Hi Walter,

your explaination now does make a lot of sense to me! Thank you for
clarification.

What is beeing done to make sure that the modules you provide will
remain compatible with future versions of OFBiz SVN?

And maybe this question sounds a bit stupid but I will ask it anyway:

As Opentaps is OSS as well, why don't you just contribute to the OFBiz
project? I forsee that sooner or later someone else in the project will
start an improved financials module as well and it might conflict with
yours.

Regards,
Torsten
