Perhaps in order to add my own 2 cents to this debate: The way I see it, OFbiz is need for the carousel images, although they should be updated. Rereading the content, i noticed that the information do not really stand for much, and though they are eye-pleasing I highly doubt that they are being read. What we would need is a set of actual messages we want to stand for. Topics could be:
1. Open Source - Strong Community 2. Full Business Solution 3. Flexible ERP Framework 4. Feature-Rich eCommerce used by many The images and messages should add to that. Currently, there is only eCommerce stores represented, though by the above topics only 1 of them should even feature stores (or brand-logos to give more the feel of the 250+ implementation we currently got). The others should rather feature a source code sample (open-source), versatile business applications and how easily one can connect OFBiz with other systems. ----- As far as the contributors debate is concerned: I must say that I have a growing disdain of the current use of the phrases "Commiters" "Contributors" and "PMC Member". Especially in the world of Apache, I am used to having a flexible leadership and group-effort. Over the years, I have learned, however that the OFbiz community works alot different from it. I think I can say that my team and I have added quite a bit of value to the project, by being involved in the ml, representing OFBiz at the Apache-Con, writing articles to magazines, contributing software code (Solr component, Seo enhancements, CMS integration sample, Axis2 implementation etc.), though we are stuck being in the "contributors" list. I am not down-talking the achivements of others, but one has to admit that the use of the phrases is rather random. Other huge contributors seem to share a similar fate. The reason i am bringing it up here, is because the ml has the tendency to downtalk the contributions of others, contributions that the community is in desperate need for. Anything contributed is an investment by the individual, no matter in which form (even discussions on the ml add to it in my perspective) and the current selection of "rank" over actual contribution is a state that i find deeply disturbing and worrisome. -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/OFBiz-org-site-easier-navigation-to-Service-Providers-and-End-Users-tp4648057p4648413.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
