Fellow luggites,

I have been working on an open source project for 18 months; I wanted to have a solid core in place before asking others for help. It is finally ready to invite other PHP developers to join in.

The project is written in PHP, and it manages manufacturing Assemblies, Quotes, Invoices, Purchases, and so forth. Target audience is a small manufacturing business.

I am writing to invite you or someone you know to help work on this project. Here are some vital statistics:

o Written in PHP o uses Smarty templates o uses the ADODB database abstraction layer o Themeable; there is only one theme so far o developed with a MySQL backend, but any major DB engine will work. o one module is already object-oriented; the others are classic procedural

Although large in its own right, it is a very small competitor for the vast Compiere project which has been on Sourceforge's top 10 list for over a year now. About 500 proprietary products compete with it, also.

It needs work in the accounting module, with testing, with documentation, and with the 200 bugfixes and tweaks that measure the distance between a 0.9 and 1.0. An intrepid volunteer who is willing to extract Assemblies from its location within Quotes might be useful, also.

Also, does anyone have a PHP5 server that can be used to host a demo? Sourceforge is still at 4.3, and it won't run there.
