What should be the overarching marketing word for the apps? Frappeverse? Frappe? We use ERPNext in our marketing to really mean ERPNext, Frappe CRM, Frappe Learning, Frappe HR, Education…, but of late this seems very limiting, given the scope of solutions available.
Sure, faster release cycles are not an issue. Most of these apps are based on the Frappe Framework. Before using one of them in production, I’d like a release and need to know the compatible stable branch of the framework. How to find these is sometimes unclear.

Let’s just call it Frappe products 
. Frappeverse is the event name now!
Sure, we can make it explicit in the README, also pin the frappe version (maybe a hook for that?) @akhilnarang

[tool.bench.frappe-dependencies]
frappe = ">=16.0.0-dev,<17.0.0"
Can already outline other Frappe apps or Framework itself (since it’s a valid Frappe app) as required dependencies with versions. ERPNext does it already and so does HR and Payroll.

Is the Gameplan app being maintained or upgraded by Frappe? I am deploying this application for customers but the app often crashes. I have reported bugs on github but have not received a response from the Frappe team.

Yes, the app it had a huge potential, but it has been neglected even for bug fixes.
At the moment it must be putting all its attention on insight.
I didn’t know about Drive!!! Very happy to see that there’s a nextcloud alternative for Frappe.
Just one question, the idea of storing and transfering a large volume of files on a running operating erpnext instance seems scary and hard to manage.
Is it possible to configure Frappe Drive to only manage users and permissions on the instance and transfer and store files on an external nfs for example?
Thanks. And about Frappe Drive, when will the final version of this app be published on Frappe Cloud? My team uses it for internal storage, but it seems incomplete. We’ve suggested many features on GitHub, but we don’t know when they’ll be implemented. Can you share more information about the app?

Drive is entirely independent. So it doesn’t touch existing files on a running instance and is a different DocType. Although it still uses /private/files/ each user gets their own folder so it’s /private/files/$user_a, for all files by $user_a in Frappe Drive.
That makes it easy to add it to an existing instance and see if it fits your workflow. Without disrupting any of the current files or data. Will add a way to move your current files over to Drive down the road, or make it the sole file handler.
This is not something that’s supported yet but isn’t difficult to add. Ideally the root path in Frappe Drive should be configurable so instead of /private/files/ you can just supply a root path.
Currently, Drive is prioritizing Frappe Cloud, but once that has stabilized I can have a look at another round of self-host/on-prem features that are sorely needed.
Frappe Cloud is very close, we have an internal list of priorities we’re trying to clear before pushing it out.
For now, only bugs on the GitHub issues are prioritized. Design and Features will be considered after Drive is available on Frappe Cloud.
We hear you. Thanks for reporting the issues. We’ll be fixing them soon.

I feel as a non-technical user, this becomes more difficult for self-hosted environments.
especially installing, do in-app customizations, and connecting apps to each other,
If I may ask, why not make it modular like Odoo? @michelle @rmehta
I’d say that’s exactly what they are doing
looks like frappe is going to become zoho 
To be honest I think Frappe and Erpnext can one day be THE erp. Blowing out of the water any other rivals.
As long as they keep it pretty opensourced for clever folks and devs.
Just like Blender VS any other 3D modeling software out there.

Yes, that’s what I saw also in version 13/14 where I first got to know ERPnext. And now i just don’t get it what the vision of Frappe separating ERPNext into small products. which are already available and mature in the market.
Is the version 14 superior in anyway, specially the webshop ( which was separated ) than version 15/16?
If you are looking to host it in the Mumbai region, it is now available for $5/month on Frappe Cloud. More info: Introducing the $5 Plan | Frappe Blog
