What is the time frame of “long term goal” that you have in mind? The linked conversation turned into a forum on:
- fixing known issues and bugs
- establishing stable release management processes with emphasis on feature and usability stability
- figuring out how to do some kind of long term support for prior versions
- updating the documentation to make current code and also incorporating changes in release management process to keep it current
- improving existing modules functionality to bring them in line with other similar platforms (or even better) and not focus on new modules/apps.
On the last bullet, see my post about accounting module as a good example: ERPNext Accounts compared to OODO
So while your list is a good “big picture” list of thoughts/features, it does not give context as to timing, nor does it cover what the community is asking for right now.
I proposed in post #24 - [Roadmap] Path to v9 - #24 by James_Robertson - of the roadmap discussion some closer to home goals and v9 being much more about the underlying framework, e.g. upgrade to newer version of python.
Unfortunately, this kind of forum tool does not lend itself to something like developing a road map. I would assume there are some options of other tools, but I don’t know of any. Maybe that is what would be a good idea to move on with to help drive thoughts and consensus.
