Hi Ruth,
Actually my main argument was the help of the community. But on the other hand, it's true that you need less help with R4.0 because
it's more stable (Minerva issue aside)

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...

-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.
