In general, a +1 for the proposal, as indicated by my earlier involvement in putting the proposal together and signing up as a mentor/champion. There IS a conceptual and code-level separation between the OFBiz framework and components built on top of it, but I think it makes a nice cohesive project together. It's sort of like if Tomcat and Struts were under the same umbrella: not necessary, but not hurtful as long as people can independently download, use, develop, and contribute to either layer. My understanding is the OFBiz has always been like that, which is good. I like the diversity of the OFBiz community: the contributors have different backgrounds, different affiliations, and are generally both independent and work together in a way that is just like the best ASF projects. I think this is a very strong point in OFBiz: I'm fairly sure the community will only grow and prosper in the future. -- Yoav Shapira System Design and Management Fellow MIT Sloan School of Management Cambridge, MA, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] / www.yoavshapira.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
