Re: [jira] [Created] (COMDEV-269) GSOC 2018 OFBiz Extend AR/AP to support China accounting regulations

Hi Shi,

I think it would be better to first discuss in the OFBiz developers list 
about the topics we want to address for GoC instead of directly filing 
them in the comdev Jira.

Regards,

Michael

Re: [jira] [Created] (COMDEV-269) GSOC 2018 OFBiz Extend AR/AP to support China accounting regulations

Posted by Sharan Foga <sh...@apache.org>.
Hi All

Perhaps I'm heading off on another track here because reading the task description this seems more suited to be a plugin. For me the question is more about whether we as a project will be able to support and maintain whatever code is produced. This is important because it can define what is classed as an official OFBiz project plugin as opposed to a plugin someone writes and makes available to the community.

So a couple more questions and this is to our Chinese community and committers :-) 

- Would this task be a useful option to add to OFBiz?
- And if it does get implemented - would you be willing to help support and maintain it in the future?

Thanks
Sharan
