Rafiu,

We aren't selling the online docs any more because we no longer have a technical writer working on them full time. We also aren't handing out accounts for free because we'd like some help moving the docs to the new server and editing and cleaning them up, so for right now the only way to get access to those docs (if you don't already have a paid account) is to volunteer to help migrate the content.

My hope is that this effort will be over ASAP and then the whole end-user documentation effort will be much more collaborative, and more freely available to OFBiz users and developers in general.

-David
