Hi Jacques, 

We've been using the addon manager for a while quite a while. I have translated 
most of ofbiz to Arabic using the DOP patches which are easily upgradable to 
newer versions. 

We do not have access to the repository source code repository anymore for some 
reason, I only get the executables in sourceforge. 

Thank you for the tips, I will take them into consideration in our next version 
upgrade! We will start to depend more on trunk to also be more useful and 
contributing to the project.

This is what I kinda do. But I update every week and at some point I freeze and 
backport the important bug fixes myself. Of course this means to stay 
tuned.

Ha interesting, for how long are you using the ofbiz addon manage? Did you 
reuse existing addons or simply created your own?
