[Webdev] Re: Webdev Digest, Vol 10, Issue 2

[Breno Gomes]

I am a bit overloaded, but there is always some way to accommodate new 
tasks. I will review the requirements and the existing code. Hopefully I 
will give you timely feedback.

There are two existing projects you can borrow some ideas:
1. tigercrm, for user roles and user management;
(tiger is based on sugarcrm)

2. compiere and similar ERP for PO and other financial applications. A 
quick look on www.sourceforge.net > enterprise can help to find closer 
matches.

I hope this can bring fresh ideas too.
