Hi Ben,

this is Ismael Ciordia, responsible for "Openbravo platform". I will be more 
than happy to discuss with you any improvement/enhancement in Openbravo 
platform design and if we reach an agreement -for sure we will- to coordinate 
with you how to implement those changes in core. Not only that, our daily work 
and documentation (functional spec. / technical design / test plan) is 
publically available and we are fully open for feedback. If your requirements 
are aligned with our current priorities we will allocate resources to make it 
happen.

I am sure that other area responsibles will react in the same way, but take 
into account that August is a holiday month so they may reply with some delay. 
Please be patient.

If your request is in the platform area I propose you to contact me (ismael dot 
ciordia at openbravo dot com) to schedule an IRC or Skype chat to start the 
discussion.

Best,

Ismael

  Asunto: [Openbravo-development] Process for design changes/improvements?


  Hi,

  What is the process for proposing & discussing changes to the current design 
of Openbravo Core?
  i.e. Not adding new functionality or enhancing existing functions, but just 
changing the underlying 
  implementation (and possibly design).

  I can do the same process as a bug fix or enhancement and file an issue, then 
implement & commit
  the changes.  However I'd really like to be able to discuss the proposed 
changes before implementing 
  them.  Just because I think a certain approach is better doesn't mean that it 
actually is. I may be unaware
  of constraints/requirements that lead to the original design/implementation.

  What I'd really like to be able to do is put forward a proposal and then have 
a review/discussion with
  the person(s) responsible for that area of code.  Assuming they are happy 
with the proposal I can
  then implement the changes.

  Awaiting your thoughts
  cheers
