## Projects Temporarily Rejected
|
|
|
|
These projects have been rejected temporarily (i.e., evaluation is on hold)
|
|
because of some issue that seems unresolvable at the moment, but may be
|
|
resolved at a later date and will remove the blocker of looking more closely
|
|
at the project.
|
|
|
|
* [[ExistingProjects/BeansBooks]]
|
|
* [Not free software](https://beansbooks.com/home/opensource)
|
|
* The developers have been reached in an effort to solve this issue.
|
|
* [[ExistingProjects/OpenPetra]]
|
|
* The linux client has not been a focus of the OpenPetra developers, and as of 2013-11-25 with the setup described in <http://www.pokorra.de/2013/11/install-openpetra-on-linux/> it crashes intermittently for various reasons.
|
|
* [[ApacheOFBiz]]
|
|
* Contacted
|
|
* As a user: Due to OFBiz's apparent lack of documentation, e.g. <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBENDUSER/12.2.6+Reports>, the evaluation has been discontinued.
|
|
* [[ExistingProjects/Kuali]]
|
|
* Contacted
|
|
* As a developer: Discontinued due to the opacity of the Kuali organization.
|
|
* [[ExistingProjects/Bookyt]]
|
|
* Contacted
|
|
* Replied to my inquiriy about help with evaluating Bookyt but has not contributed any evaluations so far.
|
|
* As a user: The project seems to be in an early state, if anyone would like to spin it up and try it you're welcome.
|
|
* [[ExistingProjects/ADempiere]]
|
|
* As a user: ADempiere is hard to get clear information about, the resources that are available are hard to navigate.

## Projects Rejected
|
|
|
|
These projects have been evaluated as part of this effort and rejected, both
|
|
for a basis of this project or for any code reuse. A few of the primary
|
|
reasons are given on this page, but the whole evaluation can be read on the
|
|
linked page.
|
|
|
|
* [[ExistingProjects/Frontaccounting#final-eval]]
|
|
* Straight PHP with no framework
|
|
* Data model somewhat messy, accounting not clearly separated.
|
|
* Only one or two developers.
|
|
* Workflow not easily configured.
|
|
* [[ExistingProjects/webERP]]: <http://www.weberp.org/> NOTE: [[Frontaccounting|ExistingProjects/Frontaccounting]] is a fork of webERP.
|
|
* A brief look at the source code seems to indicate that webERP suffers from the same issues as Frontaccounting.
|
|
* [[ExistingProjects/GNUEnterprise]]
|
|
> GNU Enterprise is not a Finance/ERP/Accounting software (yet). While the original project goal was to create exactly that, the maintainers at that time decided that as a first step, good development tools for database centered applications should be created. The focus of development then was strongly on these tools, and while they are to a certain extent usable to actually create database applications, further development in the project has come to a halt because most (all) developers shifted their energy to other projects.

* [[ExistingProjects/Garradin]]
|
|
* Entirely in french, would need l10n, i18n and might not be suitable for US or international use. *Disclaimer: I cannot read french, these are assumptions.*
