Oh, I saw the irony.  I just gave a more concrete example of a real,
very critical problem.

There are lots of new people who've come on board since the last time
I was involved with ofbiz, and the quality of the project has gone
down hill.

I can give you a list a mile long of problems with ofbiz, if you want
it.  Usability issues.  Unimplemented features.  Half-finished code.
Things all over.  It's like people who are writing code aren't even
using what they are writing.

For years, we at brainfood didn't fully use ofbiz.  We used the
delegator to manage the database, and did the very basic party
management stuff, but had managed to stay out of any other framework
or applications; we just hadn't needed them yet.

However, now that we are digging into the other parts of ofbiz, we are
finding problems all over the board, with things that have existed for
ages.  This troubles us deeply.
