Scott,
I agree that the community changes ofbiz by committing. And as a
non-committer and just and end user, all I have is a voice.
You can also create Jira and patches... Of course discussing about it before is
always better...
I just found the arguments against the proposal to be unfounded and not
in the best interests of the ofbiz project. For example, the comment
about disk space and memory being cheap can't be serious - there aren't
many examples of monolithic software anymore.
Do we really care about disk size nowadays ? Maybe the bandwith argument
though...
For memory if you don't load applications (or remove them) they will not use
memory...
I think rather than hearing just objections, I would have preferred to
have heard a response along the lines of:
"the idea sounds interesting and warrants more investigation - please
feel free to put a design or prototype together".
Please feel free to put a design or prototype together :o)
Though discussing it before avoids disillusions... So what is your idea, Maven
2 ?
Jacques
Cheers,
Chris

Chris,
Very few things are ever not an option, but just because someone turns
up on the mailing list out of nowhere and proposes something vague
doesn't mean that it is suddenly a valid idea that everyone should
take seriously. OFBiz like every other apache project is a
meritocracy, the people in "control" are the people who actually get
things done for the project.

Scott

Anyway, I get the picture. A modular ofbiz is not an option! People
in control like ofbiz just the way it is - it suits their business
model.
No, you didn't get the picture, at all.
Please read the messages carefully and try to understand them before
attributing to others concepts that they don't expressed.
And I am not in control of OFBiz...

Great, so a modular ofbiz IS an option?
