Marketing OFBiz

Tim Ruppert
As many of you know, coming out of ApacheCon US (and now ApacheCon EU), one of the main focuses was on the marketing and productizing of the OFBiz applications.  Over the past few months, Erik Schuessler of Brainfood came up with an amazing new concept that I believe will allow OFBiz to continue to make a large splash in the ERP, ecommerce and custom software development space.  A few of the desigerns at HotWax furthered his look and feel on the backend applications and docs.ofbiz.org sites in hopes that we can take full advantage of the press we're about to get for the upcoming release.

I have created a number of issues to track the progress and thoughts of the community here:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2261 - ofbiz.apache.org screenshots
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2262 - docs.ofbiz.org screenshots
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-2263 - backend theme to match ofbiz.apache.org

You can also download the screenshots from this URL as well to get your juices flowing.

We are looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts and getting these changes and any of your modifications in before the release.

Cheers,
Tim

Only comment on the backend:

I think every theme has its own fans.

It would be better if there is a list to compare the ease of use of old
style and the new one, such as
functions         clicks/scrolls in old        clicks/scrolls in new
create a store              3                            3

If all the same, it's waste of time. Supporting "Enter" key as Tab on a
page would be more important than another theme.

I hope the change of backend will be in a direction to improve
productivity.

This is an interesting point, even if design (if the styling sense) is, IMO, also important
What would you suggest on a practical level ?

well how about expanding the preferences or the Portal to allow menus to
be done the way a particular business does it flow.
this means any business can configure the menus in the sequence they use
them
I do this now for my clients by using bookmarks.
I use folders for each operation then add links in the folders for that
operation.

Well since I am not a guru, all I can do is help with testing. So yea, if you apply it on the hotwax media demo, I will help by clicking ALL the links to make sure they look as expected on
IE6, IE7, IE8, FF2, FF3 and Chrome.

Don't bother with IE6 and FF2 but rather Opera and Safari

Thanks
