[OFBiz] Dev - Ofbiz addons

[David Jones]

Michael,

Yes, if you are interested in hosting that for now I'd say go for it 
(especially considering that you have some specific add-ons that you 
would like to open up for collaboration with others). Eventually I'd 
like to set one up that is more central, but we only have one small 
server on a reliable connection and a bigger one on an unreliable 
connection, so we'll have to wait a bit. Eventually we will have some 
bigger servers setup for running JIRA and moving the OFBiz CVS 
repository off of java.net, and of course for the upcoming 
documentation and community site, but those are all in the future 
still, maybe within a month or two, but still in the future.
