Would this be an interesting time to look at a joint venture between
LedgerSMB and p2ee ? My Inventory module was due to release in
December but I paused it due mainly to stress. Most of the p2ee
general framework ideas are done and only needed tom complete the
first actual application. I would be glad to set-up a working
development environment or wait until I publish the Development
Virtual Box.
