[Vtigercrm-developers] vtiger current status and call to action

[Vincenzo Bruno]

Hi Angelo,
I fully agree with you.
Unfortunately my journey in your plan ends at Step 1 because I'm not yet 
in the Git.
I'm happy to contribute if I can, so I ask Vtiger staff to allow me in 
the code server.

Vincenzo
