[Vtigercrm-developers] List of potential contributions - feedback requested

[Nolan Andres]

hey...

I agree with Torsten. The Custom Field stuff is important. For the same reason, actually, I think the Reports stuff is pretty valuable, too. Based on the replies so far, though...

1. I've submitted a request for a forge project for the AutoEmail stuff, and am in conversation with Joe on that. I'll make sure to keep this list apprised of any developments as things move forward there.

2. I'll start pulling together some of the Custom Field stuff tonight so that I can let people know what's all involved. I'm thinking that this particular one may be a fairly easy port to 5.0.4 if the decisions I made stand the test of community inspection. Even if not, I think it'll still be pretty quick. It's really not all that complex in the end.

peace,
Nolan
