Fair enough - here's what the situation is from my point of view:
OFBiz was accepted for 'incubation' at the Apache Software Foundation
with this proposal:
http://wiki.apache.org/incubator/OFBizProposalWhat that entails is a gradual migration to ASF resources (mailing
lists, JIRA, subversion, web pages, wiki and so on), and that for the
duration of Incubation, OFBiz will be, to some degree, 'under the
lense' so to speak, to make sure it is suitable for inclusion as a
proper ASF project. The criteria are available in the pages posted
previously, but I think that OFBiz more or less meets them already (or
I wouldn't have proposed it), so hopefully things will go smoothly.
Myself, and J Aaron Farr are the official 'mentors' for OFBiz, with
Yoav Shapira and Martin van den Bemt declaring their interest to help
out some. That doesn't mean that we have any control over the
direction of OFBIz - that's decided by the people who write it.
Rather, we're here to help out with the bureaucracy and integration
into the ASF.
I'll let the OFBiz guys themselves add to this as they see fit.
Does that help some?
