Redhuan D. Oon - 2005-06-13

Hi,
Just to put it down on record, I suddenly find my name included in this developer's list without my consent. :)

And i m also of the opinion that any further contributor to Compiere shuld write to such ppl in the following order:

1) Jorg Janke. Put your contribution in the sub folder concerned and drop a short note.

If there is no positive response then;

2) Compilo.
And usually Marco will welcome, but if not, then;

3) RED1.org :)

4) Peter Shen.

As these all are already there and profess to follow the line of OS. So put them to the test.

Anyway as a principle that is more important, we must examine each effort at merit and welcome it into the OS world, regardless if its organised under proper names or in haggard fashion - as most creativity are. Order shall proceed from Chaos if the intent is right. Its useless to have order when no one wants to contribute.

I have read the doc in the files section here and understand it somewhat to adress a very real business need in this area of pricing.

Many will know that in real life customers enjoy special pricings due to various buying behaviour, such as buying alot, been buying for a long time, buying due to recommendation, buying only the offers - many pragmatic behaviour not captured by the basic Compiere. The end customer handling that this profess can enhance its CRM value, and of course that is a killer aspect of this killer app.

The rules written out are good enough and we shall add to it first, before developing the module proper.

Then again, after developing that, the champion here should write again to Jorg Janke and request for admission. Then that module becomes forever inbuilt with Compiere and the associative branding will importantly remain and grow more meaningfully with the contributors.

The guru of branding, Al Ries nd Jack Trout has pointed out that in order to be branded u have to play the gambit: 'Sacrifice some pawn for the better position'.

They often have the last word about branding:

"Brand or die".
