Hi Jacques:
I understand and respect where both of you are coming from. But I think
you need to consider that for new users (and this is only for new
users), they should be guided towards using a stable, proven release.
The 4.x release is the only release that is proven and works
out-of-the-box as advertised.
Your reference to beginner documentation aside (and, BTW, this is
developer documentation not end-user documentation), I can't in good
conscience suggest to anyone to use code that hasn't been proven either
through formal release management practices or through actual experience
in the field.
Just my 2 cents.

I totally agree with Ashish (not surprising) but Ruth is also right to
say that we have still some bugs in R9.04, but it's improving day
after day and have a lot more features and a better architecture. For
instance there is still issues with Minerva in R4. And IMO, the main
reason is you will not get much help (if any) from the community with
R4. We are almost all turned to the future, not the past...

From: "Ashish Vijaywargiya" <ashish.vijaywarg...@hotwaxmedia.com>
-1 for starting with OFBiz 4.0 release.
Instead of this I will recommend to start with either Release branch
9.04 or trunk and report any bug found.
The main reason of my recommendation is that the beginner
document(http://docs.ofbiz.org/x/UBE) and some other document best
support to Release Branch 9.04 & trunk.
PS: "4.x trunk release" - Ruth, If I am not wrong "trunk" word is
used for the repository on which current development is going on.

Hello Olindo:
IMHO - and not to ruffle any feathers - there are a number of minor
but very visible bugs (mostly in the presentation layer) in the 9.04
release that could easily discourage and frustrate a first time
user. I found this out the hard way while trying to use the 9.04
release as a basis for screen shots in my 2 books (and for the
myofbiz.com website.)
My advice for what it is worth: if you are a beginner, start with
the 4.x trunk release (it's rock solid and proven) and then, when
you understand how OFBiz should work, move on to 9.04 if needed.
Again,
Just my 2 cents.
