[OFBiz] Users - Spring versus Ofbiz?

[David E. Jones]

Andy and I talked about this last night, and this is pretty much what 
Andy mentioned before and is a continuation of a direction that OFBiz 
has already started.

We have an "example" component right in the "framework" directory that 
has been a part of OFBiz for years. This is mostly just a skeleton, but 
we are talking about adding a couple of example entities with related 
services and admin oriented web pages in the example component, and 
then writing a document that is basically a walk through of all of 
this.

This will follow the recommended best practices for OFBiz, and will tie 
closely to the Framework Quick Reference Book which has some nice 
diagrams and such (which will be referred to and/or reproduced in the 
document), but the quick reference book does not have any narrative, so 
that is mostly what this document would add.

When will this be available? Good question... Is anyone interested in 
helping with effort or funding? Andy and I can get it done, and some 
people that help a lot with such things I'm sure will get involved 
(like Ruth Hoffman on the writing side and Jacopo and Si and Al and 
others on the technical side), but it would be nice if there were 
certain people that could offer more dedicated temporary resources.
