[Vtigercrm-developers] Happy New Year

[Conrado Maggi]

Hi,

Agree with Alan. As extension publisher, we need more visibility of what is
planned for the Open Source version 2016. Most of us have invested in
developing the extensions so we need to know what is planned for the
product, marketplace, etc.



Cheers,
Conrado
