hi <br>we are a lot working on vtiger... maybe the biggest problem is the dificulty to add any new function....<br>and the lack of responce from main developers...<br>maybe we should ask them what thay want to do...<br><br>
i think vtiger has a very good potential if we change the actitude.<br>we can make some work groups:<br><br>-documentation<br>-features review<br>-developers (add members)<br>-documentation!!!!<br><br>if the project go larger will be a lot of job, many enterprise will ask for paid support and others will ask special developments...
