Let me explain that I am NOT a developer.  I code just well enough to really mess things up.  Some of these programs/applications I have NO IDEA what they are for.  If you find things in the wrong place, find that I did not include a package in a category that I should have, included something in the SOHO/Home category that is not needed in that kind of an environment, let me know and I will change it.  Please forgive my ignorance on some of these issues.  I am doing my best just to provide a good working framework for us.

I am going to in this page make a lot of assumptions.  I am doing this to stir some of you into action.  I  need your help.  Tell me I am wrong.  If you see something I have missed.  If I am saying something has been decided and it has not etc.  please let me know.  Some things I am saying are decided only because a choice was made and no one to my knowledge has refuted that choice.  I can change it from green to yellow just as easily if it becomes apparent that there is still discussion.

Updated as many packages as i can to more closely reflect the current alpha packages that are available for testing. Those packages marked as 'done' are *not* necessarily final choices, but they are the packages being used (or soon to be used) within the alpha packages. If ive made any mistakes or theres something that needs adding, then report it to the list and either i or Michael can update the page.

Just a note. When i think about business i think about logistics. CRM, ERP systeams and so on. This is what the usuall big,medium company uses and i think we need to come up whith some high quality OpenSource ones.
