I am for standalone framework. David has been working on that project for a while, if I remember correctly.
#2 bothers me though. The design of ofbiz was that the entity was the controlling factor for creating DB and UI. I was one of the major reasons I came to ofbiz. That said, any work that wants to be done on UI integration that makes ofbiz look classy, I think should be the focus. A lot of work has been done in that area. But integrating other UI interfaces that keep the design idea of the entity being to controlling focus is what I would like to see. I don't see ofbiz being object oriented in the normal sense. I see the effort for the help files and a easily understood UI from the user point of view being the main factors in promoting ofbiz.
