Dear Team,
We are currently working on the following and we NEED volunteers for almost all the activities :-
- a) Move common forum posts to the wiki and lock those posts
- b) Publish the estimated dates for 5.0.x releases
- c) We need information on who all have done integration with any accounting softwares out there as
- it seems to be the most commonly asked query
- d) Make the product smaller in size still. I feel, the product is even now too big. We need assistance
- from you all in this regard. I think we should reduce the size by another 50% at least.
- e) Language packs. We are running in circles with this issue. We have tested and tested and still not able
- to reach a point where we can rest relaxed. We need help in this.
- It will be great if we have owners for this issue who will take this issue to its logical conclusion. The owner
- may have his own team/project
- f) More language packs needed
- g) More blogs needed
- h) More advertising needed
- i) More bundling of vtiger in CDs,DVDs needed
- j) More information on vtiger successes needed so that it enthuses others to use vtiger
- k) More information needed on where all vtiger lacks so that we can start working on those areas
- l) More themes needed to make the product more sexy
- m) More involvement with those given responsibility so that the core team is left free to do what it does best
- o) Need more contributions for patches/features. We have started working on this end by notifying the status of
- each contribution. I hope this will encourage the contributors to contribute more and add value to the product. Also
- we are making it a point to acknowledge all credits.
- p) Achieve twice the popularity by the end of this calendar year. vtiger needs to spread virally to all the corners of the world. Tell me what can we
- do to achieve this. I have been spending sleepless nights for far too long on this.
- q) Need information on sites hosting vtiger so that the customers have an easy option to choose and not scour for information.
- r) Try and make the product more plug and play. This can be achieved if we are fanatical about quality so we need more testers
- s) Make vtiger as simple as a toy so that anyone can play with it
- t) Enhance the plugins
- u) Make more plugins
- v) Need more sponsors for vtiger
- w) Need more wild ideas for incorporating into vtiger as one never knows what will succeed and what not
- x) Need volunteers who can peek into the code and say this is redundant code, we can make it work better like xzy
- y) Need experienced ppl on board who can guide the young guns
- z) Need ideas on how to make vtiger more fun
- n) Need more friends, it is so tough at times ..
Thanks for kicking my ass Balduin! I read your blog comment
