[Vtigercrm-developers] Custom Date Fields still broken in Reports

[Preexo]

I think having a 6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and a 6.4 (4-5 versions) within this year
sounds pretty damn good and like progress at first!! 
... If there wasn't the on demand version which feels like it's already at
7.4. And officially this should still be the same product, right? 
Money... Money is nice, money is what drives us all. It's why I keep coming
back here... Because it's my job and I earn money with this. So don't stop
earning money, but running a successful open source project doesn't mean you
can't earn money... vtiger has the potential of being part of this list:
http://www.infoworld.com/article/2982622/open-source-tools/bossie-awards-2015-the-best-open-source-applications.html
For sure all of them earn money and are still more open source than vtiger.

The vtiger team should not feel pushed, but this really needs to be
answered. I also think the gap between on demand and open source becomes
more and more fishy. Is the open source project actually being abandoned
very slowly? 

>From my point of view:
- The on demand can happily always offer more features than the os version.
But vtiger should put those features up on the marketplace as modules so
that we can buy those for our os installations and don't have to reinvent
the wheel all the time.
- The vtiger forum and this mailing list are very bad to use. So is the svn
repository. If you want us open source users and developers actually
contribute, consider moving the repository to a modern repo like github,
offer a nice to use platform for everyone, don't be stuck with the dodgy
sourceforge and become fakers like they are.
- Answer the question: Do you want us to contribute? Do you want to actually
live the open source spirit? Do you want to stop maintaining two products?

@Stacey, do you actually know a fork of vtiger that is somewhere near ready
to be joined?
