I can bet Alan, it will not. It will need changes in vtiger team financial strategy and following expectations.<br>

dunno really, I have done some merge requests, I have a ton of things I want to fix, but never really bothered because I couldn't just fix them properly in the core. Things like vtlib adding a field shouldn't duplicate the field if it is already there for example (dupes of fields and blocks are bad because they kind of work and then bite you).<span class=""><br>

Indeed Yetiforce is a GIANT competitor to vtiger, but only because of Blazej's team focusing on very different source of income.<br>
</blockquote></span>
not sure it has the same brand awareness yet, but Blazej is certainly making a great product<span class=""><br>

Vtiger has no resources and vision to cancel ondemand app and switch to the yetiforce way.<br>

I am cool with vtiger doing the ondemand thing and building out a partner network, getting the partners to work directly with customers.<span class=""><br>

Who doing good for the sake of pocket - I dont know. I just counted petitions of moving to git, of allowing to contribute in vtiger source....<br>
Through few past years it was dozens of calls to action, and silence...<br>

and then they just did exactly that! It is awesome.<span class=""><br>

I bet, exclusive fixes will not go to open source directly anyway.<br>
</blockquote></span>
maintaining two codebases is a pain, I am not expecting the online stuff to be able to drift a huge long way from the open source repository as people will be fixing stuff in the open source version first.<span class=""><br>

Especially that active developers looking into app store direction, inheriting from vtiger double bottom open source philosophy<br>
<br>
</blockquote></span>
the only way the app store flourishes is if the core works properly and is a good architecture. There are quite a lot of things I would add to the core rather than offer as an optional extra (gantt charts in the project module to pick an example of something I would shove in the core).<br>
