------------------------------------------

Hi Sharan,

I have downloaded the PDF document and quickly reviewed it.
It is a very well written document, I like it.
However before I will vote positively to publish a link to it from the OFBiz site I would like you to add in the book some information about OFBiz like:

"Apache OFBiz (http://ofbiz.apache.org) is a trademark of The Apache Software Foundation"

PS: setting the "requirement method enum" id is not required to run the MRP, and in fact it is an alternative (simpler) method for generating requirements.

Jacopo,

I have also followed your recommendation and added the trademark sentence in [POS manuals (English and French)|http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/POS+System#POSSystem-Userdocumentation]

Hi Jacopo

Thanks very much for your feedback. I'll add what you've suggested to the guide and publish an updated version. I'll leave a comment on this Jira when I've done the update and will email you a copy for information.

Thanks also for the tip!

Hi All:
I just attached a patch to add this link to the "in the News" section of the website. I'm hoping that when you agree that it is ok to add this, the patch will be here ready to go.

Anil K Patel commented on OFBIZ-3565:
-------------------------------------

The help document by Sharan is great Documentation. I think it should be listed along with other Ofbiz related books on wiki page.

Does this mean that the all the committers have voted and the decision is a 'No' for this to be included as a news item?  

Thanks

Hi Sharan,

Did you put a "Apache OFBiz (http://ofbiz.apache.org) is a trademark of The Apache Software Foundation" somewhere in the book as Jacopo requested? You could also put a  (TM) or (R) symbol. This is explained [here|http://www.apache.org/foundation/marks/#principles]

BTW I have enhanced the [Licence FAQ page in wiki|http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/About+Apache+Software+Fundation+Licence+and+more...]

Hi Jacques

Yes I've done the update of adding the text Jacopo requested (it's noted in the 4th comment on this Jira). I've put in on the front page of the document.

Thanks

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-3565:
----------------------------------------

BTW, I don't think we have voted but it seems that books would find a better place in the books page. On the other hand why not a news, if it comes from a third party...
I hate marketing... but it seems everybody, including me of course, is needing it. What a world we are building. Financiers and Marketing are driving it and  sometimes it really scares me...

Anil K Patel commented on OFBIZ-3565:
-------------------------------------

News from "Third part" :) This just opens up another work around for getting spot on Ofbiz home page.

I will rather like clean home page. With very little or no news. Only news items that I think should be posted are, Press Releases by Ofbiz community.

------------------------------------

Hi Anil

I was just waiting for someone to tell me what the final committers decision is. If it's 'No' for the front page then I'm happy to accept that.

The fact that this conversation seems to be dragging on a bit makes me think that it's a 'No'. So if its 'No' then can somebody please just say so and we can close this Jira.

Thanks
Sharan

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-3565:
----------------------------------------

Sharan,

We did not vote. So if you ask for an official decision nobody can give it to you. Looks like the Scott's guidelines you posted on the wiki are not enough. Like you said, for the moment at least, the consensus is converging toward a NO.

----------------------------------------

Or maybe you mean the vote for this Jira issue? Then it seems only Jacopo agreed. But this not really a vote, because you can't disagree.

Jacques Le Roux commented on OFBIZ-3565:
----------------------------------------

The simplest way is to put a comment there, like Ruth already did.

I'm a bit embarrassed by this book story. I think I was the 1st to suggest the books page. On the other hand, I have been a reviewer of the Packt book and their marketing pushed me to put a news on the main page. So I feel it like it's not fair, even if an eBook and a book are not stritcly the same thing.

Note that as a reviewer I only got 2 free books (that I never read since I already reviewed the book, for free), so it's not really a "bribe" issue :p
