Abbreviations meaning

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

I was reading the next OFBiz report https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/ASF+Board+Report+2011-06+DRAFT and it
reminds me something I have always wondered about.

Should we not give the meaning of the abbreviations we use there, and *especially* on the OFBiz site main page
http://ofbiz.apache.org/.

I mean <<Open Source ERP, Open Source CRM, Open Source E-Business / E-Commerce, Open Source SCM, Open Source MRP, Open Source
CMMS/EAM>>

Opinions?

Jacques

Most small business owners don't have an MBA and have no idea of the
meanings of these terms.  Good point.

Let's hope most small business owners know about Google.

Yes, that's what I thought until now, but it's the second time I Google for CMMS/EAM ;o)
