Ok, I added /incubator/site-author/ip-clearance/ofbiz.xml - although I
only cut the lines to be cut and changed the title. More later...

I added that too, thanks to Jacopo Cappellato, who did the initial
version of it.

Which /dev/ are you referring to?

Ok - I get the impression that they've got a good handle on this, and
may be able to do the initial import with no dependancies.

Ok. So, if David Jones is reading this, that would be jefft followed by
apache.org, right?

I'll let the OFBiz guys take it from here on this issue...

Thanks to Jacopo, we have an initial cut at that, but neither he nor I
has the tools to turn it into HTML (and I need to get some sleep tonight).
If anyone else on the OFBiz team wants to have a crack at it, it's
attached to this email (I'm not sure you can access the incubator repo
anonymously?).

<title>Description</title>
<p>
The Open For Business Project (OFBiz) is an open source
enterprise automation software project. By open source
enterprise automation we mean: Open Source ERP, Open Source
CRM, Open Source E-Business / E-Commerce, Open Source SCM,
Open Source MRP, Open Source CMMS/EAM, and so on. It is one of
the few apps of this type to be developed by a community,
rather than one corporation.
