[Vtigercrm-developers] Roadmap 6.5 and 7

Mon Apr 25 08:49:57 GMT 2016

@Manuel 
Similar stories keep popping up in the forum for years [at least 8], and
the same scenario repeats every time. The people who start getting to
know the system, and want it to be a part of strategy, leave the
producer, because he's not a part of the community. Individual users, as
well as entire teams, left the community and started creating their own
independent solutions, or even systems, and from what I noticed in all
the cases I know about - it's all because of the cooperation with the
producer. 

Instead of gathering the community - it's being divided, which means
that the ones who lose the most are the users themselves. If the whole
energy devoted to creating clones like coreBOS or YetiForce [and many
more] was used to develop one system, we'd have the best open system in
the world, which could compete with SalesForce and other commercial
companies. For most of the average sized and large companies it doesn't
matter that the system is free, what matters for them is its
functionality, how many other companies in a given country develop that
system, and whether companies from that branch use it.  

@Vtiger Team
Producer, I got a few questions:
1. You abandoned TRAC in favor of Gitlab, why didn't you transfer
hundreds of opened issues?
2. Right now more issues are being opened, than you are able to close.
What are you planning to do with that?
3. Why has nobody made any changes in the system for the past 2 years?
4. Who coordinates this project? Who can we consult, and hope for any
answer? 
5. Some people are looking forward to version 7, be honest, how real is
it? 

@others
Whether you want it or not, we are a part of the community as well. Even
now, that we don't introduce any changes to Vtiger, the system still
keeps getting a lot from us, at least our changes in YetiForce that are
transferred by users to Gitlab. We take from Vtiger too [though less and
less every day, because the system itself doesn't really offer anything
new on a daily basis]. We wish Vtiger changed its current direction, and
focused on the community, then we would be able to use it [and vice
versa].

On Demand service is a collection of applications that are running on different servers, CRM being one of them. There is Global search that is driven through Solr. Then there is Email campaigns service that we run through a network of servers. And there is a Email Archival and Response service for converting emails into tickets, ..etc. In addition, Notifications, and some of the connectors such as Quickbooks, and Zapier require intermediate services.
