New fork available on GITHUB

[Pierre Smits]

Hi all,

It pleases me to be able to announce the availability of my fork of OFBiz
on GITHUB.

https://github.com/PierreSmits/OFBizBase

Highlights of this fork are:

   - No (default) inclusion of optional components in the application and
   specialpurpose stack
   - No (default) inclusion of optional themes
   - When executing the loadDefault command demo data is not loaded.

Feel free to check it out, fork and customise that to your needs.

Information (WIP) on various components included in this fork, and on
optional components, can be found via:
https://oem.ofbizci.net/oci-2

Should you have any questions and/or remarks, feel free to post these to
this mailing list.

Best regards,

Pierre Smits

Since there are more than 400 forks of the official OFBiz mirror in GitHub
[*], it is not feasible to use these mailing lists to discuss
questions/remarks specific to them. If all the owners of each fork would do
the same then the discussions in this list would be very confusing. I
recommend you use other tools to communicate with interested users like for
examples the ones provided by GitHub (e.g. pull requests).

Thanks,

Jacopo

I appreciate the fork and the notification, Pierre.

Had a quick look - sounds really promising! Good job and thank you for sharing!

[Paul Piper]

In direct response to Jacopo: apparently, you have not worked with Github before. Forking from a project does not necessarily produce individual releases or do they thrive towards it. Sometimes it is just used by parties to create an upgradeable branch of the software, in which they can add their own additions/modifications and share it with the rest. So one does not always represent the other and the claim of 400 projects actively being pursued is rediculous.

The few that make it an individiual project are worth reporting.

Paul,

I agree that there are certainly not 400 active OFBiz forks in GitHub

I think Jacopo just wanted to highlight that we can't exchange about all the OFBiz forks in GitHub in this user ML

Since the project is ofbiz, it is completely relevant to this mailing
list.  I appreciate it, for instance when new versions of BigFish are
announced.
