I disagree with the changes, as I have explained in a separate email. Controversial changes like this, that are immediately published as official pages soon as you commit them, should go thru a slow and careful review than commit process. I understand that the project gets an high pressure from the outside from companies/professionals willing to promote their work and services; I know, also from a SEO perspective, how important is that direct links from the OFBiz website point to the external site directly... this is why we get this pressure. However it is responsibility of the project to preserve the neutrality and to resist to them; if we will decide to open to this, then we will have to be certain that there are clear rules on how to publish the links (who is allowed, what content can go there, in which order etc...)
