OFBiz site as an application

[Jacques Le Roux]

Hi,

I will soon remove this application if nobody sees a problem with that. It's totally deprecated now and anyway, even if we update it, we will have to update in the future, etc.

Seems like a good idéa to me, as it really doesn't fit in anyway compared to
the other applications in the menu.

Mmm, Though I remember now Hans's proposition to have the site in the ofbiz repository directly and build everyday. The OFBiz demo
instance would then support the http://ofbiz.apache.org/ site
I wonder if it's really a good idea. If we get a problem with OFBiz demo instance the site would not be available. I think it's
safer to have static pages instead. It's really not hard to maintain.

WDYT ?

If you use https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/site it's as easy as having it embedded.

Yes, I agree that would be a plus if done right (ie easily customisable, not only an inner HTML content)

Mmm, should be...

Indeed, that's solid arguments! Let's see what other thinks...

BTW, it would be a very good mean to have all languages in svn repo!

I thought the headache here was that ASF will not let us have our own
machine? I probably missed something.

Hi Ean..

we already have our own machine....
http://ofbiz-vm.apache.org/ecommerce/

now we have to find the time to move things over.

at the moment i see 500K of memory what is not enough to run all
instances....

but sure it is a start.

Regarding your question...no, we cannot move the ofbiz.apache.org to
this instance...not sure why not...so it is still up the air if we can
achieve this....

Regards,
Hans

Back on this,

Should we not be realistic and for marketing purpose simply have the home page translated (and possibly shown accordingly to
language used)?
It it really a big deal for our users?

Thanks for your opinions (if any ;o)
