Nice to hear David!!<br><br>Joe Bordes and others had good insight on the question, I hope they will find some spare time to help you in this code improvment.<br><br>Also I think it would be good for you if a vTiger team member is part of the project so you can use him as a referent. It would benefit to everybody.<br>
<br>About what we expect, I think we just want to be able to add modules without changing any code in the main trunk. <br>How to achieve it? Lets come back in time and have a look to the mail on the dev list with subject: How to achieve modularization in vtiger?<br>
People interested in this subject should read this discussion.<br><br>I will try to help out as I can.<br><br>Maybe the beginning of a new era for vTiger soon!!<br><br>Regards,<br>Clem<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">
