Re: ERP standards

[Derek A. Neighbors]

We of course think standards are important.  I think the biggest problem 
is we have a hard time endorsing standards that either:

a. require a fee for membership to give input.  as it is against the 
nature of free software to have to 'pay' to participate in the 
development of the 'standard', participation should be meritted by one's 
ability expertise in an area not whether their company can afford the fee.

b. are vendor creator or used by vendors to neutralize a market, 
specifically the standard is created to cause confusion among those not 
in the 'vendors' circle

That said, GNUe is highly flexible so it could be made to support almost 
any 'standard' you so desire.  I do not know of this MRPII standard but 
would love to see more on it, can you either provide a link in a return 
email or submit it as a story on http://www.gnuenterprise.org ?

Thanks
