I’m a big fan of ERPNext and am excited about its future. To help it compete with larger, well-funded proprietary systems, I was wondering if the community has discussed alternative funding models.
Perhaps introducing an official “Enterprise Edition” with advanced features or bundled support could provide Frappe with the stable resources needed for:
More aggressive marketing to increase brand awareness.
Expanding the core development team to speed up the roadmap.
Investing in high-quality documentation and training materials.
The goal would be to strengthen the project without compromising the open-source values we all appreciate. A rising tide lifts all boats, and a more successful ERPNext project would create more opportunities for everyone in our community.
The way I understand it so far…
I believe Frappe are focusing on feature requests from their Cloud Enterprise Customers ( ERPNext for Large Enterprises | Frappe ) and Gold Partners…
Remember this year (or was it last year) they are making a massive profit probably due to this strategy …
Us freebie community people are just enjoying the show and gate-crashing
they maybe unhelpful to you not to everyone , l know majority may not support enterprise grade but definately the product need to be known out there to compete with others , we wouldnt want to to talk about other competitors here but definately the product needs to be known out there
