravo, etc.) but there are not really good time&billing or payroll tools. -- --Josh Josh Berkus PostgreSQL @ Sun San Francisco ---

We can start with Sourceforge for sure and then, if the core developers of LSMB think it's worth it, when they bring up their own versioning system, perhaps we can move it there? Charley Jeff Gerritsen wrote: > Charley, > Thanks for the input. > > I've found some manufacturing documentation

Thanks for your input Darald, I'll keep the list informed of developments. I'm working on a detailed design document and planning on posting more detail later this week. Hopefully the document will give the specific detail your seeking. If it doesn't feel free to let me know any additional de

Charley, Thanks for the input. I've found some manufacturing documentation published on the web and I'm sifting through the material to develop commonalities to be used in developing a design plan or design document for review. I'm thinking about creating a sourceforge project to post the inf

As I think about it, I do have at least one customer that might be interested in some of this down the road. They currently use SQL-Ledger 2.4 in a limited point of sale capacity, and we are trying to move them to LSMB 1.2 when that comes out. In addition to the retail end, they also press cider,

Jeff, I've never been part of an open source project either so I'm unsure of where to begin either. I'd start by looking at some of the RPG projects that are already on source forge and see if we can't come up with some commonalities among them, perhaps? I suspect that'd tell us what the bas

I've been watching both email groups SL for years and LSMB since its inception. One item that keeps surfacing from time to time is the need for some type of MRP module that can interface with either SL or LSMB. I have over 11 years combined experience with manufacturing packages written on the
