Even though im fairly new to the opengoo/ feng office scene i feel i should point out that (from my point of view) ALOT of these little arguments would be resolved if there was a centralised module service.
Something that alot of other projects have (jooml, drupal ,modx etc etc).
This opens the entire software up to be properly supported by the community AND allows the genuine contributions that are popular to be integrated (by the dev team so they still have work !) .
Without this type of model/service/approach its difficult for a community to add anything to project such as this in any meaningful way. Alot of people dont have time to sit down and write a large forum post. (me being one of them! this is my lunch break gone btw
)
For example i have written a few modules recently for feng office one of which was a (fairly complex) charting plugin which im sure would be a great addition but there isnt an obvious place to put it and i dont have time to write a forum post to the standard i would want (i dont want to just drop it in on a lunchtime after spending the time to write it)
Also there are a few core bus/missing calls that i noticed as i was building this and patched but again i would need to spend more time on the forum to write out everything i have done.
Time i dont really have!
and now my lunch breaks over ....
