[Vtigercrm-developers] Write addons / modules

Tue Feb 19 05:00:43 PST 2008

Thank you Greg.

I want to let everybody know that the work has started on this task but not
directly by us.
I hope more information can be post on this mailing list soon.

Meanwhile the team working on this project needs a maximum of comments and
request from you to be able to focus our needs.

So please everyone, reply and let us know what you expect from this plugin
module.
