This was already discussed indeed. This option is still open. On the other hand, after more than a decade, I believe OFBiz is even better. For almost 3 years now we are less including new features and more fixing what exists. Notably in the framewors itself, where a replacement by Moqui makes more sense. We are even removing unused stuff, sometimes too harshly said Skip recently, nobody's perfect. > I don't think American car manufacturers were really concerned about > improving their product until the Japanese came along.

Don't try to translate with Google (again lost in translation).

I think nobody is against it. As you say this would be a long, or maybe medium, term goal. OFBiz is considered stable now. Replacing the framework with Moqui would certainly take some time before acquiring the same level of stability Jacques PS: thanks Adrian for your defense of the team > -Al > > > On Mon, May 20, 2013 at 11:10 AM, Adrian Crum < > adrian.c...@sandglass-software.com> wrote: > >> A quick clarification on this. >> >> "OFBiz was brilliant when David created it over ten years ago, but..." >> implies OFBiz is no longer brilliant.
