including of a charting function
browsing the web I saw that Apache forest has included jchart in their
distribution (http://jchart.sourceforge.net/)
a possible candidate for ofbiz too?
If every component gives an overview of its current data in some chart
format on the 'main' page would be a nice addition....

Well...jfreechart is not an Apache project, I know...but jchart seems
stopped at 2004 :-(

But Bruno....LGPL we cannot use....and freechart has his own license
which seems to be compatible with the apache because Apache Forest
included it?

I think jfreechart (http://www.jfree.org/jfreechart/) is a better
package to look at. It is LGPL also and is much more powerfull and
well referenced.
I do not know NetSuite but I see how chart portlets are used in JIRA.
They are based on jfreechart and allows users to show the chart he
wants setting some portlet parameter.
We have portlet parameters in OFBiz also.
So, for instance, the order manager application could define a portlet
that shows a bar chart of number of orders issued over time.
Then the user who wants such a chart on his portal page can place the
portlet and set the attributes that could be for instance the time
interval (one bar for each day or for each week) and some filter
attributes to select orders.

Would it make sense to integrate with the new portal functionality, and then build "dashboards" for each component? This gives the end user some control over what they see This is the way NetSuite works.
