Hi Joe,<br>
<br>
Sorry for the inconvenience.<br>
<br>
We don't have issues in providing separate branches for our developer
community. Could you please send us your future development plans to
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:philip@vtiger.com">philip@vtiger.com</a> so that he will create branches based on your
requirements.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Gopal<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I read this thread and I just keep asking myself:
what am I doing wrong?
You guys have branches and are participating. I have been asking to help
for a long time now and I am just being ignored.
I really would like to help and work together.

<pre wrap="">Hi everyone,
First I want to tell you developers that I admire your work. I first
downloaded vtiger a few days ago, for customer relationship
management at my uncles little ceramic factory, and I was amazed,
but after I showed it to him, well, it seems that it is too much for
what my uncle wants.

<pre wrap="">Gopal: From the Security settings module, you can disable
modules/fields that are not required. Please get back to me if you
need any further clarifications.

<pre wrap="">I love PHP, and I thought that I could minimize it to what at this

to start a new project at sourceforge.net based on vtigerCRM 5.

<pre wrap="">Gopal: Down the road, we are planning to make vtiger CRM - fully
customizable so that business users configure the vtiger system
instead of hacking the code. Could you please post your goals, so
that we will cross-check our road map and let you know our position?

<pre wrap="">Gopal: In general there are no issues in forking open source projects,
provided you are not violating the Open Source license of your
predecessor.

<pre wrap="">If so, Would I have to cover it under some other new license type?

<pre wrap="">Gopal: Release your contributions under some Open Source license which
meets your requirements.

<pre wrap="">Gopal: vtiger CRM code base is 100% open source by spirit. Hence you

<pre wrap="">Gopal: Kindly review the vtiger and other third-party licenses with
your Legal adviser (council) before modifying back-end/front-end code
base.
On a separate note, our community is actively participating in vtiger
development. Most of the community members
(developers/testers/writers/translators) are directly contributing to
the core code base (For example: PostgreSQL & DMS branches in our
SVN).
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://vtiger.fosslabs.com">http://vtiger.fosslabs.com</a>
We are also encouraging many add-on projects based on vtiger CRM,
which cater to the need of user-specific requirements. For more
details, please refer to our vtigerForge:

<pre wrap="">Well that's it for now, I will continue on my "trying to understand
vtiger's code" task, so I will probably have some questions related
to developing in short.
Thank you very much,
